This week we were learning about plural nouns and possessive nouns. If a noun ends in y and there is a constant before the y you drop the y and add ies. e.g The lady had two babies. Some nouns are not plural and they need an apostrophe before the s because they are possesive for e.g the lady’s bag was red.
From now on we will be visiting the high school once a week to continue learning German. Mrs Mullen has been teaching us and we were working on numbers and birthdays. We can now follow their number pattern and can essentially count to 999. To ask someone what is their birthday you would say “Was ist ihre gerburstag?” they would then reply with their own birthday and “Meine Gerburstag ist – zwei und swanzig Mai zwei tousand und veir”.
In maths we have been multiplying and dividing decimals by 10, 100 and 1000. To divide a decimal you have to move the number to the right as many zeros are in the number that its being multiplied by, e.g if I divided 28.76 by 100 I would move it two times to the right and it would equal 0.2876.
We have been learning about the different types of rocks and the rock cycle. We discovered that there are three types of rock and the keep changing types. The three types of rocks are Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentry. We brought in some rocks to look at.
We have just completed our modelling novel ‘Clockwork’ and we all really enjoyed it.
Here is a picture of the posters we made about the rock cycle.
We also wrote narrative stories about meeting an alien. We used lots of the information from our space topic to help us.
You have learned a lot this week Primary 7, well done!
P1/2 think you are doing a great job and they want to read big books when they are in Primary 7.
