Primary 1S and Primary 7 got together to make 🥞 pancakes.

As we will be off school on Pancake Tuesday we decided to have them early😀

We used lots of skills, teamwork , listening, following instructions as well cooking 🧑‍🍳 skills to make pancakes 🥞 with our buddies. We had lots of fun and got to sample a couple of pancakes each with different toppings.

We all agreed we would like to try to makes these at home 😋

A Happy Halloween From Primary 7

Leave a comment

Halloween preparations began last week where primary 7 created their own Halloween art and even made their own Halloween raps to music.

On Friday we celebrated Halloween with pupils attending a Halloween party showcasing their costumes. It was a fun filled day consisting of dancing, party games, Halloween jokes, snacks and lots of laughs. The Halloween costumes were of a high standard and primary 7 enjoyed strutting their stuff at the party.  

It has been a busy time lately in primary 7 with lots going on. We are continuing our new writing topic of Information Reporting where we are looking at non-fiction texts, analysing information, conducting research and making sure we have the correct structure and layout to create our own information report.

In numeracy we have been completing our Maths assessment under exam conditions.

We are starting our new topic of World War 1 and look forward to learning more about this.  

Last week we started a project with 5 sisters zoo and had a representative from the zoo who will be leading the project visit us to introduce this. This will see us creating posters and sending letters to a school we have partnered with in Ghana for the project.

 

We now have our newly elected House Captains and Prefects who has taken on extra responsibility around the School. A huge well done who everyone who participated for their hard work and especially to everyone who was successful in achieving a role.

It has been a quick week in Primary 7.  We would like to start by thanking everyone who attended ‘Rock for Camp’ last week.  We raised over £900.  Thank you to the parent council members who supported us with this, your help and advice was really appreciated.  We hope everyone had as much fun as we did.  Well done to the winners of the games and raffles.

We have also welcomed some very hungry visitors this week.  We have been learning about life cycles.  we have planted seeds and are now looking at the life cycles of animals.  Our caterpillars will be with us for a few weeks as we study different stages of their

development.

Another shorter week next week.  We hope you enjoy the holiday weekend.

Things are Growing in P7

Leave a comment


This week we have been looking at the life cycle of plants and how a plant produces seeds.   We have been planting seeds of our own.  The ones that we planted out in the school garden before Easter have become dinner for little visitors to the garden, so undeterred, we are starting again.

 

We have planted cress indoors and letuce, radishes carrots and spring onions outdoors.  We have also been looking at how the plants produce seeds.  We have disected and pressed some flowers and examined each of the parts to learn how seeds are produced.

Our Friends in Ghana

This year Primary 7 have been taking part in a project called Friends for Wildlife.  We have been writing to children from Akwidaa in Ghana.  We have been telling them about our local wildlife and they have been sharing information about animals near where they live.  As part of the project we have set up motion capture cameras in the local area and have capture lots of pictures of deer, and there is one of a fox and some squirrels.  some of them are tricky to see can you spot all of the animals in the selection below?  You can click on the pictures below to zoom in.

We have been sharing letter with the children about life in the places where we live and the children have found it interesting to find out about the food, games and customs in Ghana.

We have been sent more letters and some posters of endangered animals where they live and have sent them posters of Basking sharks, otters, smooth newt and pine martins.  We will let you know what they have sent us posters on soon.

Primary 7 put their Art skills to good use to create a super painting of a lion for their door.  They are the winners of the competition which was run by the school Literacy Group.  They received a certificate and a prize to share.

The whole school took part in the competition to design their classroom door related to a book they have been reading in class.  The whole school then voted for their favourite design.

A big well done to everyone for taking part.

Primary 7 – 23.1.23

1 Comment

Primary 7 have been celebrating Burns Night with some Irn Bru and a wee bit of shortbread .  We have been learning our Burns poems and are preparing to perform them in front of the class next week.   The children were using the reading skills of clarifying and inference to try to work out what some of the words meant in the Burns poem ‘My Hoggie’.

In our World War 2 Home Front topic we have been

learning about ‘Make Do and Mend’  We have been knitting little dish cloths with some wool.  We are continuing to make little models of Anderson shelters,  We were very pleased with our war time carrot biscuits. We followed the instructions we wrote to make them.   They tasted much better that we thought and we couldn’t really taste the carrot.

We went down to P1 to support the work that they were doing in science.  We made push and pull vehicles as part on their learning about Forces.
