P7 News
P7 have had an interesting term. Science week was a huge hit. From the planetarium to examining rocks, the P7s experienced a whole range of STEM subjects and wrote up science diaries to keep track of the wide selection of activities. The“ Making IT Happen” session dovetailed with their“ Technologies” topic, where they were able to programme a computer game. Since then they were amazed by Dr Armstrong from the Fish Laboratory at Faskally, who showed them how his team merged science with technology and spoke to them about his own career linked the‘ World at Work’ programme. Finally, they have rounded off the term by creating their own web pages using html and CSS coding based on their“ Personal Project” homework. Keep your eyes peeled, we are hoping to have them available on the school website for you all to see!
Dinosaurs in P1!
This term Primary 1 have been learning about dinosaurs. We learned about the work of palaeontologists and made our own fossils. One morning we found a strange egg had apparently hatched in our classroom and although we followed the footprints on the carpet we couldn’ t find the baby dinosaur anywhere. This inspired us to write our own stories about what we think had happened.
We worked in groups to learn more about different dinosaurs. We have been sharing our learning with each other by presenting short talks and some of us have produced excellent visual aids to help with this.
