As always this has been a very busy week for P7. In writing we have been trying to use high level connectives for our comparison of Japan and Scotland. We have begun to learn the many rules of netball in PE. It is quite different from other sports we love. We had a great time on Wednesday which was European Day of Languages when we had a treat tasting all sorts of European food. The sweet things, meat, currywurst and cheese all went down well, but the poor olives were neglected!

Aside from all the formal learning, I wanted to highlight the many responsibilities that P7 pupils take on. Most of the roles have to be applied for with a written application followed up with an interview or presentation. The skills involved in this are all part of Developing the Young Workforce. For every single position, the staff have been overwhelmed by the professionalism and skill of our young people. Our Junior Road Safety Officers, Reading Champions, House Captains, Sports Captains, Pupil council, Sports Committee have all been successfully through this process.

In addition, P7 have roles as rainy day monitors, corridor monitors, reading buddies, P1 buddies, recycling monitors, lunch trolley movers. All of the jobs have to be done as well as their in-class learning, so they really are developing their time-management skills as well.

However, today a huge amount of praise should go to the many P7 pupils who helped out at our Macmillan Coffee Morning. They all worked tirelessly and politely for the whole morning, mucking in doing whatever needed done. Many staff and visitors have complimented them on their great work. We are all very proud of them. FANTASTIC WORK P7!
