We did an Arts Installation called the ‘Circle of Trust’. We WON. Yeah babyyyyyyy!

It was about people trusting one another and we explored the theme of giving and taking from the earth by creating conscience led communities.

We made a video explaining the rules of the trust challenges and this ensured everyone entering exhibition had trust in us.

We explored three main issues; education, agriculture and regeneration.

We made a path and participants could sign using fingerprints, footprints or handprints using different artistic materials.

This week in Primary 7, when we weren’t out of school galavanting, we were doing the following fun tasks;

• Working with Ben from the Village Storytelling on our first session of Gender Stereotypes. We played categories, we discussed the different assumptions people make about males and females (in fiction too), and we heard an amazing traditional story about a Scottish man who goes on an adventure in a boat. It was called ‘The Man with no story’.
• We hosted a FABULOUS class assembly on ‘Homelessness’. I can’t get ‘Happier’ by Bastille and Marshmallow out of my head now ha! Zeenat received some extra special news from Alice (Social Bite Representative). She is going to the BIG SLEEP OUT on Saturday evening to present her story to thousands of audience members. We could not be MORE proud of her – a brave, resilient girl!
• We went to the Tramway on Tuesday morning to see a production of ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens. It was amazing, and the set and props were out of this world! Little bit scary at times…for Miss Cohen mostly!
• We hosted our school’s Christmas Fayre on Friday morning where we sold deluxe hot chocolates on our Polar Express train, and homemade gingerbread and shortbread cookies. It was a lot of fun!

Have a lovely weekend, and enjoy the winter sunshine who will be making a welcoming appearance!

On Tuesday morning, we had a mission!

A mission like no other.

We divided into small groups, and had an Apprentice style learning task set by our very own Lord Sugar equivalent, Madam Masala (aka. Mrs Harker!).

We were given 10 items, and in our groups we had to go around shops in our local area and purchase as many items on the list as possible within the time limit, getting as much change in our pockets at the end of the task. We practised budgeting, bartering, and communicating in a polite and charming manner to drive our hard bargains!

Have a look at the fun we had with Miss Cohen, Miss Rehman and Mr McCormack!

I’d definitely trust these P7s to get me the best deals on the next Black Friday ha!

What a blast we had at the Christmas show at the Science Centre. We went with P6/7, P6 and Class 2. Patrick and Chris were our double act presenters, and they made us lol with their funny jokes and facts! Here’s some vids and pictures to show you how much fun we had…

Hi Primary 7,

Above is a link to  Christmas themed Maths Challenges I think you may enjoy! Give them a go and let me know how you get on 🙂

Miss Cohen (Ho, ho, ho!)

This is me drawing St Albert’s for his feast day, and on it, there was a detailed goodbye letter to Mrs Martin as it was her last day. (slightly older post but very important nevertheless. – Saad K

We went to Holyrood High School for Catholic Education Week. We prayed together, ate collectively a yummy brekkie (rolls and sausage; yum!).

Here we are practicing for our class assembly on homelessness.

Miss Cohen asked us to define the term ‘budget’. Saad decided to draw an illustration,  and Rayan gave an accurate account of his understanding of this.

WE (Laiba Mohammed, Zainab, Abeera, Ryan, Zain, Layba, Yashdeep, Ahsan) went to play Badminton at Holyrood Sports Centre with P7s from different Glasgow schools. We played really well, and did St Albert’s proud!

We have some gorgeous P1 visitors who were on the hunt for DINO BONES. They were doing a scavenger hunt with magnifying glasses and Miss Bull gave them clues with rhyming words!

This drawing is the plan for “A circle of trust”, our contemporary Art Exhibition that we are doing next Tuesday 11th December. All parents and community members are very welcome to come along and see it!

In Maths, we worked in a group of three; customer, banker, advisor. So, we had to choose how much money the customer wanted to borrow, and the banker had to decide on an amount (%) of interest to charge, and the advisor had to compare the prices and rates between different banks and suggest the cheapest loan. – Hafsa, Hussain, Rayan

We are doing our hand clap trick; Mimi, Laiba, Amina, Hafsa

We even extended our skills to 8 PEOPLE when we went to Hafsa’s house. It was so noisy but loads of fun!

What a fun week! See you next week for some more learning!
