P7 Newsletter December 2012

For P7 Science we have been learning about the water cycle
and how it works. The water cycle is very interesting. One
amazing fact we learned was that the water we drink is about
8 billion years old!
We have been watching lots of videos that have helped us in
our Science assessment.

On the 9th of November P7 had a visit from a
musician named Peter. He brought in his tin
whistle and he played us a song. He asked us lots
of questions such , “what kind of music was he
playing?” , we answered “Celtic,” and it was
correct! He also brought in some leaflets to
inform us about the music lessons he takes.

At the moment, In language we are
writing several news reports. These reports
are linked to our visit to Kirsty Wark. We
wrote a report on the Gaza attacks and one about a fire
in Bangladesh. It was really interesting and when I
was writing them I felt like a journalist. I hope we get
more opportunities to write news reports as I really
enjoyed it—as did other children in P7.

On the 19th November we went to
Craigdhu Primary to see Kirsty Wark.
She told us about her job as a
Journalist and a Television Presenter.
She showed us how we would write an
interview and we all had questions to ask.
When she left we got to talk to the P7s
in Craigdhu so when we move
up to secondary, we will know
who they all are .

In the school we had a Halloween contest for
people who had the best costume.
Hamish and Bethany in our class won.
Hamish had a Dementor costume from Harry Potter
and Bethany dressed up as a witch. They both got a
certificate. Most of the class dressed up and the
money went to school funds.

On 23rd November, we had our school Toy Fair. Lots of
children brought in the toys they were finished with to
sell them off to help school funds. P7 and Pupil Council
helped to set up and man the stalls. They also helped the
younger children. This was a great responsibility for the
p7s but everything went as planned and they were very
helpful to the younger children. Every one had a great
time raising money for school funds.

In November our local MP, Jo Swinson, came into our class to have a chat with us about her daily
life and what Parliament life is like. Every class had a visitor in for World of Work week. We
were delighted Jo Swinson could visit us as this matched our topic ‘the Scottish Parliament’ very
well. It was very interesting listening to Jo Swinson as we really got a feeling of what it would be like to be
an MP. She answered all our questions—thank you for visiting our class!
