Primary 7

P7 enjoyed their first trip to Greenfaulds High School for transition. We participated in a science session in the labs. We learned about lab safety and got to have a go at lighting bunsen burners. In IDL we have been learning all about Mexico. This week we researched Mexican Myths and Legends and used our creative and communication skills to share what we learned. We have continued our learning in multiplication and division. This week we have been working on the speedy recall of times table facts to help as we apply this to division concepts next week.

This week P7 have started a brand new IDL topic all about Mexico. We completed Colour, Symbol, Images to share some of our prior knowledge about the country and enjoyed sharing these while moving around the room to some Mexican music. We have learned some fact and information about the country from non-fiction texts and used our glossary skills to decode the topic specific vocabulary in our e-books. This week we have also been working on narrative writing. We have been creating suspense within spooky stories using detailed descriptions of characters and setting. We know that using similes and metaphors can make our writing more interesting to draw the reader in.

Firstly, we would like to say a huge congratulations to the winners of this year’s house captain elections. It was really a close competition and we are so proud of the effort put in by everyone involved.
Throughout this week we have been busy across the curriculum. We have been using a range of mental and written methods to add and subtract in maths. We have also continued with our STEM Space Project. This week we have been working on our mapping skills and using our knowledge of the local area to create maps and diagrams of key landmarks.

The final countdown is on for next week’s house captain elections and P7 have been working hard on the last of their preparations. From speech redraft to creating campaign stickers, we can’t wait to show off our hard work next week. This week we have also started our new STEM Space topic which we are carrying out to develop our spatial reasoning skills. We built objects out of linking cubes and drew what we imagine the objects would look like from different perspectives.

Primary 7 – 5.9.25

P7 have carried on with preparations for house captain elections this week. We have been busy creating eye catching posters to display as part of our campaign. We made sure to incorporate our house colours and catchy slogans. This week we also enjoyed a busy activity day with Miss Phillips. We repurposed old clothes and recyclable materials to create new practical items and even had out own recycled fashion show.


Primary 7 – 29.8.25

This week P7 have enjoying reading their class novel ‘Wonder’. We put ourselves in the shoes of the character August and created step insides to share the thoughts, feelings and experiences of him during his first weeks of school. In maths we have been learning about place value. This week we have been working on identifying the value of digits according to their place in the number and using this to help us order and categorise seven or more digit whole numbers. House captain election preparations have also begun. We are working currently on creating catchy slogans to help us stand out from the crowd ahead of our campaigns.


First Week Back in Primary 7 

Welcome back, P7! What a brilliant first week it has been. We have truly hit the group running with maths revision and have enjoy the beginning of our model text, ‘Wonder’. This week we also discussed the leadership qualities of a house captain and are looking forward to preparing for the elections ahead of the September weekend.
