Hi its Neiva and Sara here and today we’re here to tell you all about  our week in P7. This week in class we wrote  a Scotland fact file  because it’s St Andrews Day on Saturday, which is an event that is celebrated in Scotland. Also in french we learned  how to say Christmas phrases and words. In maths we have been revising multiplication. We learned the partitioning strategy and the grid method. During literacy we have also been learning about colons-where to use them and when to use them. For art, we have been doing line drawing of scottish animals and also doing crafts and preparing for the christmas markets which the P7 will be in charge of next Friday. Hope you enjoyed this weeks blog by Neiva and Sara. Byeeee!

This week in P7 we have been working on doing partitioning. We have been partitioning 7 digit numbers in our maths and multiplying them by a 1 digit number. For literacy we have been focusing on fronted adverbials and colons. The meteors spelling group have been focusing on the ory, ary and ery spelling rule and the moons spelling group were working on the trans, tele bi spelling rule. For this term in writing we are focusing on functional writing. This week we were writing newspapers and  for this weeks newspaper we wrote it on Book Week Scotland. In reading we have added a chair person who listens into  the conversation and gives out tally marks for using our dialogic skills: sitting nicely , engaging in the conversation and listens and looks at the person talking. That’s all for  today! Happy Friday! BYE <<<333 xxxx

For book week Scotland, the P1-3’s  had a lovely visit from Susan Wilson for their storytelling time. The P1-3’s love reading books especially when people read to them . The P7’s went down to their P1 buddies and read them books in the library or in the P1 classrooms. The P1’s loved getting read  to by the buddies . In our classes we have been doing DEAR time. Between P7 and the 7’s from P7/6 we have been reading Divided City for social studies and having discussions about the two teams : Rangers and Celtic. We also have books in our trays and we always update our library. We were also writing newspaper reports telling people all about Book Week Scotland. Some people went to the book club in the book nook on Wednesday with Miss Spencer and Mrs Tucker.

Love from Lucy and Eve!! xx
