Whilst I was off the children of Primary 7 continued to update their learning blog and worked extremely hard with Mr Wilson. I was so proud to hear such excellent reports upon my return and it was so lovely to be welcomed back by the wonderful students in Primary 7. Mrs Norman

P7’s blog 24th – 28th January By Sophie and Shravya

Maths

In maths this week we were learning symmetry and we were doing a work booklet.

Individual groups were doing BODMAS, decimal fractions and Fractions,

We were all intrigued to know what we were doing for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) We were drawing circles with a compass on a piece of paper and overlapping them we got to choose if we wanted to colour them in with felt tips, crayons, pastels and paints. We made them very colourful and some of us went for a theme!

Literacy

In literacy we completed some comprehension activities in our groups.

We looked at some Homophones like Leek and Leak.

Writing

In writing we were doing persuasive writing on school uniforms and some people were for having school uniforms and some people were against it. We needed to think of our argument and persuade our reader that we were right.

Are you for or against school uniforms?

RME/Global Goals

In RME we were learning about Humanism and what they don’t and do believe in. Humanist people believe in being kind and caring but don’t believe in god and they also think some planets touched each other and then the big bang happened and the earth appeared.

Mrs Hutchison

With Mrs Hutchison we were doing Music and drama we had to do drama based on a story.

In music we were learning new music notes. We also did what Simon says with music notes by clapping the rhythm but you must not clap the forbidden rhythm.

Outdoor Education

We continued to look at the impact John Muir has had in the world by looking at National Park in America and Scotland. We compared them and identified similarities and differences.

In the MUGA this week we worked with Mr Wilson and developing our fitness and increasing our speed by looking at how our body works to help propel us forward at a quicker pace.
