Welcome to the P7A class blog!
Bikeability
Thank you to our parent helpers for 6 weeks of road awareness and safety training. We received our certificates today and are all set to cycle with confidence now.
P7 Carnival
We were so proud of our P7 leaders today, running stalls for the other classes as their P7 Leavers Carnival! We had face and nail painting, a letter hunt, a feely box, arts and crafts as well as basketball and Beat the Goalie! Some of our classes were sad to leave after their slot. I was particularly impressed at how our P7s made the younger children feel, celebrating their attempts and successes so enthusiastically. A great way to start Leavers Week.

19.05.22 Term 4 Week 5 Learning
We considered what it meant to be a global citizen and how our UNCRC rights link in with being "world minded". We need to "Learn, Think and Act." We made a rights passport and selected rights we felt reflected being a good global citizen.
We were trying to use Caesar shift wheels to decode World War 2 messages. It was tricky and we worked together to solve the puzzles.
Meet some new additions to P 7A
Thank you to Parent Council for the money they give each class. We decided to get some ours on getting 2 fish as class pets! Welcome to Fish and Chips!

Dress To Express 11.2.22
We all enjoyed wearing our comfy, cosy clothes today to celebrate our Children's mental health week. We have written metaphor poems about someone we know who helps us to grow when we feel worried, anxious or just need someone to talk to. This supports our mental health development and resilience. It's safe to say, I'm not okay.
Who Helps Me Grow?
It's safe to say
I’m not ok
My dad knows and helps me grow
He’s a hot summer's day
He’s a Friday sensation
He’s a comfortable bean bag
He’s is a freshly poured pint of lager
He’s a piece of caramel melting in your mouth
He’s a smart suit with a shirt and tie
He’s the warm water in Greece
He’s an ape in the water
He’s Fifa 22 that I could play forever
He’s a bowl of spicy chilli
He’s a football coach’s blue whistle
It’s very safe to say
I'm not ok.
UNCRC Article 12
I have the right to be listened to and taken seriously
Time To Talk 9.2.22

It's beginning to feel like Christmas in room 16!
We had a super Christmas lunch on Friday 10th December and we even scoffed some sprouts! We are up and running with our Christmas crafts so look out for some home deliveries next week.
Today P7A thought about how they can respect their own, and other people's, boundaries while enjoying time online.
Christmas crafts continued in the Elf Workshop.
BSL Recording
We were all looking festive for our attempt to record our BSL song for release on Friday 17th December, It might not make it to No. 1 but we have enjoyed making it!
A few pictures from the last couple of Mondays in P7A.
Steven Brown inspired artwork.
Budgeting for Christmas gifts in problem solving.
Working on being the best versions of ourselves in Health and Wellbeing.
We have been having some very mature discussions about online relationships and self image in Digital Citizenship sessions.

Term 2 Topic Drugs Education
We have started our next topic: Drugs Education.
We have looked at how harmful cigarettes are to our bodies and some of the reasons people smoke. We watched some adverts from the 1950s, 1960s and 1980s. Attitudes towards smoking have changed over the years.
Well done Ava!
Congratulations to Ava for her prize winning entry to the Learning For Sustainability logo competition held last session.
Pupil of the Month

Anti Bullying Week Nov 15 - 19 2021
We watched an animated poem called " To This Day" which shared the true story of how name calling can cause hurt and low self esteem, even into adulthood. The theme for this week was One Kind Word. We shared some kind words about each other.
Pr 7A Term 2 2021 Learning Overview.docxOutdoor Classroom Day 4.11.21
We used outdoor materials to for some problem solving today. We tried the classic puzzle of The Tower of Hanoi.
The aim of the puzzle is to move all the leaves into another square so they end up in the same order with the largest leaf on the bottom and the smallest leaf on top. There are some rules to follow.
Firstly only one leaf may be moved at a time.
You may only move the top leaf on a pile. It must be moved to one of the other squares.
No leaf may be placed on top of a smaller leaf.
Some great teamwork and collaboration in evidence!
Term 2
We recommend that pupils have a change of socks and take indoor shoes please. The change of shoes can be left at school. We have gymnastics for PE and indoor shoes also help to maintain a clean classroom carpet . Thank you
Outdoor Classroom Day - Maths
This morning, Mrs Scotson's maths class took part in Outdoor Classroom day, using natural materials to play Nim. The idea of the game is to take either 1, 2 or 3 of the playing pieces away at a time until your opponent is left with the last piece. Our pairs worked out their own strategies to make sure they won each time. Then, we played a whole class tournament to determine our Nim champion.
Term 2 Week 2 Forest of Promises
Each class has been asked to design a tree and attach some climate action promises on the leaves. We have used some of the lost property, some of the washed crisp packets and some scrap paper to make our "Lost Propertree." We have reused all the materials for our tree.
We have made our pledges to make a difference to the environment. Let's hope we can keep them!
7.10.21 Climate Acrostic Name Poems

Art Term 1 Week 8: Climate Change and Cauliflower Cards
Keep an "eye" out for our super art work coming home soon. We are participating in our annual Cauliflower Christmas cards fundraiser. We have designed our cards and will be popping them in our schoolbags before the end of this week. If you wish to order then please return the form and original by FRIDAY 29th OCTOBER. Payment is made online and direct to Cauliflower cards. Thank you for supporting us in this way.
Mrs Munro has been working on some line drawing linked with climate change. We added words linked with climate change around our drawings.
Term 1 Topic - Climate Change and Action
We have tried to have our own "mock* C.O.P. over the past few weeks. We were in groups and were working as different countries. We researched information about our countries linked with sustainability and climate change. We discussed what our countries could do to adapt or mitigate to climate change. We made pledges to each other to improve our actions and donations to the Climate Change Fund (if necessary) We became aware that climate change can affect the poorer countries most, although they are not the countries making the most significant impact to affect climate change.
The tasks were challenging, but this has given us a better understanding of what will happen next month at the real world event , C.O.P. 26, in Glasgow.
We are trying to understand "climate justice." It is those in poverty, in any country, who are often most affected by the effects of climate change. Poor quality housing situated near industrial sites, lack of money to pay for house or medical insurance, unemployment etc are some factors which can cause inequality and inequity when dealing with the consequences of climate change.
We received a letter from Mother Earth last week. She told us of the pain she is in and how she is coping with how we are treating the planet. We wrote back to her to reassure her of how sorry we are and what we are trying to do now to compensate and change.
01.10.21 Me and My Rights My Rights at Home
We discussed why having rights at home were important. We shared some ideas for what those rights might be.
UNCRC Articles
Article 5 You have the right to be given guidance by your parents and family.
Article 16 You have the right to a private life
Article 18 You have the right to be brought up by your parents, if possible.
Article 27 You have the right to a good enough standard of living. This means you should have food, clothes and a place to live.
We also chose one of our own.
Litter Duty Term 1 Week 7

1.10.21 Term 1 Reading
We are enjoying our novels this term and have worked on summarising skills, answering a range of questions about the text and getting into the reading group routine 3 times a week.

We are also getting ready for our visit to the STEM Hub next Thursday. Please remember to take a packed lunch.
30.08.21 - Problem Solving
On Monday, P7A worked in groups to plan, budget and build a bridge to hold toy cars. They had limited resources and a strict budget. We tested the bridges and then spent some time thinking about the skills that were used and what could have been done to improve the bridges.
Class Charter 27.08.21
We selected 6 UNCRC articles to go on our charter to show participation, education, having a voice and keeping healthy. We displayed it with flowers, butterflies and leaves.
17.08.21
