Miss Wallace and P7 invite you to share in their learning.
on Thursday p7 had there Christmas party. We had so much fun and we played lots of games and done a lot of dances. We played pass the parcel, Christmas corners and musical arms. We also done the circle dance, the Virginia reel, dashing white sargents, cha cha slide, the slosh and the Macarena. We all had lots of fun dancing and playing and are sad that it is our last Christmas party in primary school.
here are some pictures from the party.

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!

This week we have been learning all about Andy Warhol. He was a famous artist during the 1960s. He created a type of art called, “Pop Art”. This involves recreating the same images a number of times in a variety of colours. Some of his famous paintings are of a Campbell’s soup can, Marlyn Munro, Mickey Mouse  and a Coca Cola can.
We created our own Pop Art, some using paint and some with pastels and pens. Have a look at our creations!
This week we have started a new topic called the 1960s this is a build up till Christmas because we are performing a show for the schools 50th anniversary. We have joined up with the primary 6/7 class to do this. We have already made a timeline about some things that happened in the 60s. We have found out that the Beatles were formed and there was a new cola invented that is called tab cola this was invented by the people who make co-ca cola .
Cole- I never knew the fashion would be as fancy.
Erin- I would like to look into the world wars further during the 1960s.
Bethany L- I liked finding out the first James Bond film.
Gregor- In 1962 the actor for James Bond was Sean Connery
Yesterday we went on our school trip to the science centre. First we went to the planetarium to see the solar system and beyond. We realised how big the universe really was there are over 1,000000000000 galaxies. When we were sitting in the seats it felt like we were moving. We learned about the constellations. Here are some: the big dipper, Orion the hunter, 7 sisters and Taurus.
Then we got a chance to explore the 3 floors. Most of the class enjoyed the hamster wheel we also got to try lots of tests. For example we tried electric cars, how fast can you run, how long you can hold on, we even tried a calmness test.
We had a great day and got to spend the whole day exploring and learning. Have a look at our photographs!
These are the things that we enjoyed the most:
Aimee: I enjoyed going on the hamster wheel
Jack: I enjoyed the sprinting
Leah: I enjoyed learning new information
Ross: I enjoyed hanging on to the bars
Orla : I enjoyed the planetarium
