Reading Buddies

This last couple of weeks has seen the primary 7s help out the primary 1s by acting as reading buddies.

Cross Country

Here are some snaps from the P7s taking part in the WDC cross country festival.  The children done themselves proud.

Generation Science

Generation Science delivered an interactive show about renewable and non-renewable sources of electricity.

Circles

This week the children have worked with Miss McVey, looking at radius, diameter and circumference.

Bread experiment results

We have looked at what happened to our bread and concluded that many microorganisms exist on our hands as there was more mould on the bread that had been rubbed with the unwashed hands.

We also looked at what could have cause any unexpected results; like Jamie's bread where nothing happened. 

Microorganisms

The primary 7s have started investigating microorganisms and are in the process of conducting an experiment based around the build up of microorganisms on our hands.  This involved the children rubbing their hands on slices of bread - a strange but enjoyable experience for all.  We will keep you updated with the results.

Sports Visitors

This week the P7s had a visit from a Basketball coach and took part in a Nunchuck taster session.

Busy build up to Christmas.

The Primary Sevens have had a really busy few weeks.

 We have been to the Denny Tank to continue our work on renewable energy.

We have been carol singing at Tesco and Edinbarnet House.

The digital motivator has been back in, allowing the children to continue their work on their songs.

We have also had a visit from a reindeer.

STEM Activities

Recently, P7/6 were working together on making an earthquake-proof structure. Some attempts were more successful than others, but everyone worked well together and tried their best.

Earthquakes

As part of their new natural disasters topic, the P7s have been looking at the structure of our world, fault lines and how they result in earthquakes.  They also considered measures that can be taken to reduce the damage and impact of earthquakes; competing in a simulation to see who could protect a virtual city.
