P7 have been busy this week, as always. We started Monday by completing our Christmas Card designs. We managed a sneaky extra PE session too, so that we could learn more netball – we are really getting there with all the rules and positions. As always on a Monday afternoon, we have our Reading Circles. Please try to ensure your child has read the required pages and completed the activity, otherwise the benefits of the group discussion are missed.

The highlight of our week was definitely a visit from the WL Museum Service to teach us about local geology as part of the work the pupils are doing with Mrs Fraser about rocks and soils. Pupils were able to handle all sorts of interesting rocks and fossils. Some photos are already on Twitter and I will get some posted on here soon.

Jack – This week I have enjoyed PE because last week I missed it so I’ve caught up on the netball rules quite quickly.

Ben M – one of the things that stood out for me at the geology lesson was about the sea flooding Scotland and then everything turning into fossils after dying, when the water dried out too.

Erin – When I was doing Japan school facts I couldn’t get the right fact but I kept trying. That was me using perseverance. In maths I have an aspiration to try and get all my number talks questions right. So I will keep trying and I think I’ve improved on it this week.

Liam – This week I tried to persevere in the netball trials and to try to improve my vocabulary in my writing.

Bobby – I found the manga a bit hard because I couldn’t draw a perfect circle and when I tried drawing the chin, both sides were unequal. I did enjoy it though. I really liked maths because we were teaching each other stuff instead of the teacher just telling us.
