Primary 7 – Book Tasting

Primary 7 took part in a Book Tasting activity this afternoon. They read 5 different books for 8 minutes and filled in a ‘menu’ at each table, listing the things that interested them about the book and they had to decide whether they would choose to read the book. Once they had visited all 5 tables, they had to pick a preferred book to read and the overall winner will be read as our class novel for the rest of this term.

Primary 7 – Drama Workshop

Over the next few weeks, Primary 7 will have the opportunity to take part in a series of drama lessons delivered by a drama teacher from St John’s, Mr Mordente.  The class have had 2 sessions so far and have thoroughly enjoyed them and we are looking forward to visiting the drama department in May.

Primary 7 – Literacy

As part of our class literacy this term we are developing our talking and listening skills through the use of a resource called Voice 21. We are taking on different discussion roles and will be working on this throughout this term, this will develop our communication skills and help us to become even more confident when speaking in a group or in front of the class.

Primary 7 – Numeracy

In numeracy this week we have been revising algebra and working together to solve equations. We usually begin our numeracy lessons with some mental games and then work in groups to play the Countdown Target game before beginning the lesson.

Countdown has proven popular in P7 and we enjoy trying to reach the target before anyone else in our group! Here is a link to the online version which can be played at home:
