Sky Academy P7/6L
On Friday Primary 7/6L visited the Sky Academy studios to film our own news report on a topic we find particularly important to our class. Our class sponsor an orangutan from the WWF and through our science context last term we began researching endangered animals. We created and shared persuasive presentations with our class and also the school and our parents through our class assembly. We worked in 4 teams to research and script part of a report before visiting the studios on Friday. We then finished researching and writing our scripts on ipads to be used as an autocue for our reporters to share in our report. We all had a role within our studio groups. Each studio had a producer, director, editor, camera person, presenter/ reporter and an eye witness or expert to share their knowledge. We reported in detail on the most endangered list, the threats to endangered animals, some species in particular and also what we can do to help. We then watched our completed report in a cinema before taking a tour of the Sky building.
World War 2 Timeline Session P7/6L
On Thursday afternoon P7/6L spent the afternoon working with Alan Hamilton in class to learn more about World War 2. We went through a detailed timeline of the war, beginning with the end of WW1. What was particularly fascinating was looking at a world map clearly showing the Allies, Axis and neutral countries in different colours. This clearly demonstrated the shift in power for the Allied countries throughout the war. We took part in a quiz and also looked at some artifacts from the war including jackets worn by paratroopers on D-day and also coins issued by King George to the families of soldiers lost during the war.
P3R Assembly
Many thanks to all our family and friends for coming along to join us at our assembly today.
We have been finding out all about our place in the world.
As a homework task we found out where we were born and where our parents and grandparents were born. We looked at some of the places on a world map.
Its been Scotland Love Languages week and we have been learning to say hello in different languages.
We have also been bringing in photos to show who we look like in our family and to see if we have the same hair and eye colour as our parents. We are learning about inheritance in Science. We didn’t have time to include these in our assembly so we will use them to make a class display.
We loved the story about ‘How The Animals Got Their Tails’, and have been discussing the news about the bush fires in Australia.
Well done P3R! You should all feel very proud of your performance!
P5/4C Wider Achievement
A very impressive trophy for Dancer of the Day! Well done!
World Read Aloud Day P7S
- Today is World Read Aloud Day so P7S as well as taking advantage of this in class linking our reading to our World War 2 context also decided we wanted to share our skills with P1. We had great fun reading aloud to a very appreciative younger audience.
Roman Creations in P2W
Today we had been learning even more information about the Romans. This afternoon we were lucky enough to learn about the Colosseum and had a chance to create our own.
We were set a task to create our own Colosseum using only one material from the list below:
- Building Blocks
- Lego
- Paper
- Counting Sticks
We have been focusing on teamwork over the past few weeks and we were able to show how good we are at this during the task.
Here is some of our amazing work.
We are very proud of all our hard work!

Read Aloud Day
Today is Read Aloud Day and P1 were very lucky to have primary 7 pupils read stories to them.
