Why are we blogging?

“We are starting a blog to hopefully share ideas. We also want to know about what other schools are doing.” Becky

“We are blogging so we have more to show on our CVs.” Daniel

“We are starting a blog to share our learning and so we can find out about other schools, so we can share ideas and learn more. We will keep you informed about all the brilliant things we do in P6/7.” Isla

P7A are online!

Hi we are P7A – a for awesome! We are a primary 7 class that are full of knowledge and enthusiasm who will be blogging throughout the year. We are a class full of different personalities and unique individuals. We are a VERY noisy bunch – the loudest class EVER! Fifteen of us are ambassadors; pupils who help younger children around the school and give up their time to help the staff. Also our class is very sporty. We like to participate in many sports such as football, ice hockey, dance, running, roller hockey, kick boxing, karate, field hockey, swimming, basketball and netball. Some of us really like to listen to and play music. A small percentage of the class play instruments like trumpet, violin, guitar, drums and clarinet. We are all good at different things in school like Maths, ICT, Language, Art, topic work and P.E. It will be our pleasure to create this blog and we hope you enjoy it!

What are we going to blog about?

This year P7 are going to blog about the amazing learning that will take place in and around our classroom.  We would like to share our learning with other people all around Scotland and we would also like our parents and carers to  be aware of what we do in class.  We are excited about all the topics we will do this year. P7 will be putting on a show and going away to Dalguise for the weekend. We will be able to share photos of our work and celebrate our successes.
