Welcome back to Primary 7! This week we had a vote to decide upon our first topic, we decided to start our exciting year in P7 with ‘The Unsinkable Ship’ …we talked about what we knew about the Titanic and what we wanted to learn this term. We started our first week finding out ‘How the Ship was built’ we completed lots of different challenges and chose to really push ourselves hard by trying some HOTS challenges! In Maths we looked at rounding and estimating and how significant figures can help us to  estimate things in our daily lives. In Writing we started our first imaginative story focusing on lots of descriptive language to create a character description called ‘ The Shape Shifter’, we also revised how we can peer and self assess our own work. In RE we prepared for our first school mass.  We also presented our powerpoints to others in our school to say why we wanted to be house or sports captains…we are excited to see how the vote went, when we find out at assembly on Monday!

Welcome back to P7 we hope you had a lovely long summer and had time to enjoy the great weather ! We are settling well into our new class – We revised  ‘Children’s Rights and completed lots of ‘Rights’ Challenges. We worked in groups to discuss our class rules, and we created ‘Our Class Charter’. We  set our ‘Goals for the year’. We found out how to use  ICT to create tables and graphs and use these skills to complete different challenges. We revised Place Value in Maths. We helped our P1 buddies settle in to school!  We also started our applications for House Captains, Football Captain, Netball Captain and Sports Captain. We are very excited about the year ahead!

Welcome back to our class blog. We have had a busy week. Lots of us were on transition at different schools this week! We had a great time. Those of us in school were helping hands for Gala day preparations. We also created our own 3D guitars. On Thursday we had our Leavers disco .

We are all very tired because we put on our Rockstar performance on Tuseday night at school and then our Rockband performance on Wednesday night at the Howden park Centre. We were all very nervous but we really enjoyed singing the songs and playing the keyboard, guitar and drums for a live audience! Well done to Pip who won the Scottish Book Trust award and the Young Writer of the year awards with her poem ‘Ma Grandad’. Some of us went tot St. Kent’s for our transition and we loved it, we can’t wait to move up now! We finished all of our ‘Transition’ work and then we created our own ‘Pop Art’ pictures.
