Primary 7A with Miss Mackenzie
Summary of Learning
Term 2 is a busy one in P7A! Our writing focus will be discursive writing. This is one of my favourite genres of writing as it allows pupils to really express themselves and ideas. It will allow us to begin looking at debating as well. In reading, we will focus on ‘Divided City’, a good one for the football lovers! We will also look at skimming, scanning and note taking which will be important skills for high school.
In maths and numeracy, we will focus on the four operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing). We will also look at money – having some financial education lessons and using our numeracy skills to solve calculations involving money.
Our topic this term is Glasgow, as picked by our class to coincide with reading Divided City. It’ll be great to learn more about the geography and history of our fabulous city! RME will tie in nicely with our topic too, learning about the religions of modern Scotland and the conflict that may arise. We are fortunate to have input from Govan high music department, delivering weekly lessons as well as a music specialist working for ‘Celtic Connections’, who will be teaching us some traditional scots songs! There will no doubt be lots of busy and exciting things happening in the lead up to Christmas!
