⭐️💫Welcome to Mr McVeigh's💫⭐️
Primary 7 class.
📚
Our Fourth Topic
P7 Term 2B - Bridges
We will learn about the great bridges and structures of the world!
We have learned of the great inventions of the Victorian era and this links with our new topic.
We will learn about the development of engineering feats and the key components in considering the need for bridges and structures, a suitable site, the impact on the locality, cost, structural needs and the type of construction. These structures should be beautiful, functional and safe. We will study aspects of technical drawing and look at the Eiffel Tower and the shapes used in its construction and design. We will research different types of bridges and their key features. We will gain knowledge of what it means to be an engineer and find out some of the aspects of this career path.
We will study famous engineers, such as Gustav Eiffel, and their great works. We will think about the impact of these great structures and bridges and how they have changed the lives of people throughout the world.
🏀🏈🏓 P.E. ⚽️🎾🏐
In P.E. our focus will be on dance - our teachers will teach us the basics of line dancing and other forms of dance. We will think about rhythm and musicality, as well as sequencing movement and motion with our bodies.
Indoor P.E. will take place on Monday mornings.
Our outdoor session is every Friday morning (weather permitting) so make sure you have a coat.
Please make sure to wear appropriate P.E. gear and footwear on those days.
Swimming: more information will follow.
🎶🎻🎷 Music 🎷🎻🎶
In Music we get into the groove by exploring rhythm and melody in singing, movement and dance. The children learn about beat, syncopation, pitch and harmony and take a trip around the world to celebrate the universal language of music.
🙏🏻 R.E. : Handing on the Catholic Faith
For those who take part in Grow in Love - the Religion Programme for Study for Catholic Schools - we will be learning about the Prophets of the Old Testament and the nativity of Jesus.
