Maths this week finished sensationally last week with us being crowned runners up in the P7 East Renfrewshire Quiz. We were so excited and the tense atmosphere in the class was so exciting!

This week we’ve taken aspects of maths week that we loved and used them during a normal week to make sure that we are all engaged and motivated in our learning. The children were keen to continue the outdoor learning so we went outside to work as a group and decode various ciphers as a treasure hunt activity.

After researching famous mathematicians during maths week we were really interested in Katherine Johnson and the discrimination that she faced being an African-American woman. This got us thinking about the Black Lives matter movement and also the women’s rights campaign and women’s suffrage.

We chose an area that interested us, researched it and produced a piece of writing. We generated our own success criteria depending on what type of text we were creating. Some of us made posters, me leaflets and others wrote newspaper reports.

Alesha continued to impress us by writing out pi to 100 decimal places! Well done!

We explored budgeting and worked as a group to make sure that our  fleet had enough equipment.

We we are very much looking forward to the October week and a well-deserved break. We have been working so hard in P7 to recover learning and relationships that suffered during our months in lockdown. We are learning and progressing in fun, engaging ways and everyday we try out best to meet our potential! Keep up the great work 7.27.
