P7 Hallowe'en Party

P7C Music & Drama

After the BBC Ten Pieces experience Primary 7C looked at the Greig piece (In the Hall of the Mountain King) in a little more detail. They considered the effect of different instruments and of the dynamics of the music. 

In groups they created a short scene that would fit in with the novel we are reading (Holes, by Louis Sachar) and filmed it. They then used Garageband (on their iPads) to create music that would accompany the video, doing their best to make the music convey the mood of the story. Finally they pulled the video and the music together in iMovie to produce the following videos:

P7C Ghosts of War Poetry Workshop

Trying on the uniform that a World War One soldier would have been issued with:
 

We made lots of notes, some about the war memorial, some about the WW1 clothing and some about a person who was described in the museum. We then used these notes to create our poems.

Many thanks to our workshop leaders, Lorna and Ken.

P7 Silver Junior Award Scheme Scotland (JASS)

The Junior Award Scheme Scotland (JASS) is an accredited learning programme, celebrating wider achievement, for young people (P6-S2). Sciennes and Tollcross Primary Schools have been implementing this scheme since we piloted it in 2009. Pupils can aim for Bronze in P6, Silver in P7 and Gold in S1/S2 at James Gillespie's High School.

The concept emerged from a discussion during a Sciennes P7 visit to Lagganlia between Alice Brown, Gael Logan and Barry Hewitt who came up with the idea to set up a 'Duke of Edinburgh' style award scheme for upper primary pupils. The scheme has since been developed into a city wide programme.

There are three levels (Bronze, Silver and Gold), each requiring a higher degree of commitment. Each level also includes four sections to be completed, with a minimum of 12 hours in each to achieve Silver:

• My Interests - a hobby or interest
• Get Active, Stay Active - involvement in a sport or physical activity
• Me and My World - a community or environmental project
• Adventure - a teamwork challenge through involvement in an outdoor activity (e.g Lagganlia)

The scheme runs from the end of September until the end of the Easter holiday and pupils can begin planning how they will achieve their Silver award using this form:
