P7 have been working hard on listening and talking this term. This week the class presented well researched talks on different natural diasters. It was great to see everyone showcasing their digital presentation skills.

Panto!
Well done to Primary 7 who were outstanding in their performance of Cinderella! Thanks to everyone who donated raffle prizes and helped with the show. Primary 7 really enjoyed performing for their families and for the school.
Thank you.
Digital Skills
This week Primary 7 have been developing their coding skills. We coded our Microbits to make seismometers. We were able to measure how much the paper plates were shaking, mimicking and earthquake.
Snowy Fun!
This week we have been enjoying the snowy days!
Recently we have been learning the properties of different types of triangles so we had a go at making them in the snow.
Children in Need
Our enterprising P7s have excelled themselves this year, organising two days worth of fun packed activities for the whole school.
Well done you have managed to raise £552.23 for Children in Need.
Term 2 Curricular Information
Glasgow Science Centre
To start of term 2 we had a fantastic visit from the Glasgow Science Centre. Pupils learned all about castles and finished with a crime scene workshop which focused on pupils collaborating to solve the mystery of skeletons found in Stirling Castle!
Shetland Colours
This week we had a go at creating our own paint from plant pigments. We were interested in how we could try to make some of the traditional colours that were available in Shetland for dyes. We had a go at making some Shetland ganzies for Wool Week, using colours from around our school. One group even tried dyeing some wool. It was a success!
Maths Week
This week is Maths Week Scotland and we will be doing lots of different numeracy activities to celebrate.
Today we have been practising finding factors of different numbers and have had fun identifying prime and square numbers. Learners can have a go at this activity at home, using their Number Notions packs.
Plant Pigments
We have been learning about how plants have benefitted us throughout history and still do today.
One way that plants have traditionally been used for is for dye. We experimented by making pictures with lots of natural pigments from around the school.
