PRIMARY 7 Week beginning 14th February

We all had a great, long weekend and came back on Wednesday ready to learn.

In Numeracy, we have been learning what perimeter is an how to calculate it. We have also begun applying what we have learned to word problems.

Our new IDL topic is on China and we have begun to look at what we know already, what we want to learn and what parts of the curriculum our learning will cover.  There is a lot that we want to learn – especially what festivals, celebrations and events they have.

We are looking forward to another week of new learning.

Weekly update from Primary 7

We have been rounding off our Scottish topic by writing information reports on Scottish animals, the life of Robert Burns and Scottish musicians from the past.  Mrs Andison has been impressed by our report writing skills and how they have progressed over the weeks.  We are becoming more confident.

In Numercy we have been recapping measuring in millimetres, centimetres and metres. We were outside measuring as well as inside, and are improving our accuracy.  We have also been converting a variety of measurements.

In art we have been using oil pastels to mix the colours we saw in some thistles.  The results were very good.

In Science we have investigated echolocation and its purpose for different animals.

As well as all our learning, we have been planning a winter sports event for the whole school to take part in.

It’s certainly been a bust week in P7 and it’s about to get busier as we are stating to get Teams meetings and visits from staff at Broxburn Academy as the  start of our transition. Exciting times.

Have a great week ahead.

We have had a great first, full week back to school.

During our Scottish topic we have been learning about the life of Robert Burns so that we can write an information report on him. We have also investigated a Scottish musician of our choice, from the past, and listened to a variety of Scottish music/artists and discussed what emotions each track triggered and what they made us visualise.

In Maths, we have been reading and plotting coordinate points on a Cartesian diagram. We have drawn shapes and recorded the coordinates for them too.

One of our pupils has been teaching us some Polish vocabulary. This week we learned how to say please and thank you.

Hope you have had a great week too.

A great week in Primary 7. We completed our 3D pop-up cards  for our buddies in Primary 1. We are excited to give them to our buddies.

We began to draw angles, of a given size, this week. Mrs Andison challenged us to draw a Christmas tree using angles and recording what angles we used. Some of us even managed to draw a star from angles.

Thursday was our Christmas party an we had a great time. One of the best games was Shovel the Snowballs but it was exhausting!!!

Only 3 days left at school before we are off for the holidays.

Have a very Merry  Christmas  and enjoy the break.

Primary 7 weekly update

A busy week again in P7. Lots of great learning was happening.

In Maths, we learned how to measure angles using a protractor.  We found this a challenge, especially trying to decide which side of scale to use for each angle. Mrs Andison was impressed at our perseverance and how accurate we were.

In Technology, we learned how to make 3d pop-up cards. We  designed our own card, make a mockup of it and, once we were happy it would work, we then made our final card.

In IDL, we have finalised our PowerPoint presentations on discrimination. We will be presenting these to our peers . It will be great to see what aspects each of us have researched.

We are looking forward to the week ahead and to our Christmas party.

Have a great week everyone.

Well it’s been another busy week in Primary 7. We continue to learn more about different types of  discrimination and the impact it can have on individuals and families. We are currently using our own research,  on two different types of discrimination, to create Power Point presentations to share with others in the class. Our research skill are improving every week.

We are looking forward to our Christmas lunch on Wednesday.

We have had a busy week with last minute tweaks to our presentations i preparation for our House and Vice Captain elections. It has been and exciting and nerve-wracking week for our candidates.

In Literacy we are continuing our new novel Divided City by Theresa Breslin. We are really enjoying the storyline. We are focusing on our prediction skills at the moment.  We created our own book covers for Divided City. We were impressed at the variety of different ideas we all came up with. Here are some of our fantastic ideas.

Well it’s been a very busy week for us in P7. We have been preparing for the House Captain elections that are to happen next week.

As it was Children in Need, on Friday,  we designed new T-shirts for the event. Have a look at our amazing designs.

We also had a fun dance-off with P6 outside in the playground.  Mrs Andison was impressed with some of our dance moves. She even gave some of us a 10/10 (Strictly has nothing on us).

A fitting way for us to finish our learning about WW2. We made our own poppies for Remembrance day. We wore them to go and lay a wreath at the memorial in Pumpherston. We walked from the school to the memorial  on a beautiful sunny morning to lay the wreath from the school. We spent some time there thinking about the soldiers who had given their lives for us. We also had a minute silence in remembrance of all lives lost from WW1 until today,  in conflict.
