Everyone in P7 has been working extremely hard this week!  We have had two consecutive days with all pupils achieving our recognition board target of listening well and giving their best effort; well done P7s!

We have been busy developing problem solving skills through investigating different number systems.  Challenge: teach someone at home how to use Roman numerals.

For science, we carried out another experiment to find out why we use soap, and not just water, when washing our hands.  We are getting good at predicting what we think will happen in an experiment and giving reasons, before finding out the actual results.

The atmosphere in the classroom was of total concentration while doing imaginative writing on Wednesday; I was very impressed by the motivation and enthusiasm around the room!

Home Learning Tasks – 14.09.20

• Continue trying to read for 15-30minutes each day.  This could be reading on your own, with an adult or reading a story to a younger sibling.
• The power of positive thinking – at the end of each day, I would like you to think of the best thing(s) about your day.  You can choose to write these down as a daily list or tell someone in your family.  Think of anything that has made you smile or feel good that day.  Examples: feeling proud of a piece of work; someone giving you a compliment; you doing something kind for someone else; having your favourite dinner; seeing a friend or relative; hearing a funny joke; taking part in a game; spending time with a pet…
• Keep practising any times tables you find tricky.

Please remember a rain jacket on Monday for our outdoor session.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Johnstone
