Bikeability 1 complete

All children who took participated in the first part of bike ability 1 have passed the course. They had their final session with Robert today and the children all took part with enthusiasm. They will each receive a certificate and a badge for passing and one lucky person will win a goody bag for most effort put in throughout the sessions. This will be announced on Friday at assembly and the children will also receive their certificates then. Bike ability 2 will begin April 24th for the primary 7 children who want to take part. Here are some photos of our last session.

Studyladder

Primary 7b have all been signed up to Studyladder. This is a website where the children can complete interactive tasks and activities linked to all curricular areas. We have been focussing on using it in maths, in particular, money. The children have thoroughly enjoyed playing the games to earn points and also to further their knowledge and skills in different areas. This is something they can also access at home.

Bikeability

Some children in P7 have started their ‘Bikeability’ programme. Robert is coming in every Tuesday morning for next few weeks to help the children with their movement and stability on their bikes. In May the children will get a chance to go outside the school and go a road cycle.

World War 2 Leaders

Primary 7b have been looking at the main leaders in World War 2. They have researched their role in the war and created their own life sized images. They enjoyed working co-operatively doing this and their finished work is excellent! Here are some pictures of their working progress.

World War 2 Evacuees

Primary 7b have been learning about Evacuation in World War 2. They looked at a PowerPoint on child evacuees and then determined the items they would take in their suitcase if they were evacuated. They also created their own images of evacuated children and how they would have looked back in 1940.

Scottish Dancing

Continuing with our Scottish week celebrations, Primary 7 and 6 joined together to practice some traditional Scottish dancing. After some initial nerves, the children all joined in and thoroughly enjoyed learning the moves to the gay gordons, the Canadian barn dance and the dashing white sergeant.

Scottish Storyteller

Today marks the start of our Scottish week in St Patrick’s. This morning P7 went together to listen to Daniel tell us a few traditional Scottish stories. He told us the story of the Mermaid Bride from Orkney. The children were all very excited to hear the story and were totally enthralled when Daniel was delivering the story in such an exciting way.

At the end he performed some music on his didgeridoo, the children especially liked his beat boxing.

When returning to class, P7b used their imagination to create some visualisers linked to the story.

P7b shapes

Primary 7b have been looking at 2D and 3D shapes. Today we focussed on 2D shapes and polygons. The children looked at different shapes and discussed their properties and if they were regular or irregular polygons. They worked in their groups to complete tables identifying the shape names, what they look like and their properties. Tomorrow we will focus on 3D shapes.

P7 visit to St Maurice’s

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.
