Hi,
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! We are looking forward to an extremely busy term:
and lots more to come.
For homework for the last two weeks we have been doing lots of research. These include Dresden, zoos, bears and elephants. There is lots on our class wall with very interesting information.
Well done P7 -you were all stars at the festival today and deserved to win. I hope we do as we’ll in the regional finals!
If you were there then post a comment about the day
Remember to bring PE kit and water bottle tomorrow if you are going to the festival at Ravenscraig,
Recently we have got 12 new IPads for the school and we have been using them for Class topics . We are really enjoying having them and they are a great help for the boys and girls.
Today Mrs McCabe from the North Lanarkshiere computer centre visited our class to help us set up our e-portfolios. These are our very own blogs that chart our progress in all our subjects. It also allows staff in school to find out about what we are learning.
We had a glow meet all about choices for life . It was about smoking , drugs and alchohol and why the are not good for you. There was a short film about a boy called Liam who was getting pressurised into smoking. He took one draw and chose not to smoke. There was 6,000 children watching choices for life live on glow meet. They had the boy who played Liam and the boy who played Michael on the show talking about why not to smoke and do drugs. Liam loved swimming so he chose not to smoke as it would ruin his chances to become a proffesional and have a good career.
Why not post a reason why smoking is bad for you?
Last week the school purchased some brand new Ipads. Mr Smith is organising a
Media Master group for p6 and p7. These people have the job of looking after the Ipads and to erase the history. They will be trained how to use them correctly by Mr Smith and will then help younger classes.
I hope that everyone enjoyed their time off last week and is looking forward to another busy term. This term we will be studying WWII as our topic.
Today we began a block of writing instructions. Our first set of instructions was to make a cup of tea. Mr Smith took us into the staffroom to make a cup and we then discussed the stages needed. We created a checklist of criteria that people needed to meet and we wrote a comment before discussing it with our partners.
Hopefully this will help us improve our work.
