This week we handed out our first newspaper for February, our next   one will be March (you will either get it the end of march or the start of April).

February we had Mrs Ruddy’s column, our comedy column and our inspirational quote of the week.  We also had Mrs. Hunters column and other interesting things u can find on twitter.  The p7s  chose the playmakers of the month in the sports column.

The p7s chose the joke , riddle and maths question of the month which will keep you busy.

On Tuesday we were playing Rugby in P.E. First we warmed up with benchball, dodgeball and king. King is basically dodgeball but you pick someone to be king or queen in each team, and then you tell the teacher who it is and then you begin the game. If you get hit by the ball you sit down and the king/queen taps you on the shoulder but if the king/queen gets hit by the ball the opposing  team wins the game. Then we started with rugby.  Firstly we ran lines in groups of three to practise passing backwards. Then we played 10 pass which is a game that you will get split 4 teams and 2 teams go against each other to see what team can get ten passes first without getting  intercepted (the ball getting hit out of play)  overall it was very fun!!

This week in P7 we have done loads of things!

Currently, we are making a space news timeline, including all of the big space events that have changed history. We have been doing this with Miss Friedlein  and will be continuing next Wednesday.

On Thursday we researched the similarities and differences between Spain and Scotland. We found out many interesting things about both countries, as well as doing 2 math’s assessments earlier that day.

For the past couple of weeks we have been focusing on angles with Miss Mutton, but particularly this week we have been learning about corresponding and alternate angles.

In reading, the orange group have been reading Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson. Many of us that have read this book in the past have really enjoyed it and would really recommend this book.

We can’t believe it’s almost Term 4! This means even more assessments 🙁

We hope everyone has a great weekend. Thank you for reading this weeks blog. Bye!

Numeracy:

This week in math’s we have been multiplying, adding, and subtracting fractions. Our class  were split into two groups for math’s – the Crystals and the Gems. Towards the end of the week the Crystals were multiplying fractions in a context, then the Gems were doing something similar, subtraction in a context.

On Wednesday with Miss McMath, we were doing measure and the perimeter of shapes and improper shapes. We also created our own shapes and measured the perimeter of them on our whiteboards. A few of us presented our shape to the rest of the class.

Literacy:

This week in literacy we wrote CV’s for  jobs we would like to do in the future. Just before writing we thought of our Skills and Qualities to help us with our paragraphs.

On Thursday we learnt about camera angles and identifying camera angles. We also learned about after watching strategies for the short film For The Birds.

ICT/Technology:

In ICT we were doing Excel/Coding. We typed in numbers in the columns and put in a code to get the answer, like a calculator. You should try it yourself!

Again in ICT on Thursday we all chose a language to research and learn. For example we chose Russian, Japanese, Ukrainian, French, Tamil etc. A few of us spoke at Assembly to say some phrases and numbers 1-10.

STEM:

Miss Mutton won’t tell us what we are doing at the moment, all she will tell us is that it is something with paper? We assume we are doing the tallest tower. Some of us were with Miss Mutton last year and the year before as well as the STEM club in Primary 5 two years ago. So from remembering that we may be doing the tallest tower….. We will see!!!!

Wordle/Literacy:

On Tuesday afternoon Miss Mutton wasn’t there so Miss Morris came in. She did Wordle with us, and we had a lot of fun.

If you don’t know what Wordle is, it’s a game where you guess the word someone has picked. If the letter goes orange, it’s in the word but not in the right place. If the letter goes green, it’s in the word and in the right place. No colour or Grey means that it is not in the word at all.

We had a lot of fun guessing our classmates words and confusing each other with very difficult words.

PE:

Lastly at PE with Miss McMath we had Gymnastics. To start we did stretch’s and handstands, headstands and cartwheels.

On Tuesday with AJ – Miss Mutton’s friend from Rugby – we did some Rugby tackling.

We also did some  games like Tig, Constant Tig, and a game with the Rugby balls. Basically, we had  3 catchers and 3 free-ers with the Rugby balls. The catchers would do what they usually do in a normal game of Tig. The free-ers would pass the ball to people that have been caught, then they would throw the ball back to them.

We had a lot of fun this week and we are certainly excited to see the events of next week. Thank you so much for reading! See you all next week.
