Exciting Week for P7

What a week this has been for P7. The current West Lothian Sportshall champions went to the Jack Kane Sports Centre on Wednesday to participate in the East of Scotland Finals. The competition was fast and furious and we came eighth on the day. We are very proud of the effort and sportsmanship our team put in. Well done everyone and thank you to Mr Stewart and Active Schools Coordinator Stewart Livingston for organising this great opportunity for our school, and to Abby Cowan for her help and support.

Today, 15 of our pupils took part in a netball tournament at Parkhead Primary School. Both teams had a great time and won lots of matches. We are excitedly waiting on the overall results.

In science this week, pupils were investigating reflections using mirrors. This was a great, fun activity where pupils had to try out getting different results by bending the mirrors or moving them around. They also tried looking at the alphabet, trying to find letters and then a word that could be shown complete by reflecting half of it. Photos below…

What P7 Are Learning This Week

P7 are continuing to learn about fractions, decimals and percentages and the connection between them. This week we were revising how 1/10 can be shown as a decimal. We have also been investigating properties of fractions to see if we can come up with a ‘magic fraction’. Take a fraction and simplify it. Then reverse the digits of the numerator and the denominator and simplify the new fraction. It is a ‘magic fraction’ if both simplify to the same fraction.

We have also been having discussions about what is good or bad about being online. Pupils have been completing activities designed to see things from another person’s point of view. Sometimes online messages don’t come across the way we intend and many disagreements follow from that, so it can be useful to think about what the other person meant before jumping to conclusions.

Sportshall Athletics West Lothian Champions

 

We are delighted to announce that 20 members our P7 class have just been crowned the Sportshall Athletics West Lothian Champions. Way back in October the children were given the choice to take part in the athletics competition. Those who didn’t assisted Mr Stewart with recording times, setting up the athletics tracks and organising their peers into the correct groups. It was a real team effort. We took part in the competition alongside our cluster schools and in every event there were points to gain. We came 1st in our cluster event which was a super achievement in itself. We then had to wait until 6 other clusters held their event. The two schools with the most points would then go on to represent West Lothian at the Regional Championships. We just found out a few days ago that not only have we qualified but we are the winning primary school in the whole of West Lothian. A remarkable achievement. Well done to all members of the P7 class. We are very proud of you.

P7 Scottish Focus – Robert Burns

Happy New Year!

P7 have a very busy term ahead which will include preparing for the annual P6/P7 show – details to follow very soon! Before then we have our traditional Scottish Focus for the first 3 weeks of term. In P7 our focus will be the work of Robert Burns.

The poem choices for P7 are all by Robert Burns. Pupils will be given a choice but they can choose any other poem by Robert Burns that interests them, as long as it is of a suitable level of challenge for Primary 7. Some pupils may opt to learn an extract from Tam O’Shanter as an alternative to a whole poem.

To A Mouse

Scots Wha Hae

Address to a Haggis

To a Mountain Daisy

Tam O Shanter

In addition, P7 pupils will have a project to complete about the life and work of Robert Burns. This is due in on 16th February. A copy of the information sheet is attached.
