Summer is nearly here and we’re into our last term. The last term for our P7’s. Where has the time gone?! Here is a brief overview of our learning this term.
Literacy
We are continuing to develop all reading skills through Bug Club guided reading texts but paying attention to summarising. For writing, we are looking at responding to texts and will be conducting reviews of things we watch and read and giving personal opinions.
Numeracy
The emphasis of our numeracy this term is on algebra, number patterns and time. We will continue to use Number Talk strategies to develop mental strategies using all four processes as part of our daily routine. The class are also working on skills beyond number with Mrs MacKinnon and will be investigating measurement.
Health and Wellbeing
The PATHS focus this term is continuing to develop and use de-escalation techniques during conflicts as well as looking at transitions. Pupil of the Day will also continue.
Our PE days are now on a Tuesday and Thursday. We will be first playing cricket enhancing our throwing, catching and fielding skills. We will also be participating in athletics activities in preparation for Sports Day.
IDL
The topic this term is politics. We will be investigating how laws are made, the role of an MP and identifying the main political parties and some of their policies. We will also receive a visit from MP Alan Brown for a Q and A with the class.
RE
This term we will be aiming to complete God’s Loving Plan activities. As this subject is sensitive, please discuss these issues with your child at home.
French
Mrs MacKinnon will continue teaching French with P7. Through a range of talking, listening, reading and writing tasks, this term the focus will be on the French culture and other French speaking countries.
Summer Show
Preparations are already underway for the upper school show. Pupils will be participating in lots of drama, art, technology and enterprising activities to make the show a success. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates of our show
