Many fabulous cakes and biscuits were baked for the Saint Joseph’s family Bake-Off. Our Star baker was Lewis Munroe! Other winners were Rosa, Mark, Cassidy and Sam, Ellie and Kerr and Calum and Alfie. Well done to all for the terrific response and support. You helped raise £317 for school funds.
Welcome back to P7. This week we have been trying to finish off all of work so we could show it to our parents. In Literacy -we finished out Titanic Newspapers and started our ‘ Who Was To Blame’ arguments. In Maths we investigated Multiples, Factors and Primes and 3D shapes. In topic we looked at the lessons learnt from the sinking of the Titanic ; how shipping rules have been changed and how boats are much safer now. We also completed a STEM challenge where we had to design a lifejacket for a can of soup. The soup had to float for 90 seconds! In Mindfulness we though about worries and how to manage them. Phew we’ve been busy and are looking forward to our October break.
Welcome back to our blog. This week in P7 we raised lots of money for Lepra by doing a sponsored workout. We also had a very exciting day finding out about careers in Science and Engineering, and completing lots of STEM challenges at Dynamic earth. We found out lots about ‘Life on Earth’ by watching fantastic 3D movies. In Literacy we completed our Titanic newspapers and in Maths we completed an assessment on ‘Integers’ we also completed a challenge on 2D shape. We moved on with our Titanic topic and investigated why the Titanic hit the iceberg and thought about who was to blame.
Well done to Lucas who came 3rd in the West Lothian Cross Country Interschools competition. A fantastic achievement!
Here are some examples of the wonderful Art from our Art Clubs this week!
Hi everyone, welcome back to P7. This week in Maths we investigated negative numbers. We looked at negative temperatures on thermometers, and, negative numbers in our bank balances, which would mean we were overdrawn (and in the red! ). In Topic we found out about what happened when the Titanic hit the iceberg and why so many people lost their lives. In Literacy we talked about the features of newspapers and became journalists reporting on the events that unfolded when the ‘Unsinkable Ship Sinks’ . In Art we completed our 3D perspective drawings of the Titanic. In ICT we found out how to create a Titanic watermark. We carried out research on the survivors of the tragedy and created tables with that information. We are really developing out ICT skills!
Welcome back to P7, this has been a short week but we’ve been busy… We’ve had great fun creating 3D perspective pencil drawings of the Titanic. We’ve also used our engineering skills to start working on 3D models . We used design skills to create 3D cabins. In Maths we revised 2D shapes and worked on multiplication of 4 and 5 digit numbers by multiples of 10,100 and 1,000. In Literacy we completed our Fact Files on the crew and passengers of the Titanic. We had our first shiny Friday. Some of us helped younger pupils develop their coding skills.
Here are some great pictures from the Art Club, this week we investigated the artist Modigliani.
This week in Primary 7 it has been Big Maths Week , we have been working on how to multiply 4 and 5 digit numbers by multiples of 10,100 and 1,000. We have worked on our 8 times tables and tried to beat our Big Maths scores. We have taken part in the Sum Dog Bigh Maths Challenge. We have applied our problem solving skills by completing a STEM challenge to find out if we could make a boat from tin foil to hold at least 35 marbles! We had great fun designing boats and finding out how many marbles they would hold. We then weighed our boat and out boat with the marbles to find out the weight capacity of our design! We then wrote up our experiment using scientific language and investigated the science behind floating and sinking. we found out it had a lot do with mass and density. In Writing we continued with our Titanic Fact files. In Topic we investigated life on board the Titanic. Some of us started a technology challenge to create 3D cabins. In Art we investigated the work of Modigliani and created a self- portrait in the same style. Finally w
e prepared a performance and a video for Mrs Wilson’s assembly and sadly we had to say goodbye to our lovely PT after 10 years! we wish her great luck in the future.
