P7 took a 3 hour trip to Oban with no wifi for 4 days but no wifi was worth it. P7 done 6 activities, we were split into four different groups and there was a lot of teamwork involved and the activities were coasteering, climbing and abseiling, canoeing and bush craft and gorge walking  and archery p.s gorge walking was super duper cold.

We just started looking at the Scottish election and we learned about all the different parties. SNP won in our constituency. We also learned about manifestos and we read the manifestos of Scotland’s main political parties. we wrote our own manifestos detailing the changes we would like to make in Scotland.

We have also been learning about debating and have held some class debates on interesting issues. Next week we are going to be learning about the EU referendum and write a speech to read during our class debate.

In writing we have been learning how to edit and re-draft our writing. We had a challenge to write a mini-saga. We had to write a short story with a beginning, middle and end. We then had to use our editing skills to cut our story down to only fifty words. The story still had to make sense and we had to check our spelling and grammar. We found it quite challenging.

See you next week!
