During the first week of P7 it was all mainly getting used to the daily routine and all of the new stuff at school, staggered break times and the constant washing or sanitising of hands. The first few days we were constantly moving to get used to our new classmates by sitting next to someone different from the opposite class everyday.

During the second week we got our first piece of writing to improve our descriptive skills and to make our writing better. Also we started to do maths for example our mental maths rotation including Daily Rigour, Number Talks, Sum-dog and Mental Agility.

We also started to draw self portraits of our self to put on the wall to represent one another.

In week 3 we started a second piece of descriptive writing and we also started a report on various subjects. We also did some more maths on angles such as complimentary and supplementary.

Then after that on Friday we made bird kites by using a step by step tutorial then after that we went outside to fly them!
