Timeline

We worked in our family groups to sort out a timeline for WWII. The timeline will now be displayed in class and there for our reference throughout the project.

Tatties

Primary sevens helped to dig up the St Andrews tatties on Friday. The cooks have been presented with a big box ready to cook for lunch!

P7 Logo Design Winner

Megan's logo has been chosen to be the P7 logo for 2014-2015. We had many creative and exciting designs but this one was voted as the favourite. Well done Megan, it shows many aspects of life in P7 and represents us well.

World War II Families

We have four 'families' in P7 at the moment - The Appleby, Dawson, White and Reynold families. We each play a character in our family and are learning about the events of WWII through their eyes. Here is a picture the White family have created of themselves. They are a farming family and dread the possibilities that they believe WW2 might bring.
In class we listened to the radio announcement from Neville Chamberlain telling us that we were at war with Germany. This was not good news and there was a distinct feeling of dread.

Challenger Bus

We had a very interesting session on the 'Challenger 4' bus about a Scottish lady who was called
Jane Haining. We learned a bit about the treatment of the Jews in WWII and how Jane had died in a concentration camp a heroine, selfless to the end.

World War II Leaders

We have been learning about the reasons  for World War II starting and about the leaders who were in power at the time. In class volunteers represented the leaders.

 The allied powers.
The 'Axis' powers.

Our Work of Art

We created this piece of art collaboratively - it signifies our uniqueness as individuals and strength together as a group.


Tag Rugby

We have enjoyed two sessions of tag rugby from Mark our coach. We have had lovely weather for both.
