Primary 7s have been revising on their multiplication and division strategies.

They been learning about WWII.  This involved lots of cooperative work, researching and script writing.  In addition to this, the children have analysed the poem ” The Sodger’s Rerurn” by Robert Burns.  They  then wrote their individual narrative poem which included  Scottish words.  They have done themselves proud!

They have also created oil pastel portraits which used the subject of children during WWII.  This type of art was inspired the work of  a Scottish artist named Joan Eardley.

We are so proud of all the P6s and P7s  for presenting their Scottish Opera  to the whole school.  They have worked extremely hard and it paid off! Well done all of you.  You have made everyone so very proud!

  • Researched facts about life during World War II.
  • Looked into the work of Joan Eardley who is a Scottish  artist.  We will be creating art work influenced by her techniques.
  • Learnt to multiply numbers using mental strategies.  We also learnt formal written methods of multiplication and division.
  • Discussed feelings and opinions about WWII.
  • Some of us used our knowledge of the four operations and used BODMAS for calculating answers.

Next week, we will focus on writing poetry inspired by Robert Burn’s poetry.

Have a lovely week everyone!

 

Christmas Fun in P7b

This week we have been working on creating winter silhouette  painting.  We learnt to blend shades of blue.  We also learnt to gradate colours in our painting to show light and dark contrast.

We enjoyed a STEM challenge as we created origami Christmas trees.  Many of us demonstrated resilience by never giving up.  Some us had to make 3 or more attempts to perfect the tree.

 

We had a great time at our disco.  We played party games and Mr Wells showed us a magic trick!  What a good way to end the term.  There were lots of laughter and fun this week.

 

Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy new year!!

Well done to the pupils who had the courage to audition.

Also we would like to congratulate those who were successful in securing a role.

The P7s have been busy with costing and making enterprise products for the upcoming Christmas Fayre.  They have taken this responsibility seriously.  It’s a joy to watch them negotiate and make decisions as a group.

For the F1 challenge,  the children actively research information on t”what makes a fast car”.  This will help them create their own F1 version.  In addition to this, they have also looked into designing their own team logo and name.

For literacy, we uplevelled our stories that we wrote.  Then we wrote a recount on what we have so far done with  our F1 project.  We had exciting Wednesday afternoon as we met the author of Shadows of Winterspell, Amy Wilson.  She gave us tips on how to write magical stories.

For Numeracy, the P7s investigated angles of triangles.  They learnt how to  find the value of x in equations and some of simplified simple expressions.

Some of children went to the Sportshall Athletics event.  They did so well.  They showed true sportsmanship and determination.  They make the whole school proud!
