Termly Update: September 2010

The P7s are really excited about their final year in Bearsden Primary School and want to make it their best year yet!

Topic  The topic this term is WWII.  The classes will be using Reciprocal Reading skills to enjoy the book 'Carrie's War' by Nina Bawden.  An exciting theatre trip has also been planned to see a production of Carrie's War in Glasgow in November.  As part of the WWII topic, P7's RME will be looking at Judaism and Jewish Holocaust.

In Music, the P7s are also going to script, act and film their own music video based on classic WWII songs.

So far we have looked at the events leading up to the start of WWII, Hitler's background, 1939 and 1940.  We have been particularly enjoying researching evacuation and have made our very own gas masks and boxes as well as ID cards and name tags!

PE  Both classes will have PE on Fridays, Room 19 will have an extra PE session on Wednesdays and Room 20 on Mondays.

Election  Our House Captain elections were a great success again this year, with some really fantastic election speeches.  Well done to our new House Captains and Vice Captains and good luck for the year ahead!

Assembly  As ambassadors for the rest of the school, all P7s are expected to wear full uniform, shirt and tie for Friday assemblies.


We are going to have a great year in Primary 7 and we are all very much looking forward to all of the exciting things that we will be taking part in.  We hope to do our very best and end the year ready for our move to secondary school!
