OUR FIRST TERM IN P7

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We have settled well into Primary 7 and are enjoying being the top of the school. We are setting a great example to the rest of the school with our behaviour and have taken on all our new responsibilities. We are monitors at break and lunch, wet weather monitors and infant buddies to support the infants in playing games. We also have taken on the role of Buddies for the new Primary 1s. We have helped them settle into the school by giving them a tour; reading stories to them and taking them to the lunch hall to have lunch with them.

As we are in a new class with a new teacher, we have been building our learning community to learn to work together effectively and be a quality team. We have been completing critical skills challenges as a way to learn together and we created our dodecahedrons to represent our home teams. We presented these to the class.







TOPIC
We are studying the life and work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh as part of our social subjects and are very much enjoying this. His work and designs have inspired many pieces of our art work for this term.

ACTIVE LEARNING
In line with a Curriculum for Excellence we are enjoying lots of active learning across many areas of the curriculum. We have completed Critical skills challenges, used ICT to support our learning, had a guest speaker in to support our RME topic. Below are some photos of us hard at work!










ECO-SCHOOLS
As part of our Eco-schools project Primary 7 are responsible for developing our local environment. As a class we have entered a Community Regeneration Project on the Scotland in Focus Website. We planned a project to help improve our school playground and its facilities. We had to apply by writing about why the playground is important to us, what we would like to acheive in our project and provide photos to support our entry. We applied for money to support our ideas and are waiting to hear if we are successful. Here are some pictures of the pupils preparing for this task.





ASSEMBLY
On Friday 18th September we performed the first school assembly - Back to School With God. We all learned our lines well and our singing was beautiful. The assembly was about the new responsibilities we face in P7 and about the people that are there to support us including God. We asked the parents to give us feedback in the form of Two Stars and a Wish and we were delighted by the fantastic comments. Thank you!
