P7 Blog – December
Literacy
This month we have been working on Media as a whole class. We focussed on the film Ferdinand and have been making predictions about the film. We also analysed the sound, camera angles, plot and characters! We can’t wait to watch it together when it comes out on DVD!!!
We have also been working on some winter poetry! We included visual language, metaphors and similes and re-drafted our poems in our own way!
Our Literacy target for January is to be able to explain the validity and reliability of non-fiction sources.
Numeracy
This month we have been working really hard on money! We have really enjoyed this concept as we have linked it to Our Enterprise is the Business! We practised our money skills in a real life context by budgeting to buy our materials, giving change on the stall and calculating our profit!!
We made £73 profit!!!!
Our Money knowledge wasn’t the only learning we applied during Enterprise! We had to measure the ingredients to create our Tasty Trees and create the cone molds by making the net of a cone and assembling it!
Our Numeracy target for January is to create and identify a range of fractions and link then to their decimal and percentage equivalents.
Health and Wellbeing
At the start of December we went to Ravenscraig to compete against many other schools in Athletics! We had a great time and got to use all of the skills we have been learning in P.E. for each of the different events!
Our health and wellbeing target for January is to improve our fitness by completing 30 minutes of circuits per week.
IT‘S CHRISTMASSSSSSSS!!!!!
Our Christmas Concert was a great success! Our two songs – Little Saint Nick and Jingle Bell Rock were a big hit and we loved performing in front of a crowd! Thank you to everyone who came along to support us!
Our Chrsitmas Party was great fun!! We played games and danced the afternoon away! Our two star Ceilidh dancers – were Andrew and Jay! Well done boys!!!
Everyone looked fantastic and had a great time!!
Look out for our Targets and New Years Resolutions in our January Blog!!
