Its been a busy few weeks in primary 7 as the end of year excitement begins to peak!

This week pupils visited Stewarton Academy for their transition days. It was a very quiet, nervous bus journey there on Wednesday but I’m delighted to say that the nerves quickly passed and all pupils had a great time!

Nervous faces

Post visit excited faces!

We have been busy practicing for our end of year assembly. Our scenes are coming along well but the singing is a little quiet! Please encourage your child to listen to the songs uploaded to Teams to allow them to practice.

In class we have been reading our novel ‘Holes’ and really enjoying it. We have also been ;earning about angles in maths!

Term 4 overview

Primary 7 have been very busy since our return from the Easter break. We have moved back  in to our lovely new renovated classroom and have settled in well.

Pupils have been reading the novel ‘Holes’ in literacy. They are enjoying the story so far and I can’t wait to see their responses to the twists and turns!

Within numeracy the class have completed a topic on algebra (letters in maths?! Woah!). It was an interesting topic with some pupils really finding their strength in this area. They are now focusing on all things measure (area, perimeter, volume, weight). Pupils are coping really well so far.

Pupils now have their leavers assembly scripts and should  be practicing their lines at home regularly. Mr Keachie is also extremely happy with pupil progress on their instruments, with regular practice also being encouraged.
