This week in PE we started Scottish Country dancing with p7a. We got off to a flying start, learning the Gay Gordons in the playground. We got very competitive showing Miss Stevenson the badminton skills we have been practising at Springburn Leisure Centre, with a very high energy game of around the world.
We have been doing some more film literacy this week, looking at camera angles and showed great understanding of how these can impact the viewer.
We have looked at the structure needed in report writing and will continue to do more work on this next week.
In Maths we have been working on multiplication and have been making great progress with this. We even managed to do some problem solving activities.
We have been continuing to work on our study skill sin PATHS and have identified things that distract us in class and have committed to trying to reduce these together as a team.

This week in Primary 7b
This week in Primary 7b we loved being outdoors with Donald from Wildside Nature for a Halloween themed workshop.
We have been working hard in maths on multiplication and division and are demonstrating great recall of knowledge from last year.
We have started exploring film literacy and how we can use our reading strategies to help us understand what’s going on. We will be continuing this next week looking at different filming techniques and how they are used to impact the viewer.
We had our final week of swimming and had great fun having some free time in the pool to practice our skills.
We have enjoyed learning more about Poppy Scotland and using the iPads to create a digital brochure of information about what we have been learning.
The school had a very special visitor this week and P7b’s How Good Is Our Classroom floor book was chosen for him to see. He was very impressed with the input the children have given on how we can make our classroom better.
We have been working very hard this week to complete our Scottish National Standardized Assement’s (SNSA) for reading, writing and numeracy.
We have started exploring a new writing genre of Report writing and will be continuing this over the next few weeks.
Lots of pupils indicated in their personal target setting they wanted to improve their overall fitness. This week we did a baseline fitness assessment and at the end of term we will do another to see how much we have improved.
We have started learning about Poppy Scotland and why it is still so relevant today.
P7b
We have had a great week in P7b. We have continued working on place value and are starting to feel very confident with this so are beginning to explore addition using up to 7 digit numbers.
Our persuasive writing has shown huge improvement and we have all shown great collaboration skills as we put a spin on fairy tale stories, taking on the role of the villain and trying to convince our reader we are innocent after all.
We have been enjoying ‘Bodhran’ drumming with our visiting specialist, David, and our weekly trip to Springburn Leisure Centre for swimming and basketball.
