P7 Titanic Homework

Leave a comment

This term we have been absolutely overwhelmed and delighted with the effort that the P7 pupils have put into their Titanic homework.

Pupils have been busy at home making items such as cardboard models, restaurant menus, outfit and jewellery designs, online games and animations, documentaries, paintings and Minecraft models.  Some have also made steak dinners  and baked cakes.  This year we have even had a crocheted Titanic!

This year’s display has had many lovely comments from staff and pupils.  During lunchtime and break time it is hard to walk past the display without seeing someone who has stopped to look at it.

The variety and standard of their homework is a testament to their conscientious attitude and their wonderful skills and talents.

We would also like to thank parents and carers for their support with this homework.  It has been very apparent that the pupils have enjoyed spending time with family members and friends to produce their pieces of work.

 

P7S Climate Poetry Winners

Leave a comment

As part of their topic on Climate, P7S took part in a poerty competition run by the Church of Scotland.  Pupils were asked to write a poem to reflect their feelings about the climate emergency and the impact it is having on the world.  The quality of work produced was outstanding and it was obvious to see that pupils had a lot of knowledge about climate change and COP26 and had strong feelings about these events.

Three winners in the 9-12 age group were selected and they were all from P7S!  The winners were Willow, Josie & Findlay.  They were invited along to a Climate Service at the Church of Scotland in Lerwick where Willow read out the poems.

A huge well done to Willow, Findlay & Josie!

Watch the videos below to listen to the winning entries.  Thanks to the Church of Scotland and David and Kate Grieve for producing the videos.

P7 CWGC visitor

This afternoon P7 had a visit from Patricia Keppie who works for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission are responsible for maintaining the war graves and cemeteries in this country and abroad. The pupils were very interested in the topic and it built on previous learning from our WW2 topic.

 

STEM Challenge

Today in P7S we took part in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) challenge relating to our class novel ‘Holes’ by Louis  Sachar.

In groups, we had to design and create a free standing hammock out of junk and craft materials which would hold a duplo character. We also tested them to failure to see how much weight they would hold – the winner could hold a staggering 750kg!
