Pupil Council Elections

October 10, 2025 Mrs Smith Leave a comment

This week, we held our Pupil Council Elections. The class have been learning about Democracy with Mrs Henderson so having the elections at the same time was a great way to put what they’ve learned about, into action!

Over the past few weeks, the class have prepared for the day by making voting slips, making a ballot box and private voting area. Those not involved in speeches were assigned different roles on the day.

The pupils standing for election all prepared their speeches at home. These were delivered with confidence and enthusiasm! Well done to all!

The P6 pupils all prepared and ready to speak to the voting public!

The P7s had a slightly longer wait to deliver their speeches but put in a great effort too!

When the speeches were done, the voting started!

The votes were counted by Dylan and Lucille and they were able to congratulate Alec and Lauren who are our P7 Pupil Council representatives and Archie and Callum who will act on behalf of the P6 pupils.

Well done to all involved!

That’s been a quick term! Happy October holidays one and all!

Numeracy

September 27, 2025 Mrs Smith Leave a comment

This term has seen us working on the topic of Place Value, Rounding and Estimation. Today, we added in some Information Handling work into our Rounding lessons and revisited how we use Venn Diagrams to organise information.

The children were given labels for each part of their Venn Diagram. They then had to create the numbers to go in each section, remembering to include those that fit both categories and those that fit none!

We then checked each other’s calculations and some pupils had time to create their own labels and numbers at the end of the lesson.

Pond Maintenance

September 8, 2025 Mrs Henderson Leave a comment

Primary 7s have been busy clearing out the pond in our school nature garden. When we first arrived, we weren’t sure if there was a pond in there – it was so overgrown!

Everyone got straight to work. It wasn’t long before we began to see lots of frogs appearing to take a look at what we were up to.

Some pupils are very keen to get right in the middle of the action. We are wondering if we should try to measure how much water comes out of their wellies each week, when it is time to head back to class!

We are enjoying our pond visits and finding out how we can improve this area, so that the frogs continue to thrive and return year after year. Some special plants and bugs have been kindly donated, to help breathe new life into our pond.

This afternoon we finished off our models and what a great job everyone has done. Lots of imagination has gone into all the different designs .

Well done P7s.

Electricity

Today we started to find out about electricity. We used the equipment that Ms Scanlan received from her SSERC science training last year. We found out about how circuits work, so that we could light a lamp and we found out about electrons.

Here are some of the circuits that we made.

On 6th November, Emma Chittick came to P7 to start our renewable energy topic. We talked about the difference between renewable and non renewable energy, saw how turbines generate energy and were given the equipment to make our own turbines.
