Neiva wrote about going on a 4 and a half hour walk for man on  Inverclyde and I was the youngest person to ever do it! Now that’s it for today!BYE!

Hi, it’s your most iconic duo here NEIVA and SARA! We are here to talk about our 5th week in p7.On Thursday Caitlyn and Miss Hamilton came in to to talk about play makers and we had to write in a booklet why you would be a good leader. We have learned about the place value of decimals. We played lots of games for this. We wrote stories about our biggest achievements and some of us brought in some things from home. We then got taught some games such as the bean game and the silent game that we could teach when we are giving out ideas for a warm up. 0n Thursday we also did rugby with Clare. We did 3 on 3’s in rugby it was super fun. On Wednesday  with Mrs McGowan we played with the boom wackers. Today we celebrated 30 years of fairtrade!! Happy birthday 🎈 Over all this week was AMAZING. We hope you have enjoyed this blog post and P7 look forward to making more blog posts in the future!BYE!

Hello it’s Lily-May and Isla C. Today we will be writing about our class assembly that occurred  this morning. We were quite nervous but we managed to complete it. Our class assembly was about a new girl starting p7, at Whinhill, and her teacher and class mates all help her to understand the whinhill way! The whinhill way is making sure we follow our values, girfec, y-chart and especially our class and playground charters.  We also sang some classic whinhill songs. For example we’re on this road. The younger ones absolutely adored it!

We used lots of skills during our assembly- our focus skill for this week was communication!! We used our dialogic skills during the performance.

The P7 assembly is coming this friday at 9.30 in the morning it’s all about the whinhill  way and all of the schools values. we are looking forward to see you and please stay for fairtrade cuppa. 😀

For math we have been focusing on place value. We have been going up to 7 digits! P7'sfrom Mrs Alexanders class have been joining us for math. We have 3 groups and we have been doing ordering and sequencing and adding 100/taking away 100.Everyone in class has been enjoying this! We have been trying our hardest to finish our work on time and we are so excited to see what our next focus in math is!

We have also been doing shape in math with p7/6, we have learned about 3d shapes and their names and also 2d shapes. We took our learning outside... We love outdoor learning!!

During our 3rd week in P7 Caitlyn, our active schools Coordinator, came in to P7 to talk about a big opportunity that only P7s can do and that is getting to be playmakers. We made application forms and we will be starting this in a couple of weeks… This means that during lunch or after school we will take a class and teach them games so that we are using our skills for learning life and work. We will be using skills such as working with others, being a leader, managing time and thinking creatively. We are so excited to become playmakers! and that is all thanks to Caitlyn.

Hi this is Zoe and Sara  from Primary 7.We are here to tell you about our first week in P7. It has been fabulous so far because our teachers are amazing. We have learned lots of stuff this week, here are some examples: First thing we did was our fantastic class charter with a theme of…MINIONS! Then for spelling we were revising the ture and sure spelling rule. Next we had a dialogic discussion about our Y chart to decide what was going on it. It was wonderful. After all that hard work we made a front cover for our skills scrapbook that we will fill in throughout the year with all the ways we have developed our skills… Another thing we did was a personal writing piece about our biggest adventure and it was so fun. Afterwards each of us made an outstanding girfec [girfec is an anagram for getting it right for every child] poem. Finally during we have been learning about place value with 5,6 and 7 digit numbers and we played some games using dice, it was super entertaining… we loved working together for the game.

See you in our next post !!!!

This week we handed out our first newspaper for February, our next   one will be March (you will either get it the end of march or the start of April).

February we had Mrs Ruddy’s column, our comedy column and our inspirational quote of the week.  We also had Mrs. Hunters column and other interesting things u can find on twitter.  The p7s  chose the playmakers of the month in the sports column.

The p7s chose the joke , riddle and maths question of the month which will keep you busy.

On Tuesday we were playing Rugby in P.E. First we warmed up with benchball, dodgeball and king. King is basically dodgeball but you pick someone to be king or queen in each team, and then you tell the teacher who it is and then you begin the game. If you get hit by the ball you sit down and the king/queen taps you on the shoulder but if the king/queen gets hit by the ball the opposing  team wins the game. Then we started with rugby.  Firstly we ran lines in groups of three to practise passing backwards. Then we played 10 pass which is a game that you will get split 4 teams and 2 teams go against each other to see what team can get ten passes first without getting  intercepted (the ball getting hit out of play)  overall it was very fun!!

This week in P7 we have done loads of things!

Currently, we are making a space news timeline, including all of the big space events that have changed history. We have been doing this with Miss Friedlein  and will be continuing next Wednesday.

On Thursday we researched the similarities and differences between Spain and Scotland. We found out many interesting things about both countries, as well as doing 2 math’s assessments earlier that day.

For the past couple of weeks we have been focusing on angles with Miss Mutton, but particularly this week we have been learning about corresponding and alternate angles.

In reading, the orange group have been reading Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson. Many of us that have read this book in the past have really enjoyed it and would really recommend this book.

We can’t believe it’s almost Term 4! This means even more assessments 🙁

We hope everyone has a great weekend. Thank you for reading this weeks blog. Bye!
