This week primary 7 room 19 have taken
part in so many exciting activities, here are
our thoughts on just a few of them...
On Monday, we started to make our classroom
privy. A privy is an outdoor toilet which was
used during WW2. The outer shed was normally
made of wood, and inside the toilet was very
basic and also made of wood. They used newspaper
as toilet paper and had to clean it out regularly,
making a compost heap behind! We have not yet
made the shed, but we have made the toiliet
which we created out of cardboard and a class chair.
This week some of the p7 girls have been doing
Indian dancing. We are practising for a dance festival
at George Square which is on Sunday the 1st of
November and it'll be exciting!
On Tuesday, we watched a history DVD about Pearl
Harbor for our WW2 topic and then later in the week
we went on to first sketch and then make German
U-boats using clay.
We also had a fire safety talk on Tuesday to make sure
that we will all be very responsible with fireworks
because Guy Fawkes night is coming up.
On Wednesday, the primary 7 football team won the
Bearsden and Milngavie football cup! It was held at
Garscube and our main rivals were Baljaffray as their side
were strong attackers. We got to the final and it was
against Baljaffray so we knew it would be tough. It was
0-0 at full time so it went to penalties. Harry made a great
save and so the game ended 3-1! We won!!
On Thursday night we had our Halloween disco. We
really enjoyed dancing with our friends under the colourful
spray from the bubble machine and dooking for apples.
We had a new healthier tuck shop this year with no sweets
and chocolate – our house captains and vice captains
worked really hard to make it a success. We had snacks
such as raisins and popcorn instead and everyone's
costumes were great! We will upload our photographs
very soon...!
On Friday we had a fire drill at lunchtime. Everyone
did really well getting to their class assembly point as
quickly as they possibly could.
What a great week we have had!!
