Talk Money Week Home Challenge

Talk Money Week is an opportunity for everyone to get involved with events and activities across the UK which help people have more open conversations about their money – from pocket money to pensions – and continue these conversations year-round.

The ‘Magic Mathematicians’ Pupil Voice Group would like to invite you to take part in our Talk Money Challenge.  We would like you to think about how we keep money safe.

We would like you to design and create one of the following:

  • money container
  • wallet
  • purse

You can use recycled junk or fabric.

Please bring in your finished design by Friday 10th November.

The Magic Mathematicians will choose their favourite designs from the following age categories:

  • P1-P2
  • P3-P4
  • P5-P7

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.

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.

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.

From Primary 7 and Mrs Andison.
