A.R.C. Tell the World

Primary 7’s were doing a Fashion Show with Harris Academy and were designing clothes out of recyclable rubbish. They worked very hard and only had 2 days to design their outfits. Luckily they had finished and were sent off. We finally got the results it was two fashion groups from P7a and one from P7b. On the 28th of October it was the day for the all of the final designers to go down to Harris Academy. They had thirty minutes to design their outfits then had to model them down the cat walk. In the end Park Place Primary won the fashion show. Well-done to all the finalists they did really well.

Mrs. Paton has been coming into school to see the P7’s and teach them about advertising. We discussed what we thought made a good advert and came up with different suggestions like: loud, colourful, entertaining and maybe uses a recognisable character or celebrity. Then we looked at some adverts and talked about whether we thought they were effective and we all gave our unique opinions. After that we looked at some adverts from world war two, they were made by the Ministry of Food. Next we compared two adverts, one made this year, one made in world war two. Finally we made posters using world war two advertising slogans like: Walls Have Ears, Enemy Rats and Your Country Needs You.

P7 have been writing a story of their own choice and a lot of them were about World War 2.
Some people wrote a story about Carla and the Dragon’s Claw. We did this all morning and a lot of people wrote a planning sheet to help them remember what they were going to write on their draft.
Some people are stuck and don’t know what to write in their story.
Some are finished their story.

Primary 7b are piloting a game called ‘Easilearn The Island’. Easilearn is a good site as it teaches you as you play the game. There are lots of activities like, finding the missing dog, Patch, looking for treasure, building a new home and many more.
Easilearn teaches you about good and bad places to live. We are getting judged on who had the best island. When we have finished piloting Easilearn it will be downloaded on every school computer in Dundee we hope.
Next term during our Easilearn time important people will be coming in to our class to see how we are getting on. After our time on Easilearn we have a discussion on Glow about what our group has done and what we have learned.

Famous Scots
Our project right now is about Scots who helped shape the world .Both 7a and 7b are involved in this project. Everybody in both classes got two people to research and they had to design the page and also layout the page.This is to help any other schools from around the world doing Famous Scots.
We are putting it on the school web site and we should have some people on soon. We will have links to some other web sites of the people we are doing and hopefully that will help other pupils with their projects.
We are aiming to make a web site that when you go on it you don’t just click off it because it has a lot of writing. We are making it colourful not only in black and white.
We hope people from all around the world will want to look at our pages to help the with their school work and homework.
It will be on our school website and named under Scots who helped Shape the World. When you click on that you will come to an index page of all the scots we have done with their names and dates of when they were born and when they died.
Once everybody has put two people on we are guessing that there will be about 150 scots on our web site.

Primary 7s went to Saftaysiders as one of their school trips. We had a very good time. We learnt the importance of safety and it was a fun and educated way to learn to keep safe.
