At the beginning of the term, Primary 7V were asked to come up with ideas for wall displays. The classroom is now beginning to look great. Every group came up with very ‘ECO’ friendly posters. It’s great that they wanted to share important messages like looking after ourselves and our planet. You can see the posters in the slideshow below. Just press the little arrow to view.
Primary 7 have had their individual blogs for almost a week now. Up until now, they have been getting used to them and have been experimenting with all the ‘buttons’ and ‘widgets’, etc.
For homework this week, they were asked to write about a hobby. They were given the choice of writing in their homework jotters on on their new blog.
Already, some of them felt confident enough to write directly on to their blog. Click on the names below to have a look. Feel free to leave a comment on their new blogs (although these might not appear straight away!)
What a busy 4 days we’ve had. You can visit the new Individual Blogs by clicking here
It made me smile when I read Nina’s post on her new blog. She wrote,
‘Hello,my name is Nina and i am in P7V at Carronshore Primary School.I think P7 so far is good we are not doing an awful lot of work though.’
I think you all worked VERY hard! In just 4 days:
You produced ‘wow factor’ wall displays (photos on here soon!)
Everyone can now log in to their individual blog, change their password, add sidebar widgets, write a post, comment on other blogs, change the themes …. and more!
Some pupils can now use the mp3 players and make podcasts using ‘Audacity’. Their Vokis look great!
We made a start on the ‘Australia Topic’.
You had Music, Art and French …… and loads more, too!
Next week the formal timetable begins …. maths all Monday morning - I’ll try not to make it seem too much like hard work!
Danni, who left Carronshore to go on to Larbert High School, has posted a lovely comment on this blog. You can read it below:
“Hi Mrs Vass I had a great day at high school it’s brilliant. I love high school and all the new things you can do!! P7 I hope you have a great year in p7 It’s probably the best level in primary school . Enjoy p7 and make the blog as good as you can! I think you will love going to high school and it’s not scary at all but you might have nerves , on the first few day but it will go away after you meet loads more friends!!
Make the last year the best year at primary!!
From Danni
I like your ideas Mrs Vass and I wont forget you!!”
We hope that Danni keeps in touch and that she can find the time to post on her blog so that we can follow her progress in High School!
Marc has already added a post to his blog to let us know how things are going. You can read it here:
It was my first day back at school and it was really good. It was scary on the first day. I had lots of subjects and lots of nice teachers. I hope I like Larbert High School for the rest of my years their. I’m missing Carronshore P.S already I will keep on blogging when i’m in High School. Hope to speak to you soon, bye.
Maybe our new Primary 7 have some questions they’d like to ask you both :)
Yesterday was our first day in Primary 7 and we brainstormed on paper how we use computers at home and at school. We rated the programmes on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 meant we didn’t rate it very much, 5 meant it was great. Adam’s is shown below.
We all agreed that, in general, we enjoyed using our computers at home more than at school. We wrote statements to add more information.
Adam wrote, “The reason the computer at home is better than the computer at school is because nothing is blocked.”
Rhiann wrote, “The stuff we have to do at school on the computers is a bit boring so I think home is better.”
Nobody enjoyed using computers at school as much as they did at home ……… oh dear! I wonder how we can change that!
I’ve had a very relaxing break and I feel rejuvenated - check out my message below to see how I’ve benefited from the rest. You’ll hardly recognise me
…….. and welcome back, too, to all our Blogging friends from around the globe. I’m looking forward to the completion of our ‘Australia Topic Wiki’ project carried over from last session - our first priority!
I’m almost at the end of my Charter Teacher course - has it really been 4 years already? I’m hoping to complete it this year …… with your help, Primary 7. I’ve decided to write about our use of Blogs and Wikis and I would like you to take more control over how we use them. I’ve been thinking about some projects and I’ve listed them below.
How about a School Magazine? Click HERE to see rough example of what I have in mind.
An ‘All About Carronshore’ wiki that anyone can edit and add to sounds like it could be interesting and could involve pupils, parents as well as others in the community. I’ve set one up HERE
Finally, what about the idea of a ‘Passion Project’? I read about this in another school blog, but I’m sorry that I can’t remember where! The idea is that you ‘blog’ about anything you are really passionate about and gather as much information about the subject as you can. You’ll then share it with the rest of the class by presenting the information on our interactive whiteboard.
These are a few ideas to get us started this session. I hope there’s something there to interest you
