On Monday Our House Captains were announced:

Houston: Shefali Mathur and Gregor Hollis

Alderstone: Harry Coupar and Alex Coyle

Howden: Finlay MacDonald and Jules Goodwin

Limefield: Scott Cooke and Natalie MacGillvray

Well done to all the candidates and their campaign groups for all their hard work!

On Thursday some of the P7 pupils attended an event at Craigswood Sports Centre. We had a great afternoon taking part in a variety of athletics activities. We took part in activities such as long jump, sprinting and relay race. We are awaiting the results to see how we got on! We tried our very best and demonstrated great sportsmanship!

Some P7 pupils stayed at school with Ms MacDonald and created presentations about the daily life of an MSP. We used devices to carry out research and work collaboratively to put together a presentation to share our findings.

We enjoyed parents visiting our class on Tuesday to share our learning and join us for our morning starter activity.

Comments from pupils:

“I really enjoyed going to the Athletics festival because it was great fun but also tiring!” Alexander

House Captain candidates continued working hard this week on their campaigns. Each candidate presented in front of their house today and all pupils from Primary 1 to 7 got to vote for who they wanted to be the House Captains. Well done to all candidates and their campaign groups for all their hard work and we cannot wait to find out the results!

We enjoyed problem solving this week and used logic to help us. We had to select key information from clues to seat passengers on an aeroplane and ensure all passengers were happy.

PE was tiring and terrific. Mr Muldoon challenged us with circuits including skipping and running and we really had to push ourselves out of our comfort zones.

We explored the Global Goals and focused on Goal 5 – Gender equality. We discussed what that means to us and explored the story of Malala. We have some exciting homework to complete to help contribute to a huge survey.

Welcome to our P7b Blog. At Williamston Primary School, Primary 7 is an exciting and busy year filled with a variety of opportunities. We have a strong pupil leadership team and P7 are lucky enough to take this forward throughout the school. We enjoy all of our roles and responsibilities and are aware that these help us to develop skills that we will not only use in preparation for high school but are also lifelong learning skills. We are trying to take on more responsibility for our own learning and use our diaries to help us with being more organised.

We absolutely love being buddies to the P1 children and look forward to lots of activities and events with them throughout the year.

We are already excited about PGL camp, our trip to The Risk Factory and P7 show!

In P7 we embrace new challenges, work together and thrive to be the best that we can be!
