Take a look at our amazing descriptions about this view! Well done R16! Excellent work! 👍🏼

Primary 7 Room 16 are learning how to write effective descriptions. We have used images of different views as a stimulus for this. Today we worked with our peers and created a shared plan. Take a look at some of our amazing work so far! 🤩

Well done A on completing all Swimming levels! It is great life skill to have 🏊🎉

Last week, as part of our World War II learning, we created news style videos reporting on the catastrophic attack on Pearl Harbor. 📽️🎬

A fun morning working with the sports leaders @stmungoshs.bsky.social

Room 16 are learning about a new genre in writing - descriptions. This week, we learned the difference between a simile and a metaphor. We have identified them used in spoken language, novels and even found them in the lyrics of some of our favourite songs! 👍🏼🙂 Great work P7!

🌟Celebrating Success at St Francis!🌟 We're so proud of our pupils and all they achieve, both in and out of school! Our Success Squad and monthly assemblies will celebrate these special moments. Nominate your child by Tuesday evening (link below) so they can be recognised at this week’s assembly 👏

Great fun yesterday making Halloween biscuits! 🧛🏼‍♀️🧛 have a wonderful Halloween weekend everyone!

These look good enough to eat! 😂 🧛

Halloween arts and crafts!

STEM activities! Fun Friday!

Some future engineers in the making! #STEM

Lots of STEM fun to end the term!

Have a wonderful, safe, fun, and restful October break! 🍂 Thanks for all your hard work this term, Primary 7, you’ve earned it! 👏🏼✨

We’ve loved learning about WW2 this term! Today we started exploring the planes of the war and even tried making some of our own. The wind was fighting against us during testing, which led to a great discussion about how the more powerful German engines made such an impact during WW2. ✈️🌬️

PE Session 2 completed at @stmungoshs.bsky.social! 💪 Thanks to Mr Costello and the senior sports leaders for organising and having us, we really enjoyed it. The buzz on the way back across the road was real! “I can’t wait for high school now!” 👏🏼❤️ Here are some clips of Group 2 ✨

We used the website Frankenstories for the first time to improve our sentence writing by focusing on accurate punctuation, strong vocabulary, and using similes and alliteration. We wrote and voted anonymously, and we can’t wait to use this tool to support our modeled and shared writing next term!✏️

A friendly reminder ROOM15 Miss Clarke’s class has PE at St. Mungo’s tomorrow morning. Please come dressed in full PE kit and bring full school uniform to change into.

Borrowbox is an online library where a huge range of ebooks and audio books are available to borrow. It's a fantastic resource that can be accessed using children's glow account details. . .A whole world of adventure at your finger tips. ❤️📚 blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/fa/LearningR...

We had a fantastic time at @stmungoshs.bsky.social for our first PE session with their senior Sports Leaders! It was loads of fun, and great to get a feel for what it’s like moving from period to period each day too. Huge thanks to everyone, we can’t wait for next week! 👏🏼⚽️🏀✨

A friendly reminder that R15 are going to St. Mungo’s for PE tomorrow. Please come in PE kit to school and bring *FULL* school uniform to change into.

Today was National Poetry Day. Room 15 wrote some acrostic poems about “Play”. We spoke about alliteration, similes, metaphors, rhyming patterns, emotion words and more! Phenomenal work ✨⭐️✨ Poets and they know it! #nationalpoetryday

R15 have had a fabulous time this week exploring shapes in real life. We planned first on our @connectedfalk.bsky.social devices using an app from “App Portal” & this website www.engineering.com/games/bridge... We tested our structures and adapted them. Triangles are so strong! 🔺

As part of our WW2 topic we learned about The Battle of Dunkirk and how it raised morale. Today we learned about propaganda and we made our own posters!

Putting our structures to the test! 🔺👍🏼🔺

Room 16 have been exploring the use of 2D and 3D shapes in the real world. We have studied various well known buildings, structures and landmarks and realised they all had one shape in common…TRIANGLES! But why!? Take a look at the results of our investigation…

Lots of interesting discussions about how our world was created. The young people were really engaged and asked mature and sensible questions. 🌍

We were vehicle designers today. We had to use budgeting and some of us were so good we had money left over, some of us went over budget and had to adapt our plans. We then used the ‘notes’ app to build our cars screenshotting the different parts and adding them together! #mathweekscot

We took part in #mathsweekscot Adobe live lesson and used the drawing tool to draw Inveraray Castle. We also explored the rotational symmetry tools and will use these later in the year! 🌟

For outdoor PE, R15 used the star writers procedure texts and tried to play their games that they had created and written instructions for. We all agreed that the labelled diagrams made them much easier to follow 🌟

Well done to A, who received The Shining Star award for our class. A girl who shows kindness and love to all! ✨💖💕

We completed the challenge and here is the end result! @mathsweek.scot We also learned that sometimes we need to improve our design to get things to work!

We are joining a live lesson with Developing the Young Workforce and Edinburgh Zoo as part of Maths Week Scotland. We are seeing how math is used in the zoo. #mathweekscotland

It is Scottish Maths Week! We looked at how different jobs use maths. Today we were “restorers.” We had to use our measuring and problem solving skills to make a lantern! There was lots of improving and correcting our mistakes. Look out for the finished products!

Well done for all of your hard work during Snapshot Week! Enjoy sharing your learning with your families and please return jotters once they’ve been signed by an adult on Monday 👏🏼😊❤️

We are learning to play rhythms with accuracy with Mrs. Webster🎶🥁 A song for Sunday evening 🎤 @stmungoscreate.bsky.social (Mrs. Webster)

Room 15 have been working on procedure writing. During outdoor PE today we worked on our games that we have been creating ahead of shared writing next week in groups.Although, some of us may try & challenge ourselves with independent writing.We thought about the materials, steps & imperative verbs.

We took part in a STEM activity to make a “gas mask” then we spoke about how it felt to wear someone over our face. I think we are glad we weren’t children during WW2

We were excited to welcome pupils from St Mungos today. They told us about the exciting times we have ahead of us when we join next year! #hwb #transition @stmungoshs.bsky.social

We are learning to play rhythm’s with accuracy 🎶

Room 15 have been diving into the Procedure genre by inventing our own playground games to test out when undertaking buddy duties 🎲🤸 We’ve been planning the “materials” and steps before writing instructions. Real-world problem solving and instruction writing planning in action!
