First Day on Camp 2018
Hi everyone we travelled down to Barcaple in Dumfries our school camp. The journey took about 2 1/2 hrs and everyone had a great time on the bus. We found our dorms and settled in. We had lunch and then our first activity which was ‘Mountain Biking’ for the Blue Group and the ‘Challenge Course’ for the Purple Group. We are having a fantastic time so far. Here are some pictures of our day!
Gardening Gang
First gardening gang update in a while!
With the sun finally shining, we’re getting back out into the garden! P3 have entered a Burgh Beautiful competition and will be planting in the large tyre opposite their classroom against the fence so it would be really appreciated if children (and grown-ups!) would not sit/walk/climb on the tyre or the soil, or else the new plants will get all squished. P3 will be creating a wellbeing and wildlife garden and the children had some great ideas what sort of flowers to plant – we’ll be getting started with some seeds soon. As you can see from the pics, it has a notice on it and a sort of willow guard to discourage trampling!
We’ve also scattered wildflower seeds over the muddy bank behind the two Norway maples (along from the back of the Rose club) – we had a large box given to us from Burgh Beautiful and we added some more. Bit of an experiment but we’ll see how it works!
Week Beginning the 16th April 2018
Thank you for visiting our Primary 7 blog.
This week :
In Literacy – We created our own piece of writing for the Young Writer competition. Lots of people chose to write a poem using Scots dialect. Katy Murray definitely had the best accent when reading the poems!
In Maths – me used our knowledge of scale to calculate distances on maps. We also investigated 12 and 24 hr time problems.
In Topic – We chose a Japanese recipe and wrote it out together with pictures. We also investigated the history of green tea.
In Art – We completed our cherry blossom pencil shaded pictures and created a ‘Great Wave’ picture in the same style as the Japanese Artist Hokasai.
We are very excited about camp next week.
