This week we have been celebrating Robert Burns throughout a variety of activities. We have worked on Tam O’Shanter in literacy in order to understand the poem and try to work out the Scottish words.

Gregor-I read verse 3,4,15 and 16 of Tam O Shanter. Verse 3 and 4 is about A man called Tam went out to the bar to have a pint not listening to his wife Kates advice because there was a storm brewing and he got drunk and shouted at some people who then chased him. Verse 15 and 16 i figured out some translations e.g: The piper louder and louder blew the dancers quicker and quicker flew( The pipers pipes got louder and louder as the dancers danced quicker and quicker.) Now Tam O Tam had thae been queens A plump and strapping in their teens( Now Tam O Tam will they ever be queens now all plump and gloomy in their teens.) Thir breeks o mine ma only pair that once were plush o gude blue hair (Those trousers of mine my only clean pair that once were rich blue in colur like fresh dyed blue hair.)

In PE we have been doing hand ball. I like to do this for PE because it is very competitive and I like working in a team.

We’ve also been doing more health and we are looking at what it means to do green exercise. All this means is to do exercise outside, like going on the trampoline or riding a bike.

Over the last few weeks we have been working hard to prepare and practice for our school show. We have loved learning about the 1960s and have been able to share our research with one another through our projects.

We have been working hard with primar 6/7 to learn about our decade and listen to some great songs from that time! We are so excited for the show and I hope you enjoy finding out all about the 60s.

Enjoy the show!

Miss Thomson and Primary 7 🙂

This week P7 have been very busy doing different activities.

We have been doing more on our reading books and we are liking them. They are, Jammy dodgers on the run, The last wolf and The queens nose.

In Maths, we have been working more on our percentages and decimals, we have learned to count in 0.2s and we have also been working on percentages like 10% and 20%. In health and wellbeing, we have created posters for a club you go to and design one to encourage people to go to that club. In P.E, at the high school we have been practising our social dancing for our P7 dinner dance.

Finally, P7 have been getting ready for Christmas, we have made decorations and we open a chocolate advent calendar in class every day up until the holidays!
