Another great week in the life of P7 Room 19...
Wahoo! We finally finished our WW2 garden privy!
It looks good enough to use and it even has it's own
toilet paper...awesome!! (If you like the feel of
newsprint that is!!) Updates to follow on our
“Privy Room” adventures!
This week we painted our German U-boats which
look amazing! It was lots of fun but very messy :)
U-boats were German war submarines which went
under the surface of the water.
We have also been making paper Japanese aircraft
to represent the attack on Pearl Harbor; the
significant point during WW2 which caused the
US to enter the war. We have started to hang them
up around the classroom.
Work on our WW2 personal project began this
week too. We had to email Mrs Russell our
introductions so she could give us feedback. In
language we learned how to skim text in books
and online to help us understand the meaning
of a source quickly and allow us to decide
whether it would be useful to us in our research.
We started learning a bit about the Holocaust
and how Anne Frank was involved. We began
making Holocaust Journals... a bit like Anne
Frank's diary!
Our evacuation letters are almost finished now.
We had to write them in the old style handwriting
which was difficult but looks great! We can't believe
that's how people used to be taught how to write!!
The letters 'f, s, r, h and k' were favourites!
Some of the girls in primary 7 have been getting
together at lunchtimes to start planning a dance
for the Bearsden and Milngavie dance festival.
It's for primary seven girls, and they have to
make up a dance and choose some music and then
make up a dance and choose some music and then
perform it at Milngavie Town Hall on Monday
the 30th of November. There are ten girls in the
dance group and they are working with Catriona
dance group and they are working with Catriona
Sheilds who is helping a bit with the dancing and
supervising. It's really fun and it's a nice way to
spend a cold lunch time!
In other news, we finished watching a dvd about
racism on Monday with Mrs Monkman, and on
Wednesday we played a great game in the gym called
“Cat and Mouse” with Mrs Russell... it was hilarious!
And finally... a huge well done to the Indian Dance girls
who performed at George Square last weekend. It
was a cold and wet day, but they carried on regardless
and brought home trophies for all their hard work!
Photos to follow we hope...!
Sayonara ;) !

You guys have been SO busy! There must be 6 days in the P7 week to make room for all that fun learning.
I'm fascinated by the toilet. Do you have some good reading material in there. My favourite loos are always the ones with a big pile of comic books or magazines beside them. That could be a boy thing!
Is a privy room a toilet from world war 2?
Thanks for the comments guys!
Jack - yeah, a privy is an outdoor toilet which you had to share with the spiders! Most people had one during WW2... usually found at the bottom of the garden, with bits of newspaper instead of loo-roll and a compost heap behind! Eugh!!
Mr M - you might want to read our "loo-roll", it is very informative!
