P5-7 Planting Event

On Friday, a group of pupils from P5-7 took part in a community planting event with Mirin and Nelly from the Edinburgh and Lothians Green Space Trust. We were invited along to help with the trust’s project to help create better habitats in our local area for great crested newts. This species of newt is protected and can be found locally.

The pupils planted plants such as meadow sweet, water mint and marsh cinquefoil around the pond edge which should serve as homes for the newts and protection from predators. The pupils also planted some trees near to the pond area. It was great fun, if a little muddy! Many of the children said they would like to return to the pond once the plants have had a chance to grow to see the difference they have made.

Primary 7

Primary 7 explored children’s rights and decided which ones would be relevant to include in our class charter.  They talked about Rights Holders and Duty Bearers and discussed how each of these would ensure that everyone’s rights were met.  Next, they suggested ideas for a theme for our class charter.  Aliens received the most votes.  Finally, pupils created their own alien images to show that they agreed with the class charter created.

Primary 7 weekly overview

Another busy week of learning in Primary 7 this week.

We are just beginning to learn about using mixed media in Art. We are creating images of soldiers during WW2, showing the different emotions felt by them during this time.

We had great excitement on Thursday afternoon as we have started work on our World War Two garden with Sarah-Jane. We will be clearing the beds, digging the soil over and eventually planting some crops ready for the spring. We are hoping for some dry weather over the next couple of weeks so we can get outside and work on this project.

Our House and Vice captain elections take place on Wednesday and we are all excited about these. We are also feeling a bit nervous too.

Have a great weekend.

Primary 7 Class Charter

We spent a lot of time considering which articles, from the UN convention of the rights of a child, were most suited to us in school.

We read the articles.

Highlighted the one that applied to us in school/class.

We considered the most important to us.

We then thought how we as Rights Holders could keep these rights and how the adults  as Duty Bearers, can help us maintain our rights.

Primary 7 weekly update

It was lovely to be back with all our friends again.

We started a new Numeracy topic on volume. We have been learning how to read volume scales on beakers and jugs in millilitres and litres, working out problems with volume and we have begun learning how to calculate the volume of cubes and cuboids in cubic centimetres.

In literacy, we watched a short persuasive animation and tried to work out the message it was showing us. We then looked at the different devices the animator used to persuade us and discussed how effective these were.

In art, we started using the new drawing pencils we got at the end of last term. We learned how to draw a realistic mouth.

Have a great weekend everyone.

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.

Mrs Andison and Primary 7
