Block Three (April – June)

Hi everyone and welcome again to the P7 school page. Can you believe we are in Block 3 already? Doesn’t time fly?

Children in P7 will be working hard this term but also having lots of fun and taking part in various P7 activities.

Here is what we have planned for Block 3:

• Class Charter:

Our school values are SAFE, READY RESPECTFUL so our class charter is linked to them. We have been focusing on our actions each week and many of us have already been awarded our Hot Chocolatier of the week. We continue to work especially on “using kind words and actions”, “good listening” and “good manners”.

• Topic:

Our topic this block is “Paris Olympics 2024 and EUROS 2024”. We will be finding out all about the Olympics and the EUROS and carrying out some activities around it.

• Numeracy & Maths:
• This block we are learning:
• Probability
• Data handling
• Graph construction
• Graph interpretation
• Literacy:

Our class novel this Block is “The Incredible Record Smashers” by Jenny Pearson. The main character in this novel, Lucy, is a fixer of broken things and she plans to smash a world record in order to help her mum.

We will also have group readers which we will read in class each week and read for enjoyment.

In writing we will be creating:

• leaflets
• Posters
• Fact files
• Imaginative writing piece

In talking and listening we are continuing to focus on good listening skills, and taking part in discussions and debates.

• PE:

Tuesday: indoor PE (athletics, team games, rounders)

Thursday: outdoor PE (games, the mile, trim trail, fitness)

• Homework:

Due to P7 activities this block we will be using homework times to reflect on our time at Primary and think of our successes, achievements and memories.

 

• P7 Events: More information to come
• Crieff Residential: Mon 13^th – Thurs 16^th We are really looking forward to the outdoor activities and challenges.
• End of year trip: This will take place on Tuesday 18th June. We will be going to Dundee to Tenpin Bowling, Laser Station and Escape Rooms. More details to follow.
• High School Transition: We will be covering the emotional and social aspect of moving onto high school.
• High School Visits: Wednesday 12^th, Thursday 13^th, Friday 14^th June
• Leadership Roles: children are enjoying working with the younger children
