Class Seven contributing to school life

This year, Primary Seven are taking on individual roles within the school to develop their skills and attitudes in a wide range of areas.  

We have started our work by creating information boards around the school.  Here we will share who is in the group and what we hope to achieve in our roles.

Class Seven working on with the Town Heritage Initiative

We are working on a project with the Town Heritage Initiative and Britt Harcus.  This piece of work will go on until Term Four and will culminate in the creation of a storybook.  

We have decided to focus on World War 2 in Kirkwall and began our research at the Wireless Museum.  The curator shared her knowledge about technology during that time and how it effected the people working and living in Orkney.

We have also been to the archives department at Kirkwall Library.  Here we discovered more information about the War and individuals in the town.  We made use of all the different materials the staff had looked out for us including maps, pictures, books and artefacts.  

We will keep the blog up to date with the next part of the project.

Badminton Taster Session

This week we had a badminton tester session. We did badminton challenges like running around the hall trying to keep the shuttle on the racket, sometimes we walked, sometimes we ran, sometimes we skipped, sometimes we sprinted. We also tried to see how many times we could hit the shuttle.
