Weekly Round Up 30/8/19

We have had a busy second week of term.

In literacy we started our class novel ‘Wonder’. We look forward to learning all about August and his family. The book will explore themes of kindness, acceptance and will share real life experience.

In numeracy we have been brushing up on our number skills with plenty of mental maths! We have also been revisiting various topics, such as measure, time and money, in our morning starter.

In ICT we have been exploring Microsoft Publisher and have created some fantastic personal profile using some special features like Word Art, the transparency tool and background.

We were delighted to receive some postcards from Jai MacDowall for our ‘Window to the World’. If anyone is off on a trip soon, please consider picking up a postcard from your destination. We love watching our window grow!

On Wednesday we worked with our P1 buddies on the ‘Look for a book’ trend where we wrote letters and then hid them in the village with our books for local people to find.

On Friday we had Katie from RespectMe in class to lead a workshop which is being launched to all schools in Scotland. We were delighted to test it out and really enjoyed ourselves! Many of our learners provided quality input during the session.

Achievements this week:

Gold Standard work: Ona and Maia’s personal profiles

Group of the Week: Mirrin, Henry, Harry, Duncan, Lucas, Lennon, Lainie and Katie.

Star of the week: Natasha!

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Welcome to Primary 7!

 

I am delighted to have our class blog up and running for all our pupils’ final year at Kilmaurs Primary. I hope to update the blog regularly to keep you up to date with what we are doing – we are in for a very busy year!

Our blog will feature a weekly update which will detail our learning, special events and achievements both in school and in the wider community.

A gentle reminder that homework will not officially be given out in term 1 but pupils are encouraged to read at home. We are taking part in the First Minister’s Reading Challenge, so every book counts!

P.E days are on a Tuesday and Friday. Homework diaries will be updated with important information, news of events and notes from me about achievements or issues in class. Please feel free to use the diary to communicate with me. If you would prefer to speak to me over the phone or in person I am happy to do so.

Here’s hoping we have a fantastic year in P7 – I’ll do everything I can to make it really special! 🙂
