Week beginning 31.3.25
P6/7 have been making the most of our final week of term 3. This week we said ‘mars sin leat’ to Mr Wilson who has been teaching our P7 pupils gaelic this year. We have made the most of the beautiful weather, taking our learning and brain breaks outside. This week in maths we have been measuring and drawing angles using a protractor. We also enjoyed our media study, ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and some of us even began exploring ‘BGE English’ activities in preparation for high school. We hope everyone has a brilliant spring break and look forward to a busy final term full of lots of learning and fun.
Week beginning 24.3.25
P6/7 have started learning about angles this week in maths. We can measure a variety of angles using a protractor and describe them according to their size. We enjoyed getting active this week playing a new sport called Boccia which required us to consider our knowledge of accuracy, force and strategy to gain the most points for our team. This week, we have also continued with our IDL topic all about Colombia where we compared the geography of the country with that of Scotland. We would also like to say a huge well done to our team of dancers who took part in the North Lanarkshire Dance Mania competition.
17.3.25
P6/7 have been really challenging themselves this week in maths. We have been learning to solve for ‘x’ in algebra and developing our problem solving skills using the ‘draw it out’ strategy. Through our IDL learning we have been developing our playful skills including creativity, teamwork and employability. Check out some of our wonderful drawings of Colombia’s national flower, the orchid. Lastly, in writing we are learning about information reports. This week we have been focussing on recording facts and information in our own words. We practised using a thesaurus to find synonyms to help us is with this before writing reports about a famous person of our choosing.
10.3.25
P6/7 have had a busy week. We have started our new Colombia topic. We have been learning lots about the geography of the country and the many different traditions which are followed there. In art we have continued our learning about tone and have been using the skills we are learning to make our drawings look 3D. In maths we continue to challenge ourselves as we learn about algebra and even celebrated Pi Day.

This week in P7…
Throughout this week, P6/7 have been working together to complete problem solving tasks using the create a picture or diagram strategy. We have also started new maths topic focussing on Expressions and Equations which we are finding tricky but lots of fun. Finally, as part of World Book Day joy, we have created our own corner bookmarks to make sure we don’t lose our page during our daily ERIC time.

Golden Book, December 2024
It was great to spend time today with this excellent bunch listening to their adventures at Fordell Firs and the enterprising activities for the Christmas fayre. We chatted all about marketing, profits, sustainability and hard work. They all recommend the residential trip and it was music to my ears that NOBODY missed technology. Great job!
Golden Book, October 2024
Miss R had a fabulous time with a group of Primary 7 Golden Bookers, some of which are also our new House Captains! They shared the election campaign experience and their knowledge of the Scottish Parliament. It’s safe to say that Ravenswood are in good hands with this bunch!
