P7 Learning Blog – Week Beginning 30th August 2021

This week in P7…

On Monday we wrote our imaginative stories about a lost sword. We all tried very hard.

On Tuesday we met our new hometeams. It was very fun and it was noisy. We made shields and put our team names on it with our names.

On Wednesday we had music with Mrs Mailer. We were practising our rhythms using a video on youtube. Then we had Ms Ferguson. Now, we have Ms Ferguson on Wednesdays. We were converting 24 hour to 12 hour time. Then after lunch we had Miss McKay again and we did some ICT. We made fact files about Flora MacDonald. Flora MacDonald helped Bonnie Prince Charlie flee from Scotland.

On Thursday we did PE with Miss Gordon. We did some four square and practised volleyball. It was very fun and enjoyable.

On Friday we did French with Mrs Ballantyne. We were learning school subjects in french!

P7 Learning Blog – Week Beginning 23.8.21

vikingshieldP7 have had a tiring week back at school because it has been their first full week in almost 2 months!

The most exciting part of the week was when we met our P1 buddies because we weren’t sure if we would get them or not (they’re so cute as well). 

We made cards for them and went outside to read a book that we all chose for them. We went in the sunshine and it was lovely.

We started planning our learning about the Jacobites which is our new topic for the term. We learned about how it started and some of the battles. 

In Art this week we were doing our self-portraits which included shape, shading and colouring.

The thing that we are most excited about is the reading groups because it has been a very long time since the last time we did them and we might have new ones!

P4 Aboriginal Art and Music

P4 have been developing their learning about Australia by learning about the Aboriginal people.  We looked at their beautiful artworks and created our own in the same  style.  We also listened to some Aboriginal music and looked at their handmade instruments.  We had a go at making our own clap sticks using our woodworking skills.  We cut our wood to size carefully using a saw, smoothed the wood using sandpaper and then decorated them in a traditional style.  Next we have to learn how to play them!  Great work P4.

How deep is the ocean? Find out in P4

P4 have been learning about the depth of the ocean as part of our Great Barrier Reef project.  We have been learning about the different layers of the ocean and some of the amazing creatures that live there.  We created the ocean layers in a jar – see Google classroom if you want to try this at home – it can be a bit messy!

We have also been learning about how fish defend themselves against their predators.  Fish have a variety of ways to fool their enemies, such as black eye, camouflage, moving in schools and poisonous stingers!  We created our own beautiful fish to add to our growing barrier reef.

Sentence Stacking in P4

P4 have been busy over the last few weeks working on their writing skills.  We have used the short film Blue Umbrella as inspiration for our writing.  We have created our own version of the story and each day we add sentences from our work to our sentence stacking wall so we will have a class version too.  We have been learning to write action sentences, feeling sentences and sound sentences and we have developed our writing techniques by using similes, onomatopoeia and alliteration.  One more writing session to go to finish our fabulous story – we are so proud of our work!
