The P7s got their leavers hoodies this week, we love them! (All P7s)

We started our new IDL topic ‘Natural Disasters.’ We were allowed to get involved in the planning of this topic by writing down our ideas and the different things we’d like to learn about. (Gillen, Sophie & Daisy)

We’ve started a new module in music all based on the song, ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. We got to use the glockenspiels to play along with the music. (Chloe)

On Wednesday, the P6s of Room 21 went on a trip to the Burrell Collection. We’ve been studying European artists so it was great to get the chance to see Sir William Burrell’s collection as that includes many European artefacts. We took part in an ‘Art in Nature’ workshop, creating our own little sketchbooks and drawing in them as we learned about different artists and their styles of work. We got to see some of Auguste Rodin’s sculptures, including ‘The Thinker’ that we based our clay models on in class. We also got the chance to spend some time in the play park before the bus came to pick us up! All in, we had a great day!

We’ve had an incredibly busy week in Room 21! Here are just a FEW of the things we’ve been getting up to this week:

Our P6s presented their solo talks on some European capital cities, our P7s began some mini poster projects on topics of their own choosing and also finished up their 13 week block of swimming lessons, we celebrated World Book Day by taking part in a book quiz and buddy reading with room 11 (which we loved!), we shared our topic learning at Friday’s assembly and we were also able to celebrate the success of our classmate as he came 1st place in the P6 boys Cross Country local heats. He’ll be taking part in the South Lanarkshire finals in a couple of weeks. Take a look through some of the photos of our highlights this week:

This week in room 21 we’ve been writing persuasive letters to the International Paralympic Committee. Gymnastics isn’t included as an event right now and we hope our letters will support the British Gymnastics campaign to have it included in time for the 2028 Games.

During maths, we’ve been finishing up our data handling learning. We researched the average monthly rainfall in Glasgow (after learning about the water cycle) and compared it with the rainfall in a different European city. Then we created bar charts to show the data using Google Docs. THEN we worked out the range, median, mode and mean for Glasgow’s rainfall.

For ‘Beyond Number’ maths this week, we were using something called Sphero Indi which is a mini robot car that comes with different coloured mats. Our teacher didn’t tell us what to do with Indi and we had to work together to try and figure out what she could do and how to get her to move.

We figured out that Indi turns in different directions depending on which colour mat she goes over. We created lots of little trails for her and some groups even teamed up to make bigger trails. There was lots of teamwork and problem solving going on.

Did you know that 70% of the Earth’s surface is made up of water? We learned this amazing fact this week while learning about the water cycle. We carried out an experiment using sandwich bags and blue-coloured water to see evaporation, condensation and precipitation in action. Take a look at our photos to see them on our class windows.
