Welcome<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello everyone and a very warm welcome to Primary 7! I am looking forward very much to working with your children in their final year at primary school. I know you will agree that P7 is a most important time in your child\u2019s school career and my job with them is to enable\u00a0 them to achieve everything they are capable of and to be fully prepared for the next step! If you have anything you need to ask, please send in a note with your child or alternatively, drop me an e-mail on nlkerrg1@glow.sch.uk. Here\u2019s to a successful year and I look forward to meeting you all soon.<\/p>\n

Homework<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Homework folders will normally be used on TUESDAY each week, with returns due the following MONDAY. This gives a full week to complete any tasks. There will be a mixture of written and practical type tasks, in paper format and on our Teams page.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Our Topic<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

September\/October\u2014We are currently reading \u2018Ghost Soldier\u2019 by Theresa Breslin, set in Scotland during World War One, which the children are really enjoying. (Ask them to tell you about it!) This will lead us in to a closer study of The Great War 1914-1918. At the end of this study we will present our Class Assembly on Remembrance (hopefully on 11th Nov).<\/p>\n

November\/December\u2014Our main focus will shift to \u2018Our Wonderful World\u2019 where will look at the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Industrial World and the Modern World.<\/p>\n

These topics will give the children a wide range of experiences and extend their learning.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Rules and Values<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As well as the school rules of Ready, Respectful and Safe, a class challenge has been set up based on the School Values\u2014Honesty, Integrity, Inclusion, Respect.<\/p>\n

I am also encouraging P7 to take on additional responsibilities around the classroom and around the school.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Twitter<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I will try to post regular snapshots of our learning on Twitter. We would love for you to follow us @KeirHardieMem<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Literacy and Numeracy<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Literacy\u2014After we complete our study of \u2018Ghost Soldier\u2019 we will move to a block of group novels\u2014fiction and then non-fiction.<\/p>\n

Spelling will continue at appropriate group levels and will focus on how words are put together and the rules (with exceptions). A range of active tasks is provided to ensure hands-on learning. Grammar and handwriting will run alongside each of these other important aspects of literacy.<\/p>\n

Numeracy\u2014again a practical approach is adopted to allow children to learn through discovery. We will focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as aspects of measure and shape.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
Other Information<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
