Author Ross MacKenzie Visits P7

Primary 7 enjoyed a visit from Ross MacKenzie, author of 'Zac and the Dream Pirates'. We got to ask Ross lots of questions about being an author and learned about the world of publishing. In preparation for the visit we created dream pictures of our own, using everything from pastels to glitter. Ross had the very difficult task of selecting the best one.

Rebecca won the dream pictures competition and received a signed copy of Ross' book.



Thank you to Ross for taking the time to speak to us and for answering all of our questions. It's really inspired us to write!

Well Done Primary 7

Yesterday Primary 7 hosted an excellent assembly. Well done for all your hard work.
Miss McCurdy

Friday 17 September 2010

Primary 7 have got off to a great start and we have already had to demonstrate our ability to work together in order to get ready for our assembly, 'Back to School with God'. Miss McCurdy is so pleased with how hard we have worked to learn all our words and songs. We are really enjoying working with our friends from P.6/7. We're sure the assembly will be a great success and are looking forward to seeing our families there.

Around the school, Primary 7 have been very organised...and it's a good job because we have lots of responsibilities to fulfil. Being monitors, buddies and DJ's is great fun! We recently wrote twisted fairy tales for our P.1 Buddies and will get the chance to read them on our visit tomorrow afternoon.

As well as the assembly, we have been doing lots of other things in class. As part of our Learning Journey, we are learning about Hindu Weddings. We have really enjoyed exploring India and looking at how Hindu's use astrology to pick their wedding day. Our class display is very impressive with our wedding leaflets and Mandir pictures.

In Science we are learning about Space Exploration and have used maths to explore the radius and diameter of planets. Next week Miss McCurdy is teaching us how to make rockets. We have to measure how far they travel...not too far we hope!

David, an ICT lecturer from Reid Kerr College, has been visiting our class once a week. We are learning lots of new skills and are looking forward to creating our Yearbook.

We will begin our topic of Global Citizenship next week, where we will be learning about Children's Rights. We will be doing lots of writing around this, including writing to world leaders.

Take a look at our pictures!
