POLO DAY

Today we have powered down and all enjoyed a full day of outdoor learning. We have created some impressive mud art, worked as a team to problem slove, carried out a scavanger hunt and used our findings to create a nature display in a box. We also searched for mini beasts and studied them closely using a magnifying glasses.

Here are some pictures of our day.

We had a great time to day learning outdoors. Have a look at our pictures below.

 

French

This week we were doing French naming  some countries and being recorded by the IPad, the teacher pointed to a country and we had to tell her the compass location from France, in French. We also had to tell her where the members of the Simpson family where in France. It was good fun.

Another busy week in Primary 7a

This week we have been learning about angles during our maths lesson, we have been learning to identify and name angles, use a protractor to find the size of an angle and we have also learned to calculate the size of an angle.

In literacy we are continuing to work with our reading books in class, we are focusing on identifying descriptive languages and selecting the main ideas from the text.

During IDL time we are continuing to learn more about the Rainforests of the world. We have also been producing artwork around this theme.

In P.E. We have moved form dance to gymnastics.

This week our class Dojo winner is Callum Reddock.

Our four capacities certificate was awarded to Erin Gray for being a Confident Individual.

Saturday Night Fever

As part of our learning in dance we took a trip back to the 70’s to learn the Saturday Night Fever dance routine. It was great fun!

I really enjoyed P.E. this week because it was different and fun and everybody liked it and we were using sideway movements and forward movements and we danced to the beat.

This week we were learning about Rainforests and and why they are important. I especially enjoyed learning about the different layers of the rainforest I also found out that rainforests are home to about half of the worlds species.I liked this subject and would like to research further in the future.

Our R.M.E. Topic

This week in R.M.E. we sat in a circle and talked about our Divided City topic and Sectarianism. We wrote down the alphabet on Mrs Patrick’s whiteboard and thought of a word for each letter that would describe Sectarianism. We talked about different football club rivalries and what it causes, we also talked about racism and the outcome of what happens over it.

We thought his was a good way of learning and really enjoyed it.It also helped us understand the way people feel when this happens.

R.M.E

During R.M.E in class, our learning has been based on Sectarianism. Sectarianism is really fights and or arguments caused by religion. It is usually linked with Celtic and Rangers, Catholics and Protestants even though they share the common belief of Christianity.

-Here is a little Definition- Sectarianism

“Narrow minded beliefs that lead to prejudice, discrimination, malice and ill will towards members or presumed members of a religious denomination” -Nil By Mouth.                             By Max Hunter!
