Primary 7 have been reflecting on the changes that have occurred over the past 6 months. We discussed how although we have all be subject to the same restrictions, our experiences will vary between each individual. Along with talking through our feelings, we decided to express them using inspiration from different artists. We thoroughly enjoyed creating our work and we hope that you enjoy the final product!

First of all, we reflected on the surreal experience that was lock down. There were many different aspects, some of which we enjoyed and some not so much! Inspired by the art of Rene Magritte, we designed a piece of surrealism of our own.

Thereafter, we spoke about the losses and changes that were caused by the lock down. We imagined ourselves as boats in a storm and thought about the tool kits of resilience which we have to support us in times of change and uncertainty. Inspired by the art of Joseph Mallord William Turner, we painted our ships in the storm of change.

Finally, we spoke of the positive changes taking place and those we hoped for in the future. We likened this to the season of Spring and how new changes bring hope. We reflected that change is an inevitable part of life and we have all faced a huge change which we have experienced in our own ways. Inspired by the artist, Claude Monet, we painted and created our visions of Spring and hope.

Above is the link to our reflective week in Primary 7. If you have been unwell or self-isolating this week, you can have a look to see what the class have been doing and what you can practise or try at home.

Welcome back Primary 7! We are looking forward to seeing you this week.

For those of you who are coming in on Wednesday and Thursday I thought I would give you an idea of what we will be doing.

In the morning before break we will be learning some of our new routines in school, looking at how we will be staying safe and looking after each other and getting used to our new classroom. When you come back to school, you will notice that some things are a little bit different. This is to help everybody to be safe.

After this, we will have a chat and check in about how we are feeling now we are back at school. This year, we have a new break time and we shall have snack and time for a chapter of the new class novel before you go out to play.

After break, we shall work together to make up a new story and use our imaginations! Before lunch, we hopefully have time to play last person standing and wake up our mental maths!

In the afternoon, after lunch, we will practise our handwriting with some funny limericks. Then we will have an assembly, a virtual one! After that, we shall work together to create a beautiful new class display.

If you or parents and carers have any concerns or questions please contact the school. If you haven’t read through the Return to School letter please do so before coming in. There is a lot of helpful information in it that might answer some of your questions.

Looking forward to seeing you all!
