Today was Internet Safety Day and the P7 class took part in a skype event with schools from other authorities.  The classes that were presenting at the event covered topics such as online gaming, digital security, digital literacy and the rights that apply when online. The class also took part in a quiz, discussed different digital scenarios and watched a short video about online chat and bullying.

This week the P7 class has started a new block of writing based on the ‘Realistic Story Genre’.  They looked at good examples written by Jacqueline Wilson and Philippa Pearce and focused on character feelings.  They have also been practising their passing skills in basketball and hockey.  For topic the children have been researching their Clans and learning about Jacobite soldiers and weapons.  During Maths the children have focused on telling the time, calculating durations and working out time differences across the world.

The total amount raised this year for Children in Need was a massive £624.95.  Thank you once again to all who contributed.

A HUGE big thank you to everyone who handed in home baking this week to be sold at the P7 Pudsey Stall.  The stall was a great success and all cakes and cookies sold out!  The money is still being counted so the final total of how much was raised will be posted next week.  Well done to all the competition winners too.

Well done to all the P7 children who performed a great class assembly on Friday.  The children shared facts about Guy Fawkes, performed a drama and also a dance.  Thank you to Arianne and Alex for choreographing and teaching the dance.
