We started off the week with a wonderful treat – the boys and girls got their book bug bags home.
In maths this week the boys and girls have been learning all about money. They have enjoyed sorting coins up to the value of £1, counting and matching amounts of money and role playing with the tills.
In art this week the children were learning about the primary colours and then used this knowledge to create their own piece of Mondrian Art.

This week we have been learning about the Scottish Parliament – Aiden p7
Last week P7 went to Hillpark for a STEM day.
First of all we made rockets to launch later that day. We made them out of card and sticky tape. Next we had our break and it was delicious.
Then we went to maths and learned how to find the average speed of our rocket. After that we went to science to launch our rockets outside to see how far they went.
After we launched our rockets we went for lunch. It was very tasty.
After lunch we tried to recreate our rockets in ICT. They were amazing. Here are some pictures from the day.

At the end of last term as part of our learning in STEM, P7 designed and built earthquake proof buildings and tested them! First we had to build them. we used cocktail sticks and marshmallows.
Here are some of our buildings.
Next we had to test them. We used a tray of jelly because it wobbled like an earthquake! We timed each of our buildings to see how long it stood for.
Almost all of our buildings survived the earthquake!! Although a few did collapse!
We really enjoyed learning all about earthquakes and how buildings are built to survive them. It was great fun making our own buildings and testing them!!
Number Time
The children really are really engaging in the range of different learning opportunities happening in and out of the classroom. This week we have been focusing on number ordering, formation and being able to sort objects into sets. Here are some examples of the children hard at work.
Shape Hunt
We took advantage of the nicer afternoons this week and we went on a shape hunt. The children were looking for examples of 2d shapes in their environment.

Fun with letters and words
Primary 1 hope you enjoyed their learning journey this week. Have a lovely weekend!
Wow what a busy week have had. We had been busy preparing our songs for the Macmillan Coffee Afternoon but we managed to squeeze some more fun learning in! Have a look at us in action…
I wonder if you can guess which letter we were learning about?
Yip that’s right ‘l’ – the boys are girls made lollipop crafts to reinforce that sound! Mmm they look good don’t they.
It’s very important that we reinforce our sounds so we did this through sorting activities and roll and cover activities.
The children have started to read, write and identify common words – watch out we have some new readers about 🙂
A listening station has been introduced at language time. The children really enjoy listening to stories and telling us about what they listened to.
