Pupils had a fantastic morning taking part in the Desert Island Challenge as part of their transition to Stewarton Academy.

It has been a busy week in primary 7. It was lovely to meet all the parents again. Thank you for your time and I hope you found our conversations beneficial. I also hope you found the target setting part of the appointment beneficial in being able to keep up with your child’s learning aims.

In maths we continued to work on shape, particularly constructing triangles using protractors. This has been a particularly difficult area for many pupils but it has been great to see confidence grow as we work.

In literacy we took part in a mini climate change study based on the work of Greta Thunberg. Pupils worked on key skills like note taking and had to use their notes to structure a letter to parliament in support of Greta’s work.

In P.E we started gymnastics and used Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ as inspiration for our sequences. Pupils performed their sequences for the class and I was very impressed by the creativity shown!

We spent some time this afternoon with our P1 buddies and all had great fun!
