We have been working so hard over the last few weeks with a lot hard work taking place in our classroom.

Whilst learning about the United States of America we have researched history, current issues and traditions as well as landmarks and geography. The learners in the class have been engaged and brought a lot of enthusiasm to their learning. Take a look at some of the activities we have been working on.

 

We may be primary 7 but we are loving play doh! To help us learn some new and tricky concepts in numeracy and maths we have been appplying the ‘concrete, pictorial, abstract’ approach where we use resources to help us visualise and act out our learning. Making play doh pizzas and chocolate bars to help us with improper and mixed fractions really got us visualising and understanding the problem.

 

To finish off this week we have an update from Jessica and Harry –

This week has been really fun it has had a lot of exhilarating and enjoyable tasks and we will tell you about these below.

Let’s begin  on Thursday when we invited our parents for an afternoon watching us all work and for us to show them some of the stuff that we had been doing for the last 3 or 4 weeks. It would have been like a meet the teacher of parents however we did that last year and we have the same teacher this year. Mrs Norman is our teacher and we are all happy at that because she lets us do fun things all the time. One of these examples were when the parents came in and our task was to make a brochure to places like the Grand Canyon, Washington Monument, and mount Rushmore.

On Friday we decided as a class to raise money for a charity called Jeans for Genes and basically this charity helped with people that have genetic disorders. It’s in the name really (Jeans for Genes) and it was the best and we raised a lot of money.
