This week we had our Harvest Assembly. It was the first opportunity for our P7s to lead a full school assembly and what a good job they did. Well done to our readers and media team.

This week we carried out a weathering and erosion experiment with the trace fossils we made last week.  We noticed that they became worn and small pieces of sediment broke off.  We also froze them and observed the thawing process as they started to have small cracks appear.

This week we have also been chatting about our term 2 Show and have started to think about the size of roles we might like and all of the work that needs done ahead of show day!

We used our last skipping session to show off all the skills we have learned this term.

The primary 6s took part in their CAMPS music workshop.

Our Excellent Work winners this week are as follows:

• Numeracy – Jack for excellent understanding when doing rounding to estimate calculations using word problems.
• Literacy – Callum for absolutely stunning handwriting.
• Effective Contributor – Mia
• Catrine Compliments – Ivy

We had a busy week in P6/7 from maths and literacy through to science and ICT.

This week we were working hard on our summarising skills through our novel, Wonder. We’ve also been finishing off our work on multiplication by 10, 100 and 1000 and making links to multiply by other multiples of 10.

In science we learned about fossils, the different types and how they are formed. We then made our own trace fossils using dinosaur figures. We were fascinated when we used the magnifying glasses to see the finer details.

In ICT, and applying our meta skills, we are becoming experts on Teams. We can access assignments, edit documents and submit them for marking. We will continue to build on this as the year progresses.

In PE we have been working hard to develop our skipping skills.

We have had another busy week in P6/7.  This week we chose Kacey for our Catrine compliments.

Esther was chosen as a Responsible Citizen for the Excellent Work Wall.

Braxton’s writing was chosen for the Excellent Work wall this week. Look at his amazing use of descriptive language.

We chose Ashton’s marvelous rounding work for the Excellent Work Wall as he gave accurate and well thought out answers to the questions.

This was our Friday Fun Question this week.  What would you have chosen?

What a busy week we’ve had in P6/7. The children finalised their class charter and it’s looking great up on display in the classroom.

Congratulations to our Excellent Work Wall pupils this week. Logan R for his fabulous numeracy work, Logan B for his fantastic handwriting and Lee Louis for being an Effective Contributor by sharing his ideas in class discussions.

In literacy we have made excellent progress with our class novel, Wonder and have already looked at reading strategies such as Prior Knowledge and Visualisation.

In Numeracy, we have been working on Multiplication and Rounding numbers.

We are still waiting on a few photo permissions, so please ensure that you complete the online forms so we can start posting photos of our week.

Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays so please ensure PE kits are brought on those days.

Finally, we have started a new fun routine for Friday mornings: Our Fun Friday Question. Here was today’s.  What would you pick?

Welcome to the first post of our P6/7 class blog. We have had a great few days settling in to the class and the new routines, and we are all ready and raring to go for the year ahead. Please check in every week as we will be posting lots of photos and updates to show you all the wonderful learning we will be doing this year.
