We have had a great couple of weeks settling back into school life.

This term has started off with lots of opportunities to work co-operatively and build a positive classroom ethos.  Yesterday there was some excellent team work and creativity on display as each group was challenged to create a team name, motto, logo and mascot.  Everyone had a role to play from being the time keeper to managing the materials being used to checking the quality of work. There were some super ideas and everyone worked really well to create posters and 3D mascots out of plasticine. The themes chosen by the groups were: seahorses, red pandas, cats and bears.

In numeracy we have been revising place value of numbers up into the millions! We have also reminded ourselves of some of the multiplication facts and how to order decimal fractions.

Our novel study for this term is ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom’ by Michael Morpurgo.  This week we read the first chapter and completed a visualiser about the main character Michael; so far we think he is loyal, brave, adventurous and energetic based on evidence in the text.

We have lots to look forward to this year in P7! This term we will be learning about plants and living things, Mrs Ferguson will be working with us for some STEM and food technology sessions and we will begin to think about the John Muir Award.

Have a lovely weekend when it arrives!
