P7 Room 23 – 30.8.24

Welcome to our first blog post!

We have been busy over the last few weeks, settling in to our new class and getting to know our new routines.

We have been learning about:

  • Our maths mindset and how we can approach challenges in maths in a more positive way.
  • The UNCRC articles which has helped us create our Class Charter
  • Our new book ‘The Middler’ and our reading for enjoyment book ‘When the Sky Falls.’

We also created fantastic self portraits using graphite paper and watercolours as you can see in the picture attached.

Have a lovely weekend!

Another busy week in Room 5

The end of another week has come around again, and I would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the parents that made it to our Meet the Teacher event on Thursday.  I hope you enjoyed looking around the classroom and that we were able to answer all your questions.

The children have been very busy this week familiarising themselves with numbers to 100.  We are spending lots of time remembering how to write our numbers properly and ordering them correctly.  This is something you could practice at home!

As part of our topic on Super, Duper, You! we drew some self portraits and then made some superhero masks for ourselves.  They look great on our wall display and the kids will bring them home in a few weeks.

Our phoneme revision this week covered ‘oo’ and ‘ee’ so we finished up the week with some dictated sentences and the work was fantastic!

Also a big Congratulations to Georgia, who took home our class mascot Nelly today!

Room 24

This week in room 24 we started our swimming lessons at Eastfield Lifestyles. It was an exciting experience and super busy trying to get organised so fast in the morning!

In P.E. we have been trying to complete a challenge called Tarp Turnover when there are 15 people on each team and each team has a large tarpaulin sheet. The aim of the game is to flip the tarpaulin over to the other side while everyone is still standing on it. No-one is allowed to step off the tarp and it was really tricky! We tried it last week and no-one could figure out how to do it. This week, we watched a video back of ourselves trying to complete it and thought about what we could do differently. We got there in the end with a little help from Miss Napier!

In art we finished our Rights Charter display by adding our initials collages to it. We cut out lots of different things from magazines that make us ‘us’ like our favourite foods and games and then stuck them to a cardboard cut-out of our first initials. When we added them to our charter wall, this was our way of signing it and agreeing to respect our rights.

With Mrs Reilly, we got to use an ink pad and take our own finger prints! This is because we’ve been learning about mysteries and detective work in our ‘High Rise Mystery’ novel. It was fun to learn that there are different names for different kinds of fingerprint patterns.

Thank you to the parents/carers who attended our ‘Meet the Teacher’ events yesterday. It was great to see you all and I hope you found the sessions informative. If you require any support or assistance throughout the year, please do not hesitate to get in touch via the school office, thank you.

We have had an AMAZING start to our P.6. journey and it was so nice to meet some of the parents and carers this week.

The children have been working hard and have already started to help me plan our learning in Social Subjects.

Homework begins on the Google Classroom drive on Monday 2nd September, (as I type this the children are groaning but I have promised them that it will be as fun as we can make it)

Our Week in Room 20

In Room 20 we have got up to lots of fun things this week and we can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Handwriting

We took paragraphs from the news about Lego and the blocks not being environmentally friendly.  We had to write it down in our handwriting jotters with joined up writing.

Class Novel

We finished our class novel ‘I Swapped My Brother on the Internet’.  The book was about a boy and his brother.  The boy called Jonny swapped his brother Ted on the internet.  He got lots of replacements and in the end he learned that his brother wasn’t all that bad after all.  We thought it was a really good book because it was funny and full of surprises.  We voted on our new book and started it today.  It’s called ‘The Name of this Book is a Secret’.

Outdoor PE

On Monday with Mr. McKay, we were doing rugby related games.  We were learning the skills of ball handling, passing and blocking.

On Thursday, we did games time with Room 19 with football, rounders or a chance for us to make our own games.  We were having great fun until torrential rain came on suddenly and we got drenched!

Conferencing

We were doing conferencing for the first time.  This is when we peer assess each others writing. We highlighted target sheets to show what we did well and what we need to work on.  We set next steps to work on in our writing this week.

Taught Writing

We all wrote a story with our own ideas about ‘The Mysterious Wonder’.  We got this idea from the Nowhere Emporium which has lots of magical rooms in it.  We learned about having a problem, escalation and resolution to write a detailed narrative.

We’ve all worked really hard and someone even got Mr. JC’s super special stamp for some amazing work!

We’ve had a really good week and we will get up to lots more stuff next week!
