Here is the overview for this our final term in Primary 7.
P5 Weekly Update
Literacy
We spent some time this week creating posters and leaflets about our local area. We also did some free writing and came up with a whole mix of stories!
Numeracy
Our Maths focus this week was times tables and we did some activities to see how confident we are with different tables.
IDL
We learned a little bit about the famous graffiti artists Banksy and Keith Haring. After that, we made our own graffiti-style names to display on the wall.
We also did some team-building games outside and that was fun. We liked getting some fresh air!
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.

P6 Weekly Update
We had a great first week back after the Easter holiday. We returned from our holidays in good spirits and enjoyed sharing our news through a recount piece of writing. We self and peer assessed this piece of writing which allowed others to see what we had been up to.
We have been focusing on growth mindset this week where we were set mini challenges, under time constraints. These tasks lasted for 5 minutes and challenged our own mindsets. We created posters for around the classroom with positive quotes on them. These will be used by the whole class when they find a task difficult or overwhelming and need some help to overcome their negative feelings.
P2/1 – Weekly Blog
To mark the end of their Circus topic, P2/1 performed their own Circus to the Primary 1 class on the last day of term. The boys and girls worked hard practising their routines and deciding on the music they wanted to perform to. Well done P2/1, your Circus was amazing!
Primary 7 Easter eggs
Well done P7. Amazing entries.
P5 Easter Eggs
Well done to P5 for some amazing egg decorating.
Here are some of the eggs brought in.
Well done P5.
Primary 2
This week in Primary 2 we have been continuing our topic on living things. We conducted some of our own research on the 6 different animal classification groups and had fun exploring their different characteristics.
We have also been practicing our number doubles with help from Jack Hartman and his doubles song. Here is a picture of us in action.
Primary 3
This week, Primary 3 continued their Victorian topic.
We worked in teams to create Victorian characters and family names. Next, we explored common jobs during that period (e.g. steelworks, cotton mill, jute factory) and wrote applications for them. We then looked at clothing items and ‘dressed’ our characters appropriately for work. Then, we looked at tenement housing (our characters were moving to the city for better-paid, factory work) and built family homes from junk. #effectivecontributors
You can see each family home below!
Check in with us next week to see what we have been learning!
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

P2/1 Weekly Blog
Primary 2/1 are now coming to the end of their Circus topic and this week have been busy practising for their own Circus performance. We set up our ticket office in the playground and sold tickets to the P1’s who will be the audience for our Circus next week.
In Numeracy, we have been learning about money, and our knowledge of adding coins of different amounts came in useful when selling our tickets.
