Next week’s writing

Next week is Road Safety Week and there will be lots of activities throughout the week surrounding this.

On Monday you will be creating a leaflet giving advice on different aspects of road safety.

For your talk homework, discuss what advice and information you could include on your leaflet; you might also want to consider catchy headings or sub-headings that you could include.

Writing

On Monday you will be writing a poem with an anti-bullying message as part of anti-bullying week.

Discuss what kind of message you could convey in your poem, for example: how bullying behaviour may affect people or advice on how to deal with bullying behaviour.

The poem will be following a rhyming pattern so you could also consider any pairs of relevant vocabulary that could be used at the end of lines to rhyme with each other.

Our learning this week

In Health and Wellbeing we have been learning about fixed and growth mindsets. We looked at the values and beliefs of people with different mindsets and filled out a questionnaire to help us see what kind of mindset we had. We also watched videos to give us a better understanding of what these mindsets were like.

In Literacy, the Editors and Illustrators have both started new novels. We have been looking at figurative speech, including simile, metaphor and personification, that is used in these; we also identified different word choices, such as onomatopoeia, and how and why the writer had used these.

This week, several members of the class were interviewed for the role of Senior Prefect. We are looking forward to find out who was successful! Mrs Slorach, Miss Bishop and Mrs Faulkner were incredibly impressed with the thoughtful applications that everyone sent – well done!

Today (Friday) is dress as you please day. We could all choose to dress in our own clothes and brought in a present for the Christmas Fair.

Writing Prompt

Apologies that the writing prompt was not sent home today. I will add the information here and on the class Yammer, and give time to discuss this on Monday morning.

 

This week, for writing, you will be telling the story of Vincent, an 11 year old boy living in Glasgow in 1941. Late one night, as Vincent lay sleeping in his bed, he was suddenly awoken by the chilling sound of an air raid siren.

– What does he do?

– Where will he go?

– Who is he with?

– How does he feel?

Consider each of these questions and think about the vocabulary that you could use to tell his story from this awful night..

Crookfur Primary and the Week of Maths

This week in Crookfur was ‘Maths Week’ and we were treated to a good number of activities.

Throughout the week, one of the teachers was tasked with creating maths mayhem around the school. This included leaving mathematical jokes on walls, spreading maths equipment in classrooms and making a giant calculation in the hall using the PE equipment. Most of us were surprised to discover that it was Mrs Watson all along…

The Primary 7’s were asked to teach P3-6 how to use the Micro:bits, which we have been using for coding. The younger pupils really enjoyed getting to use them.

On Thursday, we got to play lots of different maths games in the hall. We enjoyed learning how to play Sudoku and using a fidget spinner to choose calculations to carry out.

 

Writing Inspiration!

Apologies that this was not sent home as planned today, but your writing prompt for Monday is the title “The Unexpected Guest”. There will be time to discuss this at the beginning of writing on Monday.

Have a great weekend!

This week in P7

This week’s blog is written by Erin and Andrew.

This week we did “professional” detailed art and drew a model of real life legs.

 

 

 

 

 

We started a new topic on WWII and learned about how Adolf Hitler and Germany started it, and about how they invaded Poland on the 1st of September and we also learned about the Allied and Axis powers and where they were in the world.

Our learning this week

 

This week in Primary 7 we nearly got kidnapped!! (Well almost…)

We attended Safety in the Park which teaches pupils all about different types of danger.

In ICT this week we learnt how to code the BBC Micro:bits. We had to create a variable and used the ‘if – then’ command to turn the Micro:bits into dice and also create a rock, paper, scissors game.

Welcome Back!

Welcome to our first Primary 7 blog! We’ve reached our final year of primary school and are looking forward to an exciting year ahead (including sitting on the benches at assembly!).

In the first two weeks of term we have already started our first project – the Post Project Review of the school refurbishment. We split up into different groups and took photos and videos of the new school to display. One group found older pictures of the school to compare it before and after, and we also created surveys to find out people’s views.

This week, the school’s houses chose their new House and Vice-House Captains. Several members of P7 prepared speeches and presented them to their houses before a vote to decide who the House and Vice Captains would be.

Congratulations to:

Livingstone: Ruby & Ayaan

Stevenson: Erin & Kian

Slessor: Miles & Harris

Fleming: Amina & Josh

Well done to all pupils who took part – the speeches were all of an excellent standard and you made it very hard for everyone to choose!

We are all looking forward to learning and working together in Primary 7 and will keep you updated here!

 

This week we have had a Very Short week but a very exciting week.
