Hi everyone,

This week we have continued to learn about angles in maths. Some of our groups were learning to find missing angles from ‘clues’. We have also been working on our mental maths skills and have been creating our own number patterns and asking a partner to continue the pattern. We have been taking part in the daily challenge where we can select the subject and difficulty of mental maths questions. We are getting really quick and efficient when answering mental maths problems.

In Literacy we have been creating and answering our own questions from our reading books. We have also been learning about the world of work and thinking about career paths we would like to take when we’re older. We had a look at the world of work website and thought about skills, qualities and qualifications for different jobs.

We learned about gender stereotypes in Health this week and about the word consent.

In P.E we got to take part in a scavenger hunt.

Sorry our post is short this week, we are so busy!

Happy weekend!

Good afternoon,

Here is a little snippet of what we have been doing in P7M this week…

Health

In Health this week we carried out an experiment with sanitary products. We looked at what happens when sanitary products have liquid on them and about changes during puberty. We made information tri-folds about how to stay clean during puberty.

Literacy

To celebrate World Book Day, we visited Alloa Academy Library. Mrs Smith, the librarian, showed us how to make cool origami bookmarks and gave us a little tour of the library.

In spelling we have completed two mini spelling tests and most of us achieved 90 – 100%! We were learning about silent letters this week and know lots of little strategies to help us.

We worked on presenting our work attractively using digital technologies. We learned about the coronavirus and ways to protect ourselves and others. We created posters using Microsoft Word and learned how to use colours in the background, add special effects to our words and added photos. RM thought writing about the coronavirus was really fun and let him understand it more. We have plans to print them out and put them up on walls around the school!

Maths

In maths we were learning about different angles. Some of us were working on identifying missing angles, some of us were naming angles and some of us were drawing our own angles!

P.E

We worked on our fitness. We took part in different activities, such as; running on the bench, speed bouncing, tricep dips, sit ups and bean bag throw into the hoop. On Thursday we had a choice of things to do and we voted. The class voted to play dodge ball. Today in P.E we worked in groups of 4, partners or individually and we played 2020 Olympic game sports. L, D, H and K were the winners! Maybe future stars!

Art

We drew realistic eyes using ballpoint pens and learned about shading techniques.

Technologies

We all managed to log in to Glow this week and download Interland to our Glow tiles. Some of us have been practising emailing too.

Oh, last but not least. We had a good giggle at all of our baby/toddler photos in class!

Happy Friday!
