Termly Update 3

Primary seven are busy working their socks off for their final term at primary. We can’t believe how the time has flown!

Literacy

We will continue to work on active spelling strategies in class, catered to our own ability.

Primary seven will be using our production of Alice as a topic this term covering various areas of the curriculum.  We are using two versions of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ movies as a media topic. Working in literature circles the pupils will be taking on specific roles to analyse and compare the themes of the film.

Primary seven will focus on ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’ as a homework literacy programme. This is pitched at second and third level and will allow the children to use the resource in the same format they will meet at secondary. The homework will focus on comprehension and essay writing. This will be supported in class.

Maths/ Numeracy

Primary 7 will continue to work on multiplication and division this term with our beyond number focusing on money as well as patterns and relationships.  We are concentrating on refining our skills on preparation for secondary.

Health and Wellbeing/ RME

This term Primary seven will look at ‘God’s Loving Plan’. An information leaflet will come out in the coming weeks.  For further information please contact the school.

PE

Primary 7 will take a closer look at cricket this term and athletics in preparation for Sports Day.  Senior pupils will also help to organise this event.

IDL/ Topic

As previously stated Primary seven will focus on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ this will link to all areas of expressive arts and will encompass aspects of our technology outcomes.
