Christmas Time

In Primary 7a, we love Christmas time! Miss McCurdy is so impressed with how well we learned our Christmas song...in Latin! On Friday we managed to get it just right and we are now really looking forward to the Christmas Concert next week. Remember your reindeer and angel constumes everyone :0 ) We are going to be doing lots of Christmas themed activities. For example, next week we will be completing a cooperative challenge to create a new verse for 'Jingle Bells'. We will be learning all about Christmas Symbolism and giving each other some special gifts.

Our class is strating to look a little different as we have been busy getting ready to move back to our new and improved Kirklandneuk. There are certainly things we will miss about our current building, such as our 60 stair climb :) We can't wait to return to our former building and we are keen to take on the responsibility of helping our buddies to settle in.

We have learned all about Japan this term and had the chance to look at interesting artifacts. Miss McCurdy and Primary 7 would like to thank Mrs Deeghan for allowing us to have these- they have really enriched our learning. We have also had the opportunity to learn about martial arts and have participated in Kendo and Karate sessions. A huge thank you to Mr Harrison and his colleagues for helping us with our topic.

Our pictures of this term's learning and our Christmas Concert will be coming soon. For now, Primary 7a and Miss McCurdy hopes that all our readers are enjoying the lead up to the Festive Season : 0 )

Talented with Teachnology

We know in Primary 7 that the best way to learn is to do it together. In Technology we have been creating structures, including some towers made from spaghetti and Jelly Babies. Mrs Sloan put us into teams to make slave shapes, with the challenge of making them float. It was great fun and you will be glad to know that in most cases the crew (or our lego figures) survived!

This Term we are looking forward to learning all about Japan. We will be creating our learing plan this week. We will also be exporing energy and learning about alternatives to fossil fuels. We will end the term by finding out all about Christmas Symbolism.

We are looking forward to Parents Evening, the Christmas Fayre and performing at the Christmas Concert. Have a look at our pictures!

Tennis

What a nice afternoon Primary 7a had at the Robertson Park. After weeks of perfecting our tennis skills, we took to the courts to play a proper game. Miss McCurdy was so impressed by our serve, as well as our return shots. The fact that the sun shone made the afternoon all the more enjoyable.

As the end of term approaches, we are looking forward to the End of Term Reward :) We have a fun challenge to complete this Friday, but Miss McCurdy has decided to keep it a surprise. This week we will also be completing lots of Science experiments in order to explore the Structure of the Earth.

Qualities

In Primary 7a, we know how imporatnt it is to set a good example. Have a look at how responsible we are in class!

A captive audience

Welcome to Primary 7

Well we've made it...all the way to the top of the school! What an exciting year it's set to be. So far we have already hosted the first whole school assembly. Miss McCurdy was so proud of us all for learning our lines and singing beautifully. Thank you to all our family and friends who helped us at home and those who came along to see the performance.

As well as practising for our assembly, we have also been busy with our new roles as Primary 7. We have been helping our P1 buddies settle into Kirklandneuk by reading stories and helping them at lunch. As the weather hasn't been the best, we have also been getting to know our Wet Weather Classes. We are really happy to have so many responsibilities and this is set to continue as we assist at Parent Run Library and run the Primary 7 club.

We have also created our learning plan for social subjects and Miss McCurdy is teaching us all about slavery. This term we are set to have fun experimenting in Science, as we encounter space exploration- no consents needed :)

Now that our class are all settled in, we have agreed on our rules, class charter and qualities. We are all looking forward to the year ahead!
