Grow together, Cook together

P7 children have had a fabulous journey working alongside Dumfries House staff. They have been involved in planning the school garden, planting and caring for the crops, harvesting the fruits and vegetables and then cooking for their celebration of food afternoon with their parents.

Numeracy

P6/7 have been exploring place value in numbers up to 8 digits… and beyond! They have been working together, challenging each other to create the biggest number from sets of chosen digits and to compare numbers using the comparative symbols for less than, greater than and equal to.  The children have enjoyed working through a variety of activities, making this learning more active, fun and much more meaningful. The  activity they have been particularly keen to engage with is our Place value team challenges which has children going head to head to identify the values in given digits within large numbers. Our next steps in numeracy will be looking at decimals and working on estimating, rounding and ordering.

Class charter

In P6/7 we looked at the articles which lays out our rights and we identified those relevant to our classroom and our learning. We based our class charter around these rights. We enjoyed working in teams to agree our charter statements.

We have signed a contract with our promise to protect learning for all.

Welcome

Welcome to our P6/7 class blog.

It has been a pleasure getting to know you all over the past couple of days.

Our PE days are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please come to school with a full PE kit which consists of shorts, leggings or joggers, trainers or gym shoes and a t-shirt. No football strips please.  Also,  jewellery should be removed before coming to school on these days.

Over the past 2 days we have been involved in listening and talking activities and using thinking and decision making skills.  We have been working together to design our learning environment and drawing up interior design plans.  Please see the  photos below.

Our buddy system is up and running and has been going well.  We have also been preparing for our first “Leaders of Learning” session which will take place tomorrow with our P1/2 class.
