Good Afternoon Primary 7
Hope you have been feeling inspired during your writing lesson this morning! We can’t wait to read the exciting next chapters that you have been writing.
This afternoon we are going to be doing a bit of science, looking at how important looking after our plant – particularly important today on ‘World Earth Day’
To start with why not take a breath taking (virtual) tour of some of the world’s most beautiful natural attractions. Travel from the Great Barrier Reef, to the icebergs of Alaska, to the volcanoes of Hawaii learning all about what we can do to protect these.

Which of these attractions did you find the most interesting? Why do you think it is important to try and save the places included in the video? Write a short summary about one of the places you studied and what you have learned about it.
If you are able to take a (social distanced) walk with an adult why don’t you look around and see what local plants of wildlife you can see. With permission you could snap a few pictures and then research when you get home to find out the name of the plants and animals. Perhaps you could design an informative poster showing your findings.
If you are unable to get out a walk then the following website will give you lots on information about plants and animals native to Scotland

Your task for music today is to learn the Canadian Anthem. In English and French! This website has the lyrics in both languages and a audio file on the page that has the tune.

You can listen to the anthem here first:

If you like you could record yourself and post it to your Personal Learning Blog
Just a heads up Primary 7, we will not be posting at 9.15 on Friday morning, instead Mr McGurn and I will both be available to our own classes for a chat. If you log on to your own Team there will be the opportunity to join the chat and say hello to your friends and to us. Work will then be posted after the chat has ended.
