Welcome back to our blog! This week in Primary 7
It has been a little quieter in school this week after such a busy time last week. Our highlights of the week include:
Primary 2 have had a fantastic Health Week! Thanks to Mrs Telfer and the HWB Committee for organising such great activities! We loved taking part in Boot Camp, Sport’s Day, Enjoy-a-ball, dance and Martial Arts. We also learned lots from the police, the ambulance service, the RNLI and Mr Godley our local Podiatrist!
What an amazing week we have had; we have had such a wonderful time participating in new activities and having talks from various visitors.
No better way to start our week than a ‘Boot camp’ during which we were all made to do a range of activities that were hard work but fun.
We had a talk from the RNLI who informed us all about the need to stay safe around water and the incredible job that the RNLI do keeping people safe, as well as the police and Mr Godley who explained the importance of keeping our feet healthy!!
Our sports day was lots of fun and we all enjoyed taking part in the races and activities around the field.
We were privileged to witness not one but two osprey chicks hatch, we are wishing the third the best and hope that we come back to school to see three chicks all safe and healthy.
We took part in golf, dance and Taekweon-do, seeing how much fun each of the sports is.
It has been a great week and we enjoyed every opportunity we were given.
P5
Hi all, we have had a great week in P7 ….taking part in lots of sporting activities.
We started off our week with Boot Camp which was very tough! We also had a visit from the ‘Police’ to tell us a bot about their job. We had Sports Day on Tuesday and a visit from the RNLI to talk about water safety. We also played Netball, Football , Rounders and Martial Arts, but out favourite was Boogie Bounce! It has been a great week at St. Joes’s !
It’s been Health Week this week and we have had a fantastic time. Our highlights of the week include:
This week the P6 group watered their wheat – all growing nicely! – and replanted some nasturtiums and marigolds which had self-seeded in one of the wheat beds – these can be reused in our physic garden or in the P3’s wellbeing and wildlife garden. The class had researched plants for our physic garden and have come up with some interesting choices! We planted some seeds from the first plant on their list this week – liquorice!
Hello from Primary 7…. this week:
This week we have been investigating sounds as we prepare to make our very own instrument. We have been looking at what materials are used to make different instruments as well as which part of the instrument actually makes the sound.
We carried out a scientific investigation to discover which material is best to insulate sounds. We had to use a decibel meter to measure how loud the alarm was when wrapped in various materials. We are surprised that the bubble wrap worked best.
Mr Reed created a bell using a metal coat hanger and string, this sounded as loud as the school bell!!
In preparation for our next big write, we have been choosing which animal we will be writing about as we create our own version of Dick King Smith’s The Water Horse.
During our maths we have been reinforcing our understanding of division using known facts and the bust stop method to solve questions with larger numbers.
We have been watching the Osprey nest every day as we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the chicks, the first is due to hatch early next week.
We enjoyed our games sessions this week, we were playing ball games in small teams.
We are really looking forward to next week and taking part in all our health and well being activities.
