We have been learning about energy generation and storage.
Renewables
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about renewable energy. We have been outdoors sampling wind and sunshine, trying to decide where solar energy and wind power would work best, around our school. The weather hasn’t always been kind but we have always found energy in our surroundings.
Art Lesson
In Art p7 have been using LINE to draw some realistic looking Vikings.
We have tried to use wavy line to help create the feeling of movement in the hair.
The details and expressions created are fantastic, Well-done P7!
Up-Helly-Aa
Primary 7 have had a brilliant day celebrating Up-Helly-Aa. We had a visit from the junior and senior jarl squad and the junior galley. P7 even organised a senior wing dance to end the day. It was lots of fun. Well done P7!
Microbit Coding
Primary 7 have been making Up-Helly-Aa pictures, forming circuits and working hard to code a light display. It was quite fiddly but lots of fun! Creativity and initiative was definitely on display!
Term 3 Curriculum Information
Welcome to Term 3. Here is our curriculum information for the term.
P7B Are Dynamite!
P7B have started this term by learning about the differences between singing in unison and singing in a round.
Singing in unison is an easier skill to master than singing in a round as everyone is singing the same thing at the same time. In round singing, we sing the same melody, but two or more people/groups start the song at a different time which means they also end at a different time.
Singing in a round produces overlapping harmonies and gives the music layers, enhancing the texture of the sound – elements of music which P7B have already learned about but are now putting into context.
Below are a couple of informative slides and also the audio file of the class singing in 4 groups which is an incredibly difficult thing to do! Not only do they need to sing accurately, in terms of pitch and melody, but they’ve also got to really focus on their listening skills as well as their sense of pulse. Well done P7B – good effort!

Below you will find some optional home learning activities.
Home Learning Grid – 5 January
Good morning and happy new year!
Below is today’s home learning grid with some activities that can be completed today. Most importantly, I hope you have lots of fun in the snow.
Art Lesson
In art P7 have been looking at the artist Jaqueline Hurely. We have tried to recreate her style using paint, charcoal, chalk and charcoal pencils. Using these materials we have focused on creating texture for the background before drawing out a silhouette image.
The final effects are beautiful, very thought provoking.
