P7 ENTERPRISE
CHRISTMAS FAYRE
The pupils have been raising funds for their Leavers' Dance in June and so have carried out a range of activities. The pupils took charge of the PRL at the Christmas Fayre and had a range of games running for the children to play such as matching Christmas pairs, Lucky Advent Dip, Help the Lost Monkey and the Snowman's Numbers. These games were very popular and the children did well at selling by encouraging children to play. It was a very successful morning and the children raised about £145. A super start!
SPONSORED DANCE
The pupils then chose to do a Sponsored Scottish Country Dance as part of our Homecoming celebrations during Scottish week. The pupils planned the event by sending a letter and sponsor form home to parents. The children showed off their wonderful dancing skills for an
afternoon and had great fun doing it. They danced some of their favourites such as the Dashing White Sergeant and the progressive Canadian Barn Dance. So far we have raised over £160 and there is still more money to come in. Another great success P7.
TRIP TO METROPOLITAN COLLEGE
Last Friday Primary 7 visited the Metropolitan College in Glasgow as part of their Enterprise work. They visited the Construction department and developed skills in joinery, plastering and brick-laying. The pupils listened well to the staff and thoroughly enjoyed the tasks. The pupils all created their own plaster models and we'll enjoy painting them before Christmas.
PLASTERING
BRICK-LAYING
The pupils used bricks and mortar to build their own pyramid wall. This was a tricky task to ensure their wall was stable and level. They used the tools provided and a spirit level to help them along.
JOINERY
The third activity the pupils worked on was building bird boxes in the joinery department. The pupils were led by Richard who helped them to construct their bird box using wood, nails and glue. They showed a great improvement in using hammers by the end of the session and we survived with no injuries! The pupils were really proud of their achievement and were keen to show off their end product. We are very fortunate that the college will deliver the boxes to us soon.
The pupils ended their day playing Quizdom which they enjoyed too. It was a very interesting day and the pupils absolutely loved their time there. A big thanks to the staff at the college for the wonderful day. The pupils learned about skills for work and further developed their technology skills. The college praised the children for their excellent behaviour. Well done, P7!
TRIP TO REID KERR COLLEGE
The children further developed their technology skills and enterprise focus by visiting the Construction department at Reid Kerr College. The children spent a day taking part in a range of activities such as joinery - building wooden planters for the school playground, roofing - tiling a roof, plastering a wall and painting and decorating. The children had a fantastic time and were very proud of their achievements. The staff were very supportive working with the pupils and were also impressed by the enthusiasm and good behaviour displayed by the class.

Your experiences at Metropolitan and Reid Kerr Colleges were fantastic. I enjoyed hearing how much you learned and your enthusiam was clear. The bird boxes look great. I hope we get some birds nesting in them soon.
Hopefully next term we can develop your technology skills further on Monday afternoons.

P7’s Feelings About Leaving
Primary seven have really enjoyed their final year at Kirklandneuk Primary School. But sadly they are leaving very soon and will be moving up to high school. The staff are very proud of primary 7 while the children would like the primary 7’s to stay as everyone at Kirklandneuk Primary are very close .
Primary 7 are also feeling emotional about their move, they are feeling excited because they are moving up to big new school and they will meet lots of new friends but they are also feeling nervous because alot of things will be new to them and the school is bigger and are a bit scared incase they get lost but overall there is a mix of emotions through out the class.
