Primary 7a and 7b visited the Odeon cinema today at Braehead. We went along as part of the ‘GLASGOW INTO FILM FESTIVAL.’ As our topic is Beyond Space; the film gave us an insight into what is happening to our beautiful planet and how the astronauts on board the International Space Station can see the impact of fossil fuels, deforestation etc around the world.

French with Mr Bauld
Mr Bauld worked with us today. He is a French teacher from Airdrie Academy and he taught us how to say different sports in French. This was part of our P7-High School transition…we will be having lots more visits over the coming months, keep an eye out for more updates!
Super Science: The Big Explosion!
Two of the children in P7b decided they wanted to create the ‘Big Explosion.’ They used fairy liquid, bicarbonate of soda, glitter, vinegar and food colouring. Mrs Reid had a lovely smell of vinegar off her afterwards, as the bottle exploded. Have a look to see the fun we had…
RME through Drama and Technology in P7a/b
Mrs Simm’s worked with us to teach us all about the Disciples, where they came from, what they did for a living, what parts of the Bible they wrote and any letters they may have written. Mrs Simm’s taught us this through drama and making use of technology.
Tune in next week to see part 2…
A spookingly Scary Lesson from P7b

Young Scientists in Action
SUPER SCIENCE in P7b
We mixed hydrogen peroxide and yeast and then we mixed vinegar and bicarbonate of soda together. We wanted to mix 2 ingredients together to see what would happen.
Below are some of the pictures of the experiment. The excitement was fab!
Swapping Roles With The Teacher In P7b
Primary 7 wanted to swap roles with the teacher. They have taught Art, RME, Drama and PE so far. What a fantastic time they have had.
Mrs Reid, “I have been super impressed and blown away by the level of planning and creative ideas that have went into each lesson. The skills and talents that the children learn outwith school are incredible.”
Rachel, “I personally thought my lesson went very well and I think everyone enjoyed it. I did find it tricky, at times, trying to get everyone’s attention, although they were having so much fun: this was a good thing.”
