Shame, by Tracey Blance
There’s a girl at school
we teased today;
made jokes, called her names.
My friends all laughed,
called it harmless fun,
said it was just a game.
Now I’m at home
feeling horrid inside,
long gone that thoughtless grin.
How will I face her
tomorrow at school?
I wish I hadn’t joined in.
It Hurts, by John Foster
It hurts when someone makes remarks
About the clothes I wear,
About the foods I refuse to eat
Or the way I cover my hair.
It hurts when someone laughs and jokes
About the way I speak.
‘Ignore them,’ says my Dad, but it’s hard
To turn the other cheek.
It hurts when someone calls me names
Because of the colour of my skin.
Everyone’s different outside
But we’re all the same within.

Volcanoes and Earthquakes September 23, 2008
Posted by Law Upper in : P7 , 78commentsWell done to everyone for completing this first piece of Personal Research! Your teachers are very much looking forward to reading all your work and learning from you as they do so.
By now you should have had an opportunity to look at a selection of other people’s work, and perhaps even complete a Peer Assessment.
Your homework this week is to write a comment stating what you learned from being given the chance to see Personal Research completed by others in your class: in what way does it help you to see others’ projects? How will this affect how you do your next piece of Personal Research? How did you feel about other people being allowed to look closely at your own work?
Remember to give quality comments, written in full (well-punctuated) sentences!

Environmental Impact Assessment - Whisk(e)y Bottle June 11, 2008
Posted by sallan in : P7 , 77comments
P7 have been considering the impact that building 500 houses on the Whiskey Bottle would have on the area itself as well as the town of North Berwick in general. We have had lots of different issues to consider and discuss before making a judgement on whether as a Planning Officer we would allow such a development to take place. Here are our views.
Rugby at Murrayfield!!! June 3, 2008
Posted by Law Upper in : P7, events , 3commentsOn Saturday 31st of May the P7 Tag Rugby team went to Murrayfield to represent East Lothian. It was a lovely day for rugby and everybody was feeling the heat literally. It was the Sevens weekend and everybody turned out including the Scotland 15 team to support the 7s team, they came 2nd in their group and went through to the next day. We came 4th thanks to the Fair play award having played really well. All in all we enjoyed the day and it was a great experience.
