Road safety

Good morning everyone.

This week we had some visitors come to see us in the school playground. Lorna from the Glasgow Road Safety team came to help us with our campaign to make the new entrance on St Andrews Drive safer.
She has loaned us two parking buddies, be sure to look out for them and slow down when you see them!

she also brought along 2 speed guns for us to use. We think that too many cars are driving over the speed limit when driving on this road and now that most of us use this road every day we need to change this!

we all got a turn of using the speed gun and clocking the speed of a passing car. Shockingly, almost 3/4 of the cars we saw were speeding! The fastest we recorded was 48 miles per hour! We were horrified!

hopefully these records will help our campaign to install some traffic calming  measures on St Andrews Drive. But for now, please take care when you are out on the road!

We will keep you updated on our campaign. We are working hard writing letters to the government asking for change as well as creating a podcast to deliver our message.

Meet the Teacher

 

As we can’t have parents, carers and visitors into the building at this time, P7 have made a video to show the people at home what they are looking forward to this year and to meet Miss Webster

if anyone wishes to ask Miss Webster anything about the year ahead which would normally be discussed in person at this type of event please email

An outdoorsy week

Hello everyone!

we have had another amazing week here in primary 7.

We have started our new maths topic: Angles!

We went out into the playground to find types of angles in the real world. We found acute, right, obtuse and reflex angles.

we also went outside to take part in an orienteering game with our Active Schools Coordinator Yvonne! You can see the photos from this on the health and well-being blog!

This week the whole school have been focussing on Mental Health. We learning that mental health is not a bad thing and we all have days where we do not feel our best. We gave Miss Webster some examples we knew based on our own experiences and learned about different ways to help both ourselves and those around us.

Finally we have been continuing our discussion about regulating emotions. Stay tuned for a fun video with our incredible performances about this topic!

A hard working week

Hi everybody this has been a hard working week for Primary 7. This week we have been learning how to podcast with Mr McCormack.

 

 

Its was fun while we were doing Drama acts based on persuasive writing.

Also we need to be aware of the things we post on social media which we call ‘Digital Footprint’.

This was a proud moment for Shayan Ahmed as he won the Friday Prize certificate.

thanks for reading, it has been a pleasure writing for you
