On Wednesday we spent the afternoon visiting Balmulloch Library. We met Nicola who tested us on our library knowledge.

Our IDL topic this term is Climate Change and Global Warming . Today we tried to think of all the different things that use energy. There was so many, we could have gone on for hours! As a class we discussed what Fossil Fuels are. Oil, coal, and gas are fossil fuels which means that they will eventually run out, and they produce C02 which impacts on Global Warming and Climate Change.
The playground buddy training is continuing to run really well. This week the P7’s were learning how to deal with problems in the playground. In their teams, they were given different scenarios and had to come up with solutions on how they would sort them out in the playground.
Over the past week, P7a have been looking at the differences between nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs to help with our writing. We split up into different expert groups and came up with fun and creative ways to teach the rest of the class about each word type. The adjective group came up with a catchy rap! The adverb group made great posters and a quiz to test their classmates.
At Balornock Primary we want to ensure that all of our pupils are safe. As part of our Health and Wellbeing Curriculum we explore ways in which children can keep themselves safe online. As a school community we also want to ensure our parents and carers understand more about how to keep their children safe online.
