Most of Primary 7/6 were set a homework task of Creative Captain for their reading novels this week.
The effort by all was outstanding! Here are some examples of the models that were made…

P7-6 – 2 Stars and a Wish
1st Star – Performing on front of each other and listening to everyone sing. We are a talented bunch!
2nd Star – Reading each other’s Space Projects and finding out what other people had to say about our own project!
Wish – To find out what the school show is going to be on this year!
P7 Creative Captains!
P7 had the task of being Creative Captains for Literacy Circles Homework. We had some amazing work, well done!
Here is a sample.
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…
Challenge Friday
All classes from P5 to P7 are taking part in Challenge Friday this year. They compete in their classes to complete different problem solving challenges each week. There is then a winning team from each class and an overall winner each week. Points are being kept and a league table is displayed with the winning points each week. Challenges so far have included creating a tower with spaghetti and marshmallows, building a strong bridge from newspaper and paper clips and creating a cup pyramid using only a ‘cup mover’.
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.
Bathgate Procession
Many thanks to Gwen Lynch and her team for yet another wonderful float !
Also thanks to all the children, their families and staff who walked in pouring rain – you were just fantastic and we really appreciate your efforts.
I don’t think I have ever been so wet !!!
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! 
Boghall’s New Football Strips
Boghall football team felt very proud yesterday wearing their new strips at the final festival of the year at Bathgate Thistle’s Creamery Park. They look very smart! Well done to St Marys for winning the league trophy.
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…
