Primary 7S and Primary 7/6L Home Learning Grid
Primary 7S and P7/6L,
Due to the issues we have encountered today using our class pages we are going to change the way we share your learning tasks. From Tuesday 24th March we will be using a grid (similar to your normal homework grid) for your learning for the whole week. Please complete as many activities as you can throughout the week. Do not worry if you cannot access files on Glow this is due to high levels of users therefore your learning grid will be available here on the blog and emailed out to you also. You had a jotter issued last week, feel free to do your work in your jotter instead if you wish. You can still reach your teacher on your class TEAM page.

P7/6L SSPCA Visit
This afternoon P7/6L were visited by Claire from the SSPCA. We watched a film all about the important work carried out by the SSPCA in Scotland. The SSPCA is the only animal charity who will respond to calls regarding any type of animal (domestic, wild or farm animal). We spent time learning about different animals and were fascinated by some of the facts. For example, did you know a cow can walk up a set of stairs but cannot come down? After learning facts we challenged a partner to recall them to win points. Finally we learnt about animal emotions and how our actions impact them. We used coding skills to program a story for a robot using an app on a tablet. We could control the noises, words and pictures on the screen and also movements of our animal in response to a different scenario.
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.
Primary 7/6L World War 2 Visit
Yesterday P7/6L had a fantastic visit from Maureen Liddell from the Museums Service. The children participated in a handling session of many World War 2 Artifacts like army uniforms, food and clothing ration books and children’s toys and suitcases. We learnt a lot about life on the homefront during the war brought to life through the real stories of local people who owned the items.
