Primary 7b were learning all about St Andrew yesterday. We looked at a presentation about the life of St Andrew and why he is Scotland’s patron saint. The children then chose a partner and completed a storyboard showing what they had learned. I was very impressed with their work!
All the Primary 7’s visited St Maurice’s yesterday morning. They were joined by P7 pupils from St Michael’s, Holy Cross and St Helen’s. The children all participated in different science investigations linked to chemistry, biology and physics. All the children throughly enjoyed taking part in the activities and finding out the results of the experiments. It gave them a great insight to the type of science lessons they will get in high school.
Primary 7b have been working on their problem solving skills in maths. In pairs they designed a fireworks display, where they had to stay within a budget. They worked co-operatively to come up with the best money saving plan, although some were keen to spend it all!!
Primary 7b have been learning about Remembrance Day. They understand why we have Remembrance Day and the history of it.
They also know that November is the month of Remembrance in the church and the children have all been learning the Eternal Rest prayer. We are saying this everyday throughout the month of November and have also also chosen special people to pray for, who are no longer with us. We made poppies to symbolise this and create a special place in our classroom.
Primary 7b were getting into the Halloween mood this afternoon by making some black cats! Here are some photos of their new friends!
Primary 7b have started weight in their measurement topic in maths. Yesterday we revised what the children already knew about weight and converted between grams and kilograms. Today they were measuring various items in the classroom, including themselves!!
Primary 7b have continued with their work on length. Today they completed a maths carousel with different length activities. It was a bit of revision which they were able to complete co-operatively. 
Last week Primary 7 travelled to Holyrood in Edinburgh to visit the Scottish Parliament. They had a guided tour around parliament and added to their knowledge they already had about the topic. After the tour, Jamie Hepburn stopped by briefly to talk to the children and answer some questions. It was an informative trip and the children all had a great day.
Primary 7b are currently learning about measuring length in maths. Today we chose different areas out with our classroom to measure. We measured in mm, cm and m. We used rulers, measuring tapes, mature sticks and trundle wheels. Here are some photos of us in action.
Primary 7b have began their topic on the Scottish Parliament. We have discussed what the children know and then decided what they would like to learn and what type of activities they would like to complete in class.
We chose to have a class election and break into parties. Yesterday we chose a name and motto for our parties and started
putting our campaign posters together in our new groups. Here are some pictures of the children working co-operatively.
