Primary 7a 22/23

We used our knowledge of french descriptions to play ‘Guess Who’ to describe different characters and our own classmates. This was a lot of fun!

We have been using our learner disposition of ‘creativity’ to make our own time games during maths. We are improving our knowledge of time durations and converting between 12 and 24 hour time!

We have been working hard on our self and peer assessment. We gave each other constructive feedback, focusing on strengths and next steps during our Daily Literacy Learning tasks.

We are so proud of our classmates who participated in the Super 5s Football Festival. You played so well, even in the pouring rain and we loved hearing all about it!

Well done to Leah for receiving a Highly Commended certificate and medals for Highland and Modern dancing!

We have been learning about our nervous system and signals being sent to the brain to react to situations to keep us safe from danger. Yesterday we started to investigate if our dominant hand is faster or slower to react.

We have been exploring costs of the school day in P6a and we estimated how much uniform, stationary, travel and lunches etc. cost families. This was a very interesting discussion and we began to explore how we could reduce these costs.

We investigated if you can taste foods without your sense of smell. We found out that our sense of taste is not as strong when you are not able to smell the food.

P6a really enjoyed working alongside Rosie and Tess from East Renfrewshire’s Culture and Leisure exploring traditional printing techniques. We looked at the style of the Paisley print and then created our own templates to use on a whole class 

Some of our class mates shared words and phrases in another language for us this week. We loved learning some Mandarin, Russian and Polish. We were so impressed with their ability to speak another language! A special thanks to Mrs Dziobek for teaching us some Polish tongue twisters!
