As part of our Bridges topic, we were experimenting with building suspension bridges.  We first built a beam bridge and tested how much weight it could stand and then we converted it into a suspension bridge.  We discovered that the bridge supports much more weight due to the extra support and the balancing of the forces, namely tension and compression.

On Thursday 29th November, the P7s went to the High School for a morning of activities as part of their transition.   It was based on Health and Wellbeing.  One session was linked to resilience and perseverance, another was in the Home Economics Department where P7s were finding out what HE would involve in their first year and the other session was PE where the pupils played a great game of longball.

The P7s really enjoyed the morning and they are looking forward to High School very much.

P7C had great fun learning the vocabulary for classroom furniture and prepositions and adding this to their previously learned knowledge of numbers, they produced, in teams, some great video tours of the classroom.  Their pronunciation has come on in leaps and bounds.  Well done P7C.

Videos to follow (once I can change the size of them!!).

On Friday  9th November, P7C gave a moving presentation on the Story of the Poppy.  They produced some amazing artwork and spoke in very clear and audible voices.

This week the P4s came to visit the P7s who shared their learning within ICT.   The P7s were showing off their core programming language skills through the creation of computer games.  The P4s played the games and gave feedback based on 2 stars and a wish.  The ‘wish’ was then incorporated into the game and the new improved games were played.  It was a very enjoyable experience for all and we look forward to working with the P4s again.
