Our first task was to make geodesic domes using only cocktail sticks and jelly tots! We worked hard to cut the cocktail sticks to size and start to build up our domes. We learnt that geodesic domes are really strong structures made up of interlocking triangles. The pictures show our progress so far!

Primary 7 have had many opportunities this term to learn in a variety of environments. Here are some of our highlights.
We took part in a Dragons’ Den project with West Lothian College. This involved us designing our own products, making prototypes and designing business plans. We also developed our teamwork and presentation skills.
We have also been learning lots of interesting facts about space and our solar system and having interesting debates about the moon landing and life on other planets. Primary 7 also put lots of effort into their homework projects. We had model rockets, planet factfiles, posters, stories and Angeline even made a planet-themed cake! We all really enjoyed eating it! We also had a fantastic trip to Dynamic Earth to learn more about the evolution of our planet.
Lots of P7s also had a fantastic week at camp. They learnt to be more independent and challenge themselves to take part in lots of activities! Some of their favourite activities included rock climbing, abseiling, archery, giant swing and trapeze. The children were very mature and behaved very well for the entire week. They enjoyed eating new foods and sharing rooms with their friends. It was a fantastic week.
Primary 7 have had a great term and we are looking forward to our final term after Easter! Have a lovely holiday!
