Sorry for the later post, I was struggling to access our blog last night!!

Another great day yesterday for P7.26 home learning …

The children started their day by clicking present on the register, watching Newsround and then reading or listening to an audiobook. We then had some Literacy, Numeracy, Art and Magic tasks, as well as our Quiz Night Challenge.

I have attached a range of work from yesterday below …

Happy 1st December ❄️🎄🌟

I started this morning by opening my Advent calendar, which looks a little different this year but I love it …

Tyler also sent in his Advent calendars. He’s lucky enough to have three this year …

Today, I incorporated some outdoor learning, cooking, writing and the second part of our quiz Night Challenge. I have added some fantastic examples below …

What an amazing day!! See you all tomorrow …

Hello everyone 🌈

A bit of a different morning for us all today. We have tried hard to keep things as “normal” as possible. We started this morning, as we normally do, with some relaxing music, the register and CBBC Newsround.

We then heard some news from the weekend. Seher Noor has been busy making profiteroles 😋 and Cora made some bread 🥖. Heather also shared that she put up all of her Christmas decorations at the weekend 🎄.

I then posted some Literacy and Numeracy work, as well as a new Solar System Project. I also posted the first part of our Quiz Night Challenge. Some children completed their work on paper, and others on Google Doc. I have attached a few examples below …

Numeracy – Percentages

Literacy – Close Reading

Last week, Cora won our ‘Star if the Week’ 🌟 by winning the most Dojo points! This week, she taught a short art lesson to the children as a reward. She decided to teach Notan Art. Notan is a Japanese term which means ”light dark harmony”. Artists use “notan studies” to explore different arrangements of light and dark elements in a painting, without having the distraction of other elements like colour, texture and finer details.

Today, we had a look at some videos that were sent through from Eastwood High School. I have added all of these videos to the Google Classroom, so that the children can share these with their parents.

Mearns Castle videos are on their way and will be shared ASAP 😊.

Exciting times for our P7 pupils 🌟.

The Golden Oreos created a fantastic art drawing competition for the class this morning, as part of their reward for winning group of the week.

1 – Animal/Food. The children had to create a funny and creative picture including an animal and food. Below are our winners Cora, Lucy and Zac – well done! 🌟

2 – Space picture 🌝💫💥🌏. Below are our winners Laibach, Cora and Taya – well done! 🌟

Today, we started preparing for our ambition assembly. We started by talking about our dreams and goals for the future. We then looked at different professions and real life stories, using a BBC resource. Finally, we started to create our our vision boards looking at where we want to live, what job we want to have, what qualities we would like people to see in us, etc…

We finished today’s session by looking at the steps we need to take to make these dreams a reality.  We started our own personal script, which will be recorded later in the week. We can’t wait to share these with you!

“Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.” 🌟🌟

In class, we showed our respect by remaining silent at 11am. We then listened to the last post. In the afternoon, we created some art work of our own.

Today we shared our spooky, Halloween inspired stories with the class.

Well done to Zac and Cora who both submitted a delicious recipe for our PTA Lockdown Recipe Book. Zac submitted a fantastic pancake recipe 🥞. Cora submitted an amazing chicken soup recipe 🥣.
