As a class, we have been exploring the theme of Bullying. We identified Bullying as a main theme/idea of Chapter 9 of our class novel, ‘Why the Whales Came’ and began to explore this theme in a variety of different ways. We created Mind Maps of the bullying events in our novel and we looked at different kinds of bullying in society today. We enjoyed watch a CBBC drama were famous people highlighting the importance of dealing with bullying. Pupils then asked if they could create their own dramas about bullying which we really enjoyed making! We also planned and produced an information leaflet all about bullying.
P7 so far…
Primary 7 were set a Home Learning challenge to share their experience of P7 so far. Here is a little of what some of them said…
Hectic, special and memorable are just some of the words that could be used to describe my Primary 7 experience so far. I enjoyed when we went out to the meadow collecting flowers and plants, it was great fun working and learning with my group. In maths I liked learning about compass points and angles. One of my favourite things has been the photography challenge because we had to work in groups to take different pictures. I have had a great Primary 7 so far and there is still lots to come.
My experience in Primary 7 so far has been amazing. We have learned so much these past weeks and months like the life processes topic, that was great fun. I feel I have come so far and hope I can improve further.
6 years have past and primary 7 has finally come, we are still in the same class and we are still having fun and finally everyone is getting on. We are also residents of the huts so we are almost out of St Pat’s. Now I have got my little sisters teacher from last year which is pretty awesome, she’s a great teacher and I’m learning loads. Some of the highlights so far have been more opportunities to run clubs, we are also doing walk a mile every day inspired by St Ninian’s primary school in Stirling who won a national award for starting it up. I’ve been picked for the school football team for the third year in a row and I can’t wait for the first game. There are lot’s more fun things coming our way which is Lockerbie!
Photography Challenge
Here are some more images from our challenge.
Blogging Bootcamp Photography Challange
P7 enthusiastically took part in a Blogging Bootcamp Photograpgy Challange. We were given a list of interesting photo challenges and we had to work as a group to plan, take and upload our pictures. It certainly was a challage! We were very impressed at the imagination of our class mates and our photography skills were not to bad at all. Take a look at our list of interesting photos and see if you can match the titles to each picture.
Carnation Craziness
Today Mrs Black explained the parts of a flower for us, then she put us to the test by handing each of us a flower and asked us to dissect and investigate into finding every single thing she had explained. Eventually we found:
the stigma
pollen
the style
the ovary
the anther
and the filament.
We had lots of fun!

Outdoor Learning – Plant Life Investigation
P7 took part in a plant life investigation in our local meadow. After collecting samples, pupils worked in their groups to sort, organise and display their findings. They used large construction materials to display their findings in a creative way.
Learning the 7 Life Processes
Primary 7B took learning outside on a hot on sunny afternoon. We were given the group challenge of ensuring all our group members learned the 7 Life Processes. We could choose our preferred learning style and we were very creative indeed! Check out our YouTube video to see if you think we have been successful learners!
