This week P7a were joined by Miss Glen from the University of the West of Scotland. Miss Glen will be helping us deliver the curriculum at different points throughout the year.

This week P7a started their new class novels: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas & The Stowaway. We also extended our knowledge of fractions, learned about WW2 evacuees and created some art inspired by the Clydebank blitz.

Primary 3 have been learning about Fairtrade.  We began by completing a survey to see what we knew and watched a video which explained what Fairtrade was.  We then discussed why it is needed to help the farmers get enough money to look after their families.  We chose the journey of the chocolate to learn about and were interested to find out that it starts as a cocoa bean on a tree thousands of miles away.

This week we’ve been working incredibly hard in numeracy; using the order of operations (B.O.D.M.A.S) to solve problems involving more than one operation.

We’ve been chasing away the January blues with some inspired performances for our Burn’s showcase. P7a have been working tirelessly to learn their lines, songs and stage directions.

The weather hasn’t been great, but we’ve been very mature and sensible when hiding inside from the rain.
