This Week in P7a

P7a have been tearing up the playground with our toe-tapping, rug cutting, Scottish country dancing. We’ve perfected The Gay Gordon’s and are working on The Canadian Barn Dance.

In numeracy and maths we’ve created models of 3d shape and shapes, as well as comparing fractions.

We’ve also researched and prepared non-ficton reports, learned about remembrance and created some art in the style of Yayoi Kusama.

This week P7a started their new class novels: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas & The Stowaway. We also extended our knowledge of fractions, learned about WW2 evacuees and created some art inspired by the Clydebank blitz.

P7a were chosen to demonstrate the use of our creative enquiry room to a very special visitor this week. They participated in a range of STEM activities exploring different changes that take place in our environment.

P7a have been working hard all week on their Scottish National Standardised Assessments (S.N.S.A). We’ve also developed our understanding of long division, planning a creative piece of writing and improving our swimming and badminton skills.
