Numeracy and Mathematics

We have been learning how to interpret and draw bar graphs which include more than one set of data.  These are good for comparing the answers given by different sets of people.

Our multiplication and division skills have also come in handy when carrying out speed/distance/time calculations.

Literacy and English

We have continued to build our creative writing skills, with a focus on settings.  The title of our writing this week was, ‘Through the Keyhole’, inspired by the poem, ‘The Door’ by Miroslav Horub.

Everyone had a chance to choose which reflective reading tasks to complete in response to ‘Divided City’, with the option to design a coat of arms for our school being most popular.

Across the Curriculum

It was a real treat to venture out to the community centre to watch the dress rehearsal of Aladdin.  We were all so impressed with P5 and P6 and thoroughly enjoyed the show!

In PE, Jason, a basketball coach, returned and taught us some more skills.  This has been a great opportunity for both P7 classes to work together and show off their excellent team work.

Our new topic on plants and living things is underway and started with a wee pre-topic quiz. It was great to see how much we all already know about plants!

Please remember to hand in personal research projects by Wednesday 25th May and please return your Family Maths Scrapbooks by the end of next week.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
