Mrs Parsons from Denny High School shared lots of information with us on Tuesday! She showed us an example of a timetable and an interactive map of the school! We had lots of questions for her to answer too 🤔

Continuing with our science topic today in p7 🧪🧑‍🔬 we were testing different liquids to find out their ph levels. We then created our own ph indicator using red cabbage! 🥬

We continued our science topic with a fun experiment with water today! We discussed the water cycle and the importance of conserving water before we grew some rainbows 🌈

Our 3rd visit from Denny High Staff this week was a very exciting lesson from Miss Dawson from the Modern Languages department. She taught us all about Spanish colours and the Day of the Dead 🇪🇸

We loved using this app to develop our accuracy in recognising the size of different angles! Some pupils managed to guess the angle exactly! Impressive work!

We have been developing our skills in using a protractor to both measure and draw different angles! It was tricky at first but Primary 7 have shown great perseverance to master this skill! Well done! 👏🏻

To practice our understanding of personification we used the Chatterpix app to bring everyday items to life, sharing their thoughts and feelings! 😆
