Enterprising Learners

Primary 7 worked very hard on their Enterprise Project and had great success at the Christmas Fayre. Over the part few weeks, we have designed and created games for customers to play. These included Matching pairs, Christmas Cuties and Guess Rudolph's country. We carefully costed our materials and prizes and managed to make a profit. When it comes to business, Primary 7 are right on the money!

Tetrahedron Challenge

Primary 7 received a visit from Sharon Edgar, who put us through our paces in design. This was a fantastic challenge, where team work and problem solving were vital. Primary 7 worked fantastically together to build a 4 metre high tetrahedron. Well Done!















Big Theatre Company

Primary 7 enjoyed a wonderful visit from the Big Theatre Company and learned lots about Sustainability. From colourful wigs to Eagle calls, the pupils had an excellent time. Have a look at our pictures.

Primary 7 Get Busy!

We've settled really quickly into our new building and we love the Victorian design and our large classroom. As we are on the top floor, the stairs to our class are keeping us Super fit! Good training for the athletics club. This term is set to be an excellent one as we are learning lots of new things and proud to be in charge of the Christmas Fayre Enterprise.

Last week we started learning about WW2 and it is a really interesting topic. From aircraft to world leaders, this topic is going to provide us with lots of opportunities for collaborative group work and critical skills. Lots of people have already brought in things from home and Jodie had a picture of her Great Grandfather in his uniform. As we have already started researching the topic ourselves at home, Miss McCurdy says that we are going to do a Personal Project. We get the choice about what to write about and then we will share it with the class. Primary 7 all plan to watch films, read books and use the internet to learn more about world history.

We are still buzzing with our usual responsibilities and these have been extended with selling poppies and helping at Parent Run Library. Primary 7 really enjoyed talking with parents at Parents night. We really feel that we are developing our capacities as Responsible Citizens.

Miss McCurdy and Primary 7 would like to congratulate the pupils from our class who represented us in the General Knowledge Quiz at Arkleston. Ganesh, Lewis, Jordan and Dalia worked extremely hard to scoop Kirky first place. Well Done Guys!

Well back to our busy schedule. We'll post some photos soon to show off our fabulous enterprise.
