The Bens IDL Showcase

It was that time of the term again for P7!

When they came together to show off all the work and learning they have been doing during their IDL projects!

This term, we used Mural to collaborate and find out our areas of interest. We then tried to group them together to come up with an over arching topic. This term it was: Global Conflict.

See our work and planning here. 

We spent 6 weeks learning about the following sub-topics:

World Leaders

Global Politics and Governments

Human Rights

Wars Throughout History

How the Media talks about conflict

 

To Assess, we created a Rubric together, so we knew what we had to do to be successful:

 

Last Thursday, the big event happened and we invited Primary 4-6 clans to the Discovery Den to see what we had achieved. Here is some of our feedback:

“For each and everyone I really liked how much time you put into this and how much you knew and I can’t believe how much is happening in our lives and I can’t believe it is true. I can’t wait until the next showcase.” – Harlen
“It was amazingly awesome” – Rory
“I really liked the science parts that you put in and you knew so much and I can’t wait to ask my brother more at home!” – Amel 
“I loved the torture game, I tortured Yuvi!” – Lewis
“I really liked it because there was so many details – like Arabic. In the torture game I liked how there was pictures” – Sara
“I loved the food!” – Kira W

Ben Lawers and Ben Lomond- West Lothian Sportshall Athletics Competition

On Wednesday 1st November, we attended the West Lothian Sportshall Athletics Competition at Craigswood Sports Centre. We took part in a number of different track and field events, competing against other Primary 7’s in the authority. The Bens put in a tremendous effort and showed resilience and sportsmanship!

Maths Week Scotland – F1 Data for our Clans

The children in Ben Lomond and Ben Lawers, Thistle and Schiehallion and Bluebell and Bramble were given the exciting task of reading, sorting and analysing data with Formula 1 as a focal point. Through a series of rounds the children competed in groups against one another to gain points – these points then propelled them around the racetrack (or sent them off the track!).

Massive thank you to the University of Edinburgh and their F1 Data in Schools team for this support.

Ultimately this led to one team’s vistory for their year group!

See the photos of all their fun below:
