P7/6 Growth Mindsets
Primary 7/6 have been revising how important it is to have a growth mindset. We discussed the differences between a growth and fixed mindset and how having the right attitude can help you to succeed. We then painted self portraits of ourselves in the style of Picasso and wrote growth mindset statements to help us be resilient when we are finding something difficult…

P7/6 Class Charter
Primary 7/6 have also been busy designing and creating their class charter in line with the Rights of the Child in the UNCRC. To link with our Interdisciplinary theme, we chose a detective theme and worked in groups to design our charter. We also worked with a partner to read the articles of the UNCRC and had a vote to decide which articles suited our classroom the best. As a class, we then decided on what the teacher and the pupils will do in order to make sure everyone has their rights. The contract was agreed and signed by everyone in P7/6 and is displayed in our classroom for everyone to see.
P7/6 Gymnastics lesson
As part of Careers day, Beth planned and organised a gymnastics lesson for P5. It was such a success that she taught the same lesson again with her whole class. The class thoroughly enjoyed learning new skills in gymnastics whilst having great fun! 
P7/6 erupt volcanoes!
P7/6 finished making their volcanoes and painted them to make them look realistic. We then completed the ‘mentos and diet coke’ challenge to make our volcanoes erupt!
A bottle of diet coke is full of carbon dioxide (the bubbles). The bubbles stay suspended in the liquid until the bottle is opened. When mentos are dropped into a bottle of diet coke, it forms lots and lots of bubbles on the surface of the cola. When all of this gas is released it forces the liquid up and out of the bottle in a giant whooshing eruption of sticky soda, just like a volcano does!
We do not recommend you try this at home without adult supervision!
Primary 7/6 were so excited to watch our volcanoes erupt! Have a look at our pictures to see what happened…
P7/6 make paper mache volcanoes!
As part of our Natural Disasters topic, P7/6 have been looking into the different parts of a volcano and researching Volcanic eruptions. We made information leaflets about the story of Pompeii and we created 3D paper mache volcanoes. We can’t wait until they dry and we get to paint them and make them erupt!
Primary 7 and Primary 7/6 meet professional footballers!
Primary 7 and Primary 7/6 have had an exciting day meeting professional footballers from Livingston FC. They got to hold the cup and ask the footballers questions about their football background and if they had ever played Futsal before. 
Aladdin Rehearsals
Today, Primary 7, Primary 7/6 and Primary 6 performed the dress rehearsal of Aladdin Jr to the rest of the school. It was a great success and Primary 1-3 thoroughly enjoyed watching the older boys and girls on stage. They performed with such confidence and expression! We can’t wait for the real deal next week! Here are some photos of us working hard, preparing for the show…
