Our adventurous fortnight

Hello P7 blog readers, as you can see we never posted last week as we have been mega busy working hard on our projects, including our science lessons and our WW2 topic. So as you will see we have had a busy couple of weeks.

Topic-  Some of our class worked on a podcast with Mr McCormack. This involved telling Mr McCormack what we had learned about WW2 and Force K6.  While this was happening, the rest of the class created  posters advertising St Alberts radio show (STARS) which will be on Sunny Govan. In our Topic we learned about Isobel Harling and Naik Gian Singh who both showed acts of bravery and kindness during WW2.  This week we also got our new iPads (YEAHHHH) This meant we could up level our digital learning skills by researching facts about WW2. We also visited Scotland Street museum. This was a great trip as we  learned about WW” but also learned more about each other, through games and questions.

Science- Im a Scientist Get me Out of Here, is a programme for primary children to experience the life of a scientist and vote on who  they think has the best research project.  We got to carry out two experiments and have a live chat with the scientists. One experiment was based on the digestive system and the other was an electric circuit. This was fun as we learned  how to direct and re direct energy to power a small Lego car.

PE- Over the weeks

we have been working on our overall fitness. We having completed many different circuits. This involved, sit ups, running, hula hooping, star jumps and bench kicks.

 

That’s all from P7

Highlights of the week

 

Monday:

We learned about the British Indian Army, specifically Force K6 and the role they played in World War 2

Tuesday:

We  waked to Scotland Street museum  to find out further information about World War 2 . We also found out more information about each other and how people got jobs when they first came to Scotland. This was very interesting and fun.

Wednesday:

We decided that we were going to make two podcasts, one based around Christmas and other based on WW2.  Mr McCormack taught us how to play Samba music. This involved us using different instruments and trying to find the correct pulse and beat.

Thursday:

Free flow with Mrs Brightman. This involved 7 stations- Science, art, cooking, drama, music  literacy, numeracy and research . This was fun.
