| P7 Learning Update – Term 1
|
| Primary 7 have settled into being a straight class again. We have made and renewed friendships that were there before the split last year. As a class we have created a class charter establishing routines and expectations. We have created art based on Van Gogh, as this will be part of our research into studying various artists.
Our Interdisciplinary Learning topic is based on World War II. A topic based homework grid has been distributed in the second half of the term. PE days are Mondays and Wednesdays. Children should have appropriate clothing and indoor shoes suitable for PE. We began with golf and team games and we have been fortunate to have a block of lessons in kickboxing. |
| Weekly (spelling) homework will be issued on Mondays. Children should practise their spellings using a variety of their preferred spelling strategies (e.g. pyramid writing, copy 3 times, rainbow writing, sentences etc). These tasks are optional although daily practice of the words is beneficial to your child as it will enhance all aspects of other curricular areas. Children are tested on their spelling words every Friday. |

In Numeracy we have worked on place value (3 or 4 digits at P5, 5 digits for P6). We are developing skills in addition and subtraction, rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000, ordering numbers and eventually move on to multiplication tables. Later stages of this term will involve 12hr and 24hr time. |
| In our Literacy sessions we are working on comprehension strategies based on the current reading book. Later in the term children will have different novels or reading books allocated to their different groups and will be encouraged to demonstrate independent reading skills.
Grammar is also an important part of ongoing learning.
