Learning the 7 Life Processes

Primary 7B took learning outside on a hot on sunny afternoon. We were given the group challenge of ensuring all our group members learned the 7 Life Processes. We could choose our preferred learning style and we were very creative indeed! Check out our YouTube video to see if you think we have been successful learners!

A poem about Penny…

Penny
Fun, happy, friendly
Daughter of Sharon, sister of Rose
I love my family, my toy Boo and my friends
I felt happy, excited, sad
I fear snakes and daddy long legs
Who has a bronze award for trampolining
I want to play ice-hockey
Born in Dundee, lives in Dundee

The tale of Taylor…

Taylor
Brainy, friendly, sporty, brave
Grandson of George, brother of Blaine
I love buses, the T.V show Doctor Who, my Xbox and my brother
I felt exhausted, excited and busy
I fear heights, the Hilltown and wasps
Who has achieved having his name on a bus
I want to experience the London Eye. I want to be a bus driver. I want to be a celebrity.
Born in Dundee, lives in Dundee

 

 

 

Leading our Learning

Recently, the Student Media Team held their first meeting to discuss what we will be getting up to this term.

Learning to lead the meeting was an important skill as you never know what you might encounter when working with a large group of people. It helped us learn to respond properly to other people giving their views and opinions and at times, talking over one another!

We both volunteered to chair the meeting and we had the job of planning ahead and ensuring the agenda was ready and then typing up the minutes afterwards. We knew it would be important to encourage and include everyone’s ideas.

Skills we developed:

  • Planning the meeting
  • Encouraging ideas
  • Making decisions
  • Using our initiative
  • Effective communication
  • Problem solving

These skills will be really useful because many people have to participate in meetings at some point in their lives and many of us will on a regular basis in our future careers.

Everyone included in the meeting was using their talking and listening skills to participate effectively and contribute their ideas and suggestions.  We worked cooperatively to create good questions we might want to ask the classes when we go round to gather information for the school newspaper ‘The Gourock Gossip’.

Mrs Falconer was really impressed at how the whole group conducted themselves and we think this picture shows just how focused we were on the task!

We are developing our skills for learning, life and work and hope this gives you a good picture of our learning in P7!

Thanks for reading!

Craigowl P7B BioPoem – simply the best!

Craigowl,
Best, brilliant, banter,
Pupils of Mrs M,
Lovers of devices, fiction and movies,
Who feel enthusiastic, awesome and energetic,
Who fear changes, loneliness and no wifi connection,
Who are known as the best, up for a challenge and work as a team,
Who want everyone on gold, to be remembered and be all we can be,
Dundee,
Primary 7B.

 

Home soon!

This week has been truly amazing it is a very good experience . Personally, my favourite thing was the rafting. It was very good and wet! Most people’s wellies were full of water. The campfire was amazing too we can all sing ‘bungalow’. The low ropes was good and everyone trusted each other and I think Mr Hamilton was very proud of all of us. I think we will all miss Ben very much he was a very good instructor. The bird boxes was very funny because Ben broke our bird box 5 times. Another   group called there’s peanut butter because of Andrews little sister. I think this years p6s will enjoy it next year .
