Hi readers,

here is what we got up to this week in P7a!

Maths

We revised Area and Perimeter, where we participated in a Scavenger Hunt. We measured sinks, jotters, desks and other items within our classroom using the skills we have learned.

Also, majority of the class have achieved a new record for our multiplication square challenge!

PE

In our final lesson of gymnastics, we played “The Floor is Lava”,  where we used gymnastics equipment. We practiced our skills that we have developed and also used our teamwork skills!

We also continued with Hockey this week. We played lots of matches against each other to build on our skills. We played “Tents and Campers” as a warm up exercise. This was a game that we all really enjoyed!

IDL – The Apprentice

We got given a task by Sir Alan Lord to create a chocolate bar and logo in our teams. The chocolate bar was called Blazin’ Raisin and we came up with catchy slogans for the chocolate bar.  Our chocolate bar wrappers were sent to P7b, where they voted for their favourite wrapper design.

We are looking forward to our next challenge!

Literacy

For writing this week we looked at STEAL to describe characters. We wrote about vampires, werewolves and witches. We created lots excellent writing with lots of examples of  powerful vocabulary.

Technology

We used the micro:bits again this week and followed a step-by-step video. In pairs we used the micro:bits to create a design and used inspiration from the video that we had followed. We have really enjoyed using them and building our confidence with creating new designs.

Thank you for reading this week’s blog post!
