We have had a busy 2 weeks in P6/7 and the children are settling very well into routines.

This week we started our new class novel ‘Holes’ by Louis Sachar. As we explore the book this term, we will be learning about different reading comprehension strategies to help us develop a deeper understanding of the texts we read. We have analysed the front cover and the blurb to make predictions about the book – the children had some very interesting ideas

We have started the new term by focusing on Place Value in maths, initially on whole numbers to 1,000,000. Next week we will be learning about rounding whole and decimal numbers. We will also be covering shape this term.

On the first week of term P6/7 explored Children’s Rights and Responsibilities (UNCRC). As a class we agreed on the most appropriate Rights and Responsibilities we would like to focus on in the classroom, and this has formed our class charter.

This term in Health and Wellbeing, we will be focusing on making and maintaining friendships, as well as emotions.

In PE, we are focusing on golf with Miss Davie.

The children created fantastic self-portraits to display in the classroom. We created a mindfulness-inspired background, focusing on using lots of different patterns – we think they look great!

This term our topic will be Natural Disasters. We will complete a KWL to gather information about what the children already know, and what they want to learn.
