Here are the highlights that Primary 7 have chosen to blog about.
We all had lots of fun teaching our buddies Spanish.
” I really enjoyed it because the buddies looked like they were having fun.” Nicole
“I liked when they showed us the game they had been learning, it was like what’s the time Mr Fox” Kirsten

As part of our World War 2 topic we have been researching the following: Rationing, Women in the War, Scotland’s Blitz, Home guard, Anne Frank and Evacuation.

In Number talks we have been concentrating on the following strategies: partitioning, adjusting, landmark numbers, making tens, near doubles and compensation.

In RME we have been learning about the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We have been comparing their accounts of events in the Bible.

We have been learning how to write a parody.

In Maths we have been working with factors. A factor is a number that can be divided into another number with no remainders. Next week we are going to look at Prime Numbers. We also learned the rules of divisibility. Some of us tested our parents on this! We are enjoying chanting in the counting choir.

In Music we have been learning the recorder with Mrs Steele. Some of us took part in Mr Bruce’s Chanter workshop. We are proud of Finlay who has just started playing in the West Lothian School’s Pipe band.

We are continuing to look at the artworks of Kandinsky and we have enjoyed recreating our own pieces of art in the same style.

P7B are really enjoying their class novel Nemesis by Catherine Macphail. There is lots of mystery and lots of twists in the story so far. It is keeping us on the edge of our seats!!!!
” I like it because it has lots of suspense.” Caitlin
” I like it because there are lots of wow words in it.” Ellie
” I like it because it is an interesting and determining story” Jack

P7A are reading Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. This has been highly recommended by Caleb Heather.
“It’s a wee bit mysterious because we don’t know who is behind the mask…..yet.” Jamie
“It’s a very interesting read.” Nicole.

P7 boys took part in football trials for the school team this week. The first tournament is this afternoon at the Albyn. Good Luck Boys!

We are ending the week by helping out at the P1 Macmillan Coffee morning.
