P7
Last week P7 realised they had a hidden talent for orienteering! We went to Lowport for the morning and worked extremely hard in pairs. It was really fun, even though it was a really cold morning!
P7 Blog 18th October
This week p7 went on a trip to the National Archives of Scotland (it’s not a library!) and we done drama, art and investigating about WW1. We wrote a diary entry about Albert from war horse you might be familiar with the movie or the book, we also put the writing into coffee and then into our scrapbook we all have our own page in the scrapbook!
 We have done lots of art things in class like :
Soldiers – blending using pastels and tissue paper.
Our p7 scrap book – about WW1 with pop out information, once we are finished it will be put in the public library so you can come and see them.
We have also been busy getting all our work finished for the October holidays. For maths everyone has been doing division because everyone was a bit rusty on it!

P7
P7 were thinking about the question –  how do you know if you have learned or improved?
It was a tricky question. Here are our thoughts:
– getting faster / better
– things seem harder but then easier to learn
– I can achieve new things that I couldn’t do before.
– I can answer questions but also know after thinking time
– I know I know because I’m confident
– Teacher feedback – stickers / marking
– Peer feedback
Does anyone else have any ideas?

Primary 7 Reflections
In primary 7 we talked about which lessons we learned best, here are some examples:
- Elli said the spelling scrabble game because we had to time ourselves and it was fun.
- Sophie said she became more confident with calculating time durations during maths.Â
We were all really proud on Wednesday in P.E as we had a great game of Benchball where everyone showed good sportsmanship.

P6 Reflections on learning
“I was successful when I learned fractions with Mrs Campbell because I had forgotten how to do fractions.”
“The best part about Thursday was Golden Time because we played fair and nobody cheated so that made it better”
“This week I enjoyed the Magik Circus where we focused on the mood and atmosphere.”
“Last week all the p6’s got to sit at the tables outside because p7’s where at camp!”
“Since Miss McLennan told us she’d like to know what we’ve been up to lately,  this is what I’ve been up to – I was at horse riding on Monday and on a pony called Sam and on Thursday.  When I had my private lesson,  I was on my favourite horse called Monty. On my maths test I got 20/20.” Amy
“I liked it when we were colouring with the pastels and I loved drawing the whole school from that height.”  Holly
“I liked Tuesday when it was P.E. because we went outside in the playground. We were sprinting and I also liked when we were doing P.E. with p5 it was really fun. ”  Zoe
Primary 6 Poets
P6 have been writing poems in the style of poet Charles Causley’s ‘As I went down Zig Zag’. Here are some examples of our favourite stanzas:
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking two,
I saw a man bouncing
Like a purple kangaroo.
As i went down Zig Zag
The clock striking eight,
I saw a bike which ateÂ
A sparkly chocolate cake.
By Zoe Evans
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking one
I saw a man dancing
When the party was done.
As I went down zig zag
The clock striking three
I saw an old lady drinking
Tea in the sea.Â
By Connor Ramsay
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking eight,
I saw a boy going
For a long skate.
As I went down Zig Zag
The clock striking nine,
I saw a girl singing
A nursery rhyme.
By Ellie Hamilton
