This week our numeracy focus has been the order of operations (B.O.D.M.A.S) and different multiplication strategies. This meant solving complex problems involving brackets, squared/cubed numbers and square roots.

As part of world book week we wrote some fantastic poems, about libraries. We will continue writing poetry over the next few weeks, which will be entered in a city wide competition. We also had a live lesson with novelist Jamie Gregory, which centred around his new book “bonehead”.

In health and wellbeing (as part of our learning on respecting other cultures) we’ve been creating presentations about different cultures from around the world. P7a were asked to choose a country, research the music, food and traditions of that country, and create a keynote presentation about everything they’ve learned. We’ve found out fascinating facts about Cambodia, Russia, Libya, Japan and a host of other countries.
