Exciting times in P7! A huge well done to everyone from P7’s who has campaigned to be this years House and Vice Captains. You all gave a fantastic speech. It will certainly be a tough decision for the voters! Watch this space, results due to be announced on Monday!
Children in P7 have enjoyed taking part in events in class and throughout the school, as part of world book day. They enjoyed reading to primary 1 children, creating their own characters and short stories as well as taking part in the class team book quiz.
P7 were testing their knowledge of fractions by participating in fraction wars. Using a set of playing cards, children have to establish which partner has the largest fraction. This allowed them to consolidate their knowledge of equivalent fractions, improper fractions and mixed number fractions. Well done!
P7’s official picture of their visit to NLC Chambers.
P7 were fortunate to have a visit from some of the fantastic social subjects teachers from Uddingston Grammar earlier today. They participated in a lesson based on the geography and history of Pompeii and Roman Life. Pupils worked in small groups but were also required to produce individual pieces. Children were asked to consider their opinion on the importance of Pompeii and the significance of historical information it provides.
P7 enjoyed a visit to the Council Chambers as part of their Scottish Parliament topic. They were greeted by the Depute Provost Tom Castles and Councillor Bob Burrows. The children particularly enjoyed question time in the Chambers, where they were able to ask some interesting and challenging questions to the elected officials. I think we definitely have a few budding politicians in the making.
Children enjoyed a competitive morning at Uddingston Hockey club. They tested some of their latest hockey skills against schools from the local area and beyond. A great morning was had by all!
P7 have been baking up a storm in the kitchen. After researching the impact of rationing on daily lives during WW2, children were keen to try some of the treats that was enjoyed during these times. Following the WW2 recipe, children weighed, measured and mixed the ingredients to bake some tasty rock buns. Yummy! 🤩
Construction on the class bomb shelter is well underway. Children have worked together to construct the wooden frame and cardboard skin. We are on the final stages of painting then we will have to work our magic in the interior. Fantastic work boys and girls!
Construction of the P7 planets for the UGS STEM challenge is well under way. We have some very creative minds in P7. I cannot wait to see them when they are complete.
