Another busy week for P7. Maths Week Scotland and a visit to the Risk Factory were clear highlights for us all.

The class have been solving problems by finding patterns that help to predict further answers. Sumdog as always is a firm favourite and P7 have completed hundreds of questions each this week. An extra well done to those who managed to finish all 1000 questions.

The Risk Factory is always a hit with P7. It allows pupils to find ways to deal with risky situations like building sites or railway lines. There are 10 different scenarios to visit and it is great fun. Ask your child if they were one of several who ‘died’ by making poor decisions – some ‘died’ more than once! £20 on a railway line was apparently worth taking a risk for!

Jack – it teaches you a lot of scenarios that you could use when you are older. The volunteers teach you a lot of things as well.

Ben – It was really fun in the fire scenario. I died 3 times in the bus scenario.

Tyler – I died 3 times!

Kaitlyn – The fire scenario was really scary but fun.

Agota – The fire one was my favourite. I liked the railway one too.
