Our weekly catch up

We’ve had a very Halloween-y time last week!

On Tuesday we had our Halloween disco at night which was fun! We listened to music and had a boys vs girls dance off, then we did a massive conga line!

On Wednesday we learned mo

re about the human body. This time it was about the digestive system. A funny part was when some of us had to try and eat 3 crackers in 1 minute without any water. It was so difficult because our mouths were so dry! We learned that the digestive system starts with our mouths and that we need the enzymes in saliva to help break down our food as we chew it.

On Thursday we created some Halloween gramographs with Mrs Lafferty. They were pretty cool.

On Friday morning we started learning more about fractions and completed a simplifying/equivalent fractions puzzle. When we managed to put the pieces together, we realised it was the shape of a ghost!

On Friday afternoon we had our Halloween class party. We played musical statues, musical chairs and a mummy game where we got into groups of three and had to cover one of our team members in toilet paper. The best mummy at the end won but Miss Napier didn’t make it easy… Each mummy had to take 10 steps around the class and so much of the toilet paper started falling off!

Our Last 2 Weeks in Room 24

October 24, 2025 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

Hi and welcome to the room 24 blog by Aaron and Harris for last week and John and Alexander for this week.

The girls got the opportunity to start football training and some even took part in their first tournament. They did really well by winning or drawing their games!

In maths, we’ve been working with decimals and learning how to multiply and divide them.

For Halloween, we created themed neon signs using soft pastels and chalk to make a glowing effect. Take a look at the photo below to see how some of them turned out.

We’ve started our new topic – the DigiInventors Challenge set by Glasgow City College. We’ve got to design a digital device to help young people with medical or learning conditions and then create a presentation to submit. Its going to be a busy term but we hope to have some winners when they’re announced next year.

We had an exciting delivery from Katy our Active Schools Coordinator… Pickleball sets! We’ll be starting a block on this from next week and we can’t wait! Katy has also been leading the Sidekicks training for some of us, so we’ll be able to lead P1-3s in playing games.

There’s been so much going on that we could keep going on and on and on… So we’ll stop it there!

Thanks for reading!

Round-Up in Room 24

We’ve been continuing our human body learning and have been studying what’s in our blood. We had to name all of the different things that make up blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma. We learned how … Continue reading →

Our Week in Room 24

September 19, 2025 by Miss Napier | 0 comments

Science – We started learning about the Human Body this week with our new friend ‘Cal’ the skeleton. Cal is short for calcium… Get it?! We labeled all his bones using the correct words like scapula and cranium and we all found out what cartilage is. We’re calling our science topic called Blood, Bones and Bodies and we are very excited to learn more.

RME – We learned about the Golden Rule found in each of the six main world religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism and Hinduism. They all have their own version of the Golden Rule such as Islam’s ‘Wish for others what you would wish for yourself.’ This basically means be kind to each other and treat others how you would wish to be treated.

Math – This week in math, Miss Napier put up the question 4+(12÷3)²x2 on the board and we all thought ‘how on earth do we do that!?’ Then we learned about BODMAS, which is the order of operations rule. BODMAS stands for: Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction. Once we knew this, it was much easier to complete the questions we had to do!

These past couple of  days we have also been creating our road safety posters for South Lanarkshire’s Road Safety Calendar competition. The theme for P7 this year is safe and active journeys. We’ve come up with some great posters with catchy slogans. Fingers crossed we have a winner!

Many of us in the class prepared House Captain speeches which were filmed by Mrs Webber this week. These videos will be shown in every class and pupils will get the chance to vote for their favourite house captain candidates. We wish everyone good luck!
