Today we highlighted useful information on the printouts of our chosen websites.
We had great fun using the highlighters creating very colourful pages of useful information.

Deer Park Bowling Trip
Both Primary 7 classes had an amazing time during their end of year treat to Deer Park bowling.
It was fantastic to hear such a supportive atmosphere amongst the pupils as they cheered one another on and offered support and advice on how to get a ‘strike’.
The overall winner of the bowling competition was Rebecca Wood – Well Done Rebecca!
After all their hard work there was time for a tasty lunch before heading back to school.
Welcome Back!
I hope that you have all had a good rest over the holdiays and have not been partying too much!
This term we will be finishing off some of our China work and then beginning on our adventure with a Michael Morpurgo classic!
I am looking forward to transforming our minds and our classroom on our voyage!
Volume Day
Today during Maths we were learning about volume and capacity.
We had 3 learning stations to move around and show our understanding of the work.
Station 1 – How much water?
After we solved the problem of leaking tubs, everyone had a chance to estimate the capacity of each of the containers, before we calculated the actual volume of water that they each could hold.
Station 2 – Real Life Problem Solving on the Laptops
Our Active Maths resource has a very good programme available on our laptops that allows pupils to make calculations and decision based on their learning, and it then allows them to evaluate the benefits or consequences of their decisions.
Today we looked at ‘Water Use’, where we had to decide how to use water in the given family’s home. Our mission was to keep members of the family happy whilst using water as efficiently as we could.
Station 3 – Textbook Re-enforcement

Where in the world is China?
P7I had a look at this map of the world and coloured in where they thought that you would find China.
We will now be looking more closely at where you would find rivers, mountains and important cities in China using an Atlas to update our own maps.
What we have learned about the Jacobites…

Four Nations Maths Challenge
Well done P7I for your efforts both in school and at home in making us the 7th best Scottish class in the competition!
Handwriting
Our handwriting this term is about writing at speed!
The challenges began with pencils and hands on the table, ready to start writing after the countdown!
Weapon making!
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!
