Maths Week – 04/10/19

This has been a very busy week for P7b! We have had maths week, and learned 2 new dances in our line dances in PE.        

Maths week!!! + x –

This week has been maths week, and we were given lots of new resources to do our maths with. We had geoboards and we used them to make one of the United states. This also links to our topic, the USA. Using the geoboards, we put the coordinates for famous landmarks on the states. On the Friday we had an assembly about maths week, and we showed the school how good our maths skills were. Also, every maths week there is a Maths Menace who leaves maths equipment all over the school. This year it was Miss Mckendrick!

 

Writing

This week in writing we did a very interesting piece, which was a newspaper article about the Statue of Liberty had went missing!  All the writing was really good, and we all enjoyed writing it a lot.

 

Science 

In Science we have been learning about the life cycle of a plant, and we drew out a diagram of a flower and named all the parts of a plant on it. Also we learned that a plant has male and female parts and all the different ways that plants carry their pollen to make new plants.

 

PE

PE this week has been very fun, because Miss Kelly and Mrs Norman have started teaching us line dancing! We have learned 2 dances, one to the song Cotton Eyed Joe and and one called 5,6,7,8. Also we have learned 2 different dances from last week that are called the “Electric Slide” which goes to the song “Achy Breaky Heart” and another Scottish one called the “Slosh” that goes to “Beautiful Sunday”.  It is different to what we have learned before and it is very interesting.

 

Wear Red to School day

Friday was Show Racism the Red Card day, and we learned how some people have different views on people’s skin colour, nationality, culture or religion. Miss Kelly showed us some examples and we had to work out whether they were racist or not, thinking about if it was about religion, nationality, culture, or skin colour. 

 

We all had lots of fun on Maths Week, learning all about racism taught us just how mean people can be because of skin colour, nationality, culture or religion. Learning line dancing was a fun and different approach to our PE.
