P7V are still finding their way around their new ‘homes’, but some of them have still found the time to add some great new posts. Just click on their wemmees.

Check them out below!

So it’s goodbye learnerblogs

We’ll update our class blog soon with the new links ….. meanwhile we’ll post some more of the messages we made to ‘advertise’ our new blogs. We had great fun making them

Miss Law was in our class for 10 weeks and yesterday was her last day

P7V organised a great party surprise party for her! Maryam was the photographer and we chose which of her photos best captured the special moments

 You can get a glimpse of the action in our video!

 A new bridge is being built in Scotland. You can read about it here .

Carronshore pupils were joined by some other local school children on Thursday and Friday of this week. Some employees from Jacobs Engineering and John McPartlin from the Institute of Civil Engineers helped us to build a bridge in our school hall.

Press play below to watch it being constructed. We even got to test it by walking across it!

Some of Primary 7V interviewed two of the visitors. 

The first interview was with Alan Segrott who is a civil engineer at Jacobs.

Primary 7V would like to say a great big THANK YOU to all team at Falkirk who helped us learn how to react to dangers that we might face in our daily lives.

Although it was scary, we think that we learned to meet all the objectives

We learned to:

Our video below shows just a small percentage of what we learned on our half day visit.

 Today we were lucky enough to have had a professional football player in class! Steven Ferguson plays for Stenhousemuir Football club and he talked to us about his career. Some of P7V asked him questions after his talk.

Press ‘play’ in the video below to hear the interview.

Most of the children in our class like to read, and so the people who do, formed a book club. We meet every Tuesday from 11:00am to 11:30am. We swap books and then the next week we tell the people about our likes and dislikes on that book.We have split the book club into two groups but sometimes we meet up as one.We usually read a paragraph of our favourite bits.You can take as many books as you want but you have got to keep track of who has your books. Then we ask anyone who wants our books and swap. Our clubs are called the Book Worms and in each club there is a Captain Worm. Jaydean is the captain of our club and Monica is the captain of the other.

This week we were all together and took pictures of our books and said our favourite parts then made them into a movie.You can see this on the blog. Soon we might start to fundraise so we can go shopping and buy books that the people in the club would like to read. If you borrow a book you have to put a sticky on it to say who it is. We have to get a variety of books because there are boys as well. Not just girly books . Not only we are just a book club but we write large stories. Maryam is the first to try this out and her story is fabulous.Here is a link to her wiki where you can read it.

Here is a video of some of us describing our favourite book, or reading an extract from it.

 Darcie has been writing some great posts – you can click on her ‘weemee’ to take you to her blog

She wrote:

I keep having these moment where i want to write something but go to write and can’t think of anything! Some days i have good ideas and make long posts but others i am siting staring at the screen thinking of what to write. At first i thought great a blog, somewhere to put my thoughts and feelings and i had millions of things i thought about putting on but know i am stuck on what to write about lol! But like don’t get me wrong i love writing as you can maybe see but i just have these days where nothing comes to my head . Well i suppose this is an idea for a post! Haha!!!!!!

Then she wrote:

“Have you ever wished you could do something or be someone? Well i have and i would like to share it. When i was young i always wished that i was famous but now i realise that they are just normal people but just have more money, as they have been very successful.

But now my mind has changed as i am older. I wish that i could fly and be invisible. I know it sounds weird but if you think about it’s quite cool . Anyway i think it would be great to be invisible and be able to fly as you could go ANYWHERE (and i mean anywhere) in the world!

If you could, comment back and say what you wish you could do or someone you wish to be!”

What a great post … and thank you Darcie for inspiring me to write a post, too.

I wonder if any other P7V’s have been struggling with what to write? Maybe Darcie is right … just go for it
