P7J have been working very enthusiastically this week, with everyone showing a super attitude towards learning.<\/p>\n
As part of the John Muir Award, we have been looking at garden birds.\u00a0 We started the week off by watching some of the ‘BBC Winter Watch Big Lesson’ which taught us about how to use a classification key to identify birds.\u00a0 After this, we used apples, seeds, sticks and string to make an eco-friendly bird feeder; hopefully these are hanging in your gardens now and providing the birds with some food in this turbulent winter weather.\u00a0 Please send in any photos of your bird feeders at home, especially if the birds are visiting them, I would love to see them!\u00a0 Ask your child about how to use the bird identifier on the RSPB website, this is a super tool to discover which birds are in your garden, which we had a look at in class.<\/p>\n
In numeracy, we have been focusing on fractions; equivalent and simplified fractions, and how to compare and order fractions.\u00a0 The class outdid themselves when simplifying fractions and even asked for extra work!<\/p>\n
We also welcomed back Miss Little this week.\u00a0 She will be working with P7J until the end of term and has lots of great activities in store for the class.\u00a0 This week there has been creative collage artwork in response to Vivaldi’s ‘Winter’ music from ‘The Four Seasons’ and rhyming poetry.<\/p>\n
Next week, we will be learning about improper and mixed fractions, as well as some different types of poetry.<\/p>\n
Have a lovely weekend when it arrives!<\/p>\n
