Using the 'Keynote' program on their iPads, each student created their own app to demonstrate their understanding of our physics experiments.
Continuing their physics experiments, students investigated the forces of gravity and friction upon moving objects.
Primary 7 developed their confidence speaking aloud in front of an audience by reciting their Scottish poems as part of Burns Day.
P7B have started their Physics investigations by exploring how magnets work through a series of experiments!
Primary 7 have created their own newspaper articles using their class novel Tribes!
We first discussed the features of a newspaper, then drafted our own article using success criteria.
We then reviewed feedback given and applied this to our redrafted final version on our iPads, using formatting tools to create a headline, columns and a picture with caption.
A very professional job by some aspiring journalists! 🌟 📰
'Build a Better Future' interdisciplinary learning...
L.I: To gain an understanding of different renewable energy sources!
Using the drama technique of 'hot-seating', students interviewed various characters from the novels they are reading!
P7B have been using the film 'Inside Out!' as a stimulus to write their own poems about emotions.
We discussed the five character emotions - Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear - and considered how they had been portrayed. Then we thought about how we can use imagery such as similes and metaphors to help describe these for a reader.
P7 then created some amazing poems which were redrafted using their school iPads. As part of this, we learned about line formatting, highlighting and colouring text, plus adding pictures to a Word document.
The poems are now on display in school - have a look at three outstanding examples below. We hope you enjoy!🤩
All Primary 7s watched an assembly from the NSPCC focused on helping children stay safe.
P7 showed off their MASSIVE improvement in teamwork by completing a series of tough challenges during their final week before the October holidays!
