Here is the fabulous P7a looking so smart in their shirt and ties. What a lovely week we had getting to know each other. We did lots of different activities and worked in different groupings. Throughout the whole week the children have been fantastic at helping their buddies, they have really risen to the challenge of P7 and their responsibilities.
Creating our class charter allowed us to talk about the UN Rights of a Child, and remind ourselves of the need to respect each other, our classroom and resources and the environment.
We each filled in an “all about me” sheet which we put in an envelope with a letter to our future selves and a piece of string to show our height. The envelopes were all placed in a Time Capsule which won’t be opened until the last day of P7 when we will see how much we have grown and changed over the year…
Here are a few photos of us being measured…
We had a fun afternoon yesterday problem solving. Mrs Gordon split us into teams of 4 an gave us some spaghetti and marshmallows. The challenge was to build the tallest tower, or the longest bridge with these resources. We all learnt a lot about planning, estimation, stability, weight and of course team work and compromise. Here is the winning tower and bridge.
We can’t wait to find out what we will be learning next week, have a great weekend.
P7a and Mrs Gordon
