Today was Miss Walkingshaw’s last day in class. We will all miss her, and we wish her well. This morning she taught us how to follow instructions to construct a handmade kite. We then went onto the field to run and try to fly them!

Future Me hub
For our Future Me hub today, we worked in teams to plan and construct the tallest tower out of the materials given to us. We had to appoint a leader, work together and reflect on the whole process.
The older pupils helped the younger pupils to identify their skills and listened to their contributions during the planning process. We discussed what we would do differently next time, what worked well and even what roles we would like if we did it again (to play to our strengths). We had a clear winner; their tower stayed standing for a full 5 minutes, towering above them! Well done to everyone who participated.
P6 and P7 girl’s football festival.
Here are a few action shots from the Girls P6 & P7 Football Festival. We had a great opportunity to learn some new skills, meet some famous female footballers and show how talented we are. What an amazing, inspirational day we all had at Livingstone football stadium.
Primary 7/6C 20th Century Timeline
We have been learning about key events from the 20th Century and beginning to build our sense of chronology by examining key historical events and changes to technology. Yesterday we engaged in a session with museum services in which we each selected an item and identified where it would come on our timeline of decades. It was clear to see how many technological advances happened throughout the century and since! Miss Conner felt very old when we examined a tape player and floppy disks and the class tried to identify their uses- how technology has changed! An excellent afternoon with a lot to learn! Can you identify the objects? Which of the 10 decades do you think it was from?
This one was the trickiest! No one could guess what it was or when it was from? When we realised it was a gas powered portable hair curler the girls were jealous we don’t have these available now!
