This afternoon we thought about the weapons that everyone had researched on Monday with Mrs Heggie and chose one to try and create themselves using the resources provided.
As you can see there was a great deal of sawing, and hot glueing going on but more importantly there was great teamwork and lots of creativity.
Watch this space for the finished products!
This week we were learning about:
Today was our last day of Yoga!
We discussed how Yoga was an exercise of the mind as well as the body and everyone agreed that it had a calming effect on their mind. Next week we will be visiting meditation!
Just a reminder that the next deposit of £50 is due to be paid by Monday 5th November 2012.
P7I were very fortunate to have Mrs Constadine from Whitburn Academy Science department visit them recently to explore anamorphic art.
This is the type of art that was used by followers of Bonnie Prince Charlie as a secret code to show their loyalty without visitors knowing. The use of a mirrored cup in the centre of tray would display a reflection of a picture of the Prince. If someone should have visited that you did not want to see that you believed in the Jacobite cause, then you simply removed the cup!
Here are some examples of our anamorphic art:
During both of our PE slots this week we have been exploring the benefits of yoga.
Using a Teen Yoga DVD, we chanted to ease and control our breathing before trying out some of the basic yoga positions:
Everyone seemed so calm and relaxed after the sessions, almost sleepy!
(I’m just wondering if I should start each day with some yoga 😀 )
You should have received a letter home this week, for you to return requesting an appointment for our parent consultation.
This is an important time for you and your son/daughter to come along and discuss with me how well they are coping with Primary 7, or indeed share any concerns that you may have.
I’ll look forward to seeing you when you come along.
I hope that everyone enjoyed the holiday as much as I did. It was great to have some quality family time before the dark nights are upon us once again!
Just to let you know that in class we will still be working on our Jacobites topic for the next couple of weeks, before starting our new topic about China.
We have been very fortunate to have on loan from the Bennie Museum in Bathgate, so items that they have from the 1700’s.
We had a carousel set up in the class, to work our way round exploring what we thought the items were made of, used for, who would have used them and we thought of what has replaced them nowadays.
