The tangram is a traditional Chinese puzzle. There is a sheet with an out line on it. You have to put shapes on the sheet until they make the shape. You have a certain one for each day. You have the answers for it on the next sheet.
GP and HC especially like the tangram they do it most of the time.

For drama we made models out of big and small bottles. After that we took pictures and put them in Comic Life. We made a story out of them plus it was great fun. We made a scene for a book . We also based our drama on it. The book was called The Desperate Journey. You just have to take some pictures and put them on into Comic Life

On World Book Day we all made Mr Men books, either on our own or in pairs. It took us almost all day! We found that Mr Men books always had a catch at the end and almost every page started with the name of the Mr Man. This meant that we would have to match the author’s style.
When we finished we read them all to the primary 1-4 pupils. The Mr Men and Little Miss characters we created were called Mr Sporty, Mr Old, Mr Promise and Little Miss Confident. Primary 1-4 loved the books and in return we watched a puppet show performed by them.

Every year p7 have a project up in Oban High School to get used to Oban High and
what projects they assign.
Last year the p7s did French when they had to dress up.
This year the project is Technology and we have to make a recycled clock out of cd cases, teddy bears, wood and other things!
I am making my clock out of slate and lots of sequins, GP is making hers out of a teddy bear.
Tomorrow GP and I will go up to the High School and make our clocks.
I think it’ll be really fun, I can’t wait! KC

On Friday, the last day of term, it was Celtic day. We all dressed up as Celts. Then we went on the computer to find out about celtic houses. We had to build a house on the computer, it was fun. We made our own house out of willow bark and rushes. Then we went back to our classroom.
Then Cameron and Alfie told us a story about a Celtic myth. We sat on the floor around a pretend fire that the p7s had made. Then we got some food that we made before we had told the story. Then we started the story and so on we came to the end. It was 3o’clock and it was a fun day .We were all happy because it was the holiday.

We caught the bus in Taynuilt at five past nine. It is a three hour journey to
Newtonmore. When we got there we had an introduction from one of the instructors. our first activity was the village challenge we had to find questions E.G How many men fought and died in the first and second world war and lived in Newtonmore. After tea we went on a walk up a hill in Newtonmore. On the second day we did canoeing it was really fun. My favourite activites were rock/abseiling and rafting. In the rafting there was a rapid it was called the washing machine,if you ever see it you will know why.

We had our world book day on the 1st of March 2007. The theme was books from other countries or characters with a different nationality than our own. Lots of people came dressed up really well and it was really fun guessing what they were some of the costumes were Cowgirls, Aladdin, Zorro, Willy Wonka and Darth Vader. Mr Dickie came dressed as King Kong with the little doll and hairy feet but he didn’t actually have a suit. We wrote a story start on world book day. The primary 1-4 class started it and then sent it to Colonsay. They sent it to Saint Kierens in Campeltown and then they sent it to Tayvallich and then it got sent back to the primary 5-7 in Kilchrenan and we finished it. The School Board are going to decide what the name should be out of the thoughts we came up with, and which picture should be the front cover. The primary 4-7 class did banners to hang up in the class on one side it said the country and on the other side it said the country’s language.

We’ve got our wormery at school. We have about 200-300 worms and they lay cocoons every week with about 5 or 6 eggs. Wow!
We learned about Heart-Start. A woman called Angela McNeil came in and she was very kind. She came twice on two Wednesdays. The first Wednesday we used a telephone which linked to another one in a different room and we would talk to each other and pretend we were phoning an ambulance. That week was about accidents when the people are still conscious. The second week was about the recovery position and unconscious people. We learned that you can be unconscious but you can still be breathing.
