The Simpsons come to Law Primary? September 26, 2007
Posted by smacniven in : Term 1 2007/08 , 18commentsAll P7 classes will be involved in the “gene jury” this week. A debate and discussion about genes and how and why we are the way we are. Great discussions have raged and so many questions asked and answered. Pupils were asked to think about the idea of “designer babies” and how they could be made and indeed if they should be made! A very interesting workshop indeed! The pupils will share what they thought and learned here.

- Assemblies: you could do your own ‘Be Safe, Be Seen’ fashion show.

Fun Maths Road Show September 13, 2007
Posted by Law Upper in : Term 1 2007/08 , 4commentsToday we had a fun maths road show. We were split into four groups, set 1, set 2, set 3, and set 4 the challenges were varied and they were very hard.There was about 25 challenges per set. It was a great day and we all enjoyed it.
There was a game called building up dominoes.You had to match the dominoes so the numbers were the same.
Another game was you had different shaped cards.Then you had to fit them together to make a sqaure.It was quite hard because all the card pieces were different.
