Primary 7b worked hard yesterday creating images of the planets for our wall display. They worked well co-operatively and I was so impressed with their work. Have a look at the finished outcome!

This morning Primary 7 went outside to get some ideas for their writing. They are writing a poem about Springtime and all the things you might see, hear, feel and smell in this season. The children were able to walk around the playground, looking for ideas and writing down great description for them before beginning their poems.

This morning, P7b are completing tasks linked to their novel studies. We have pair reading assessments, metalinguistics and summary activities. Alongside this, some children are completing spelling tasks or beginning/middle/end worksheets about chapters in their book.

Primary 7b created their own images of the solar system. They used black card and bright coloured oil pastels to draw the planets. They also used star stickers and gold card to create stars for their pictures. They look fab on display!

We also had a P1 boy who came to our class to complete the activity as he loves learning about space!

Some of our P7’s continued with their Bikeability course yesterday. They were able to go out into the streets surrounding the school and practise their manoeuvres.

They used Barrie Place and Backbrae street and were practising signalling, turning and overtaking parked cars.

Next week they will go out to do a 4 mile lead cycle to finish their training.

Primary 7B have begun their new novel studies. They will be enhancing their knowledge of the 6 reading strategies whilst reading them. Each individual in each group created their own version of front covers for their new novel. Have a look at their designs compared to the originals!

Primary 7 began their second session for Bikeability yesterday. They are practising what it would be like cycling on real roads as this is something they will be doing in May. Here are some pictures from the session yesterday.

Before the Easter holidays, primary 7 visited Summerlee for a World War 2 workshop. The children got a chance to look in the cottages, go down the mines and also have a play in the park! In the afternoon, they participated in a variety of activities linked to World War 2. They even got the chance to dress up! Here are some photographs from our great trip.

P7b have been working incredibly hard at home to create some 3D air raid shelters, similar to the ones in World War 2. I am so impressed with all their designs!

They were given a brief to ensure the shelters were waterproof, could hold a 1kg weight on top of them and could fit a lego man inside. All children met this criteria and we now have a fantastic display outside our classroom. Well done boys and girls!
