Primary 7 Have been exploring Oceans and Seas by learning what Biodiversity is. We have been linking our learning through digital technologies. We are researching using the internet to create a PPt that will include all the information ‘in our own words’ that we have found online.

In maths this week we started learning more about Fractions, we have been looking at simplify fractions. It was hard work remembering how to divide after being off for so long, but never fear we are amazing at it now after dusting the cobwebs off our times tables we are getting trickier fractions to simplify.

After a very busy first week back to school Primary 7 have settled in great and have began to do some serious learning.

In maths this week we started off looking at decimals we learnt about place value using, tenths, hundredths and thousandths, we experimented using dienes materials to show what different decimals might look like. We looked at writing reading and drawing decimals to 1,2 and 3 decimals places.

In literacy we are exploring how to write acrostic poems, we though we knew exactly how to write an acrostic poem but Miss Smith said we had to have adjectives, similes and alliteration in our poem so we had to work a little harder to makes sure we had all the success criteria in our poems. As our topic is going to be about oceans and seas it’s only right that our poem has to have an ocean and sea theme.

In IDL we were learning about the names and locations of all the worlds oceans and seas. We worked with our learning partners to locate them approximately on a map then we worked as a class to find out exactly where thyey all are.

We have been learning to use Seesaw more to share our learning, here Kevin is using Seesaw, one of our activities was to show a reflection.
