Today we harvested the rest of our onions.

On Friday, we are going to be cooking French Onion Soup with them.

We are also harvesting brambles from the local area and freezing them. When we have enough, we are going to make Bramble Jam.

 This morning in language , we were learning about how to mix our questions with our answers. We were all given a task , either  to practice reading our books or answer certain questions. After a little while, an arithmetic  teacher called Mrs Kieth came in for about half an hour to teach us about what our five core skills (see below) mean to us.  Our core skills  for learning are creative thinking 🤔, working with others 👫, self management 🙋🏽‍♀️, enquiring and problem solving 🤷🏽‍♀️ and communicating 📝.

Then, after break , we did some maths 🧮.  We were learning about place value which means the value of the digits depending on which place they are in.

After lunch we had assembly.

Once we went back to class we split into teams of 6 and tried to build a tower with blocks.  This tower had to be able to support a dictionary.  Here are some pictures below🗼

We have had an excellent first week in Primary 7. WE have been focusing on team building this week and building a good attitude towards work, learning and coming to school.

We have explored all the different aspects of our lives that we develop at school and how these will help us in the future.

We have also worked hard on developing our resilience and not quitting.

The gardening areas and the front of the school have been growing like mad over the summer so we tidied them up today ready for new plants and flowers to be planted.

Here are some pictures of before, during and after

Have a great weekend!

In ICT, we are learning to improve our typing skills

Two things help us with this:

1. using two hands
2. learning where the keys are

Here are some great games to help you learn this

Today we were back to school. YAAAAY!

We had one main focus today which was to learn to interact with each other so that we can make a good team. A team which is efficient and effective.

One way to make sure you have a good team is to be respectful, include everyone, support each other, plan, choose different roles. Jordan C says join in. Let other people have their own ideas.
