Primary sevens busy week

Not only did we have two hours of P.E but we also had a taster  session of the Triathlon Scotland club and the Cluster Legacy games at St. Augustines so as you can probably tell Primary Seven had a very busy week.

On Tuesday the 25th of August we had our Triathlon Scotland club taster which involved  a game in which you had to try and get your shoes on as fast as you can and then get back to the line before everyone else.We also played a game that was very similar but instead of shoes you had to put on a bike helmet and belt  then run to the end of the field with a bike, run back to the middle of the field take the stuff of and go back to your team. Last of all we had to go in and out of the cones running with a bike in a race against the other teams which we all enjoyed doing because it was very active and much better than sitting down in class.

Then on Thursday the 27th of August we had the Cluster games at St. Augustines which was definitely the highlight of our week . We were all split up into Commonwealth countries there was South Africa, Wales, Scotland, England,  Figi,  Jamaica, Cameroon and New Zealand. There was also  different stations you competed in your teams like tug of war, speed jumping, long jump, shot put, races, and last of all a relay race. All the scores were added up and the winning countries were New Zealand in third place,South Africa in second place  and Wales in first place but unfortunatly only the team that came first got a medal though it is all about  taking part and having fun which everyone did.











A Service of Rembrance by Emily

Since the start of term we have done many other fun and educational activities such as our World War II topic which we have not long since started. We started to read a book called the Silver Sword its a book on World War II, it is not all not true but there is a little bit that is true. We have done some activities based on the book like summaries and character descriptions.

In our World War II topic we also made our own memorial service for those who fought in World War II we had someone read a chapter from the Bible (Romans 8: 31-29) and the we all lit candles to remember those who died so that we could live. After we had another two people read the poem, An Ode Of Remembrance and then blew out the candles and finished our class memorial service.

As well as these two topics we have also done the interviews for p7 jobs (eccept P1 buddies) such as library assistant, assembly monitor and so on. We wrote letters of application and filled in forums and then we did interviews with Mrs Lorry. P1 buddies are still to be interviewed.

Our Class Charter by Emily

The new p7 class, as well as the rest of the school have been busy at work with our class charters and learning about our rights and responsibilities. In the P7 class we matched right to the responsibilities that go with them. We also looked at U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child. Afterward, we chose the rights that are most relatable to our classroom, e.g. You have the right to a good quality education. Next we wrote our own responsibility to go with the rights we chose, the one we did for the example of a right  The one we used for the example I just gave was, I will try my best and ensure I do not take it for granted. After we had made our class charter, we made a power point on it and presented it in assembly and our class charter was complete.

WW2 by Finn

We started our WW2 topic by doing a KWL grid. We wrote down what we know and what we want to know.

Here are some things we know:

• The war started in 1939 on the 3rd of September and it finished on the 18th of August 1945.

• The amount of people killed during the war was 72 million, 13 million of them were killed in camps.

• Also Hitler was in charge of Germany and Winston Churchill was in charge of Britain.

That was what we knew and this is what we want to learn:

• We want to learn about the children during the war.

•  What was the cause of the war.

•  Also how many countries fought during the war.

Here's part of our KWL plan

Welcome to the Class of Primary 7 - 2015 - 2016

P7 is looking forward to an action-packed year of learning and preparing for our transition to High School Year. We'll have fun along the way but we'll work hard and as always will do our best.
