P7

So far in primary 7 we have had a lovely start to the year. We have been enjoying our new topic the solar system. We have been learning about all the planets there are 4 rocky planets and 4 gas giants. This is the order of the planets from the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.We have also been learning about the moon. We found out that it is made of rock and light weight gasses.

In drama we have been doing a court case inspired by harry potter. All of us had a character to play we set up the classroom as if it was a court we had the judges table and lots more it was fun.

In maths, we have been practising our rounding skills. We high 5 if the number rounds up and low 5 if this rounds down.

This was great fun and helped us with our learning during further examples !! 

 

Primary 7 Homework 1

Hi and welcome to our blog! We have been learning and working hard already in primary 7.

For literacy we have been doing our reading modelling block on a novel called Clockwork by Philip Pullman. It has been an interesting read so far. We have been also focusing on our spelling words and common words in order to develop our knowledge further.

In maths we have been doing lots of work on doubling, times tables and rounding. Each day we take part in an active Maths task in order to develop our skills and challenge ourselves.

In PE we have started a block of athletics. This has related to the Olymics which we are all excited about. We have developed our fitness and ability to work in teams during relay races to try and beat our personal bests.

Our first topic is the Solar System. We have learned so much already about each of the planets and have worked out the distances of each planet from the sun. We made up mnemonics to remember the order of the planets and have worked in our groups to create the planets for a wall display.

We are looking forward to learning so much more in all of these areas and much more throughout Primary 7.

 

We visited BBC Studios and watched a recording of a new programme called Top Class. it was the final. Two teams were competing to be the nation’s Top class. There were lots of different quiz rounds: Spelling, Quick fire round and others. There was an opening question and the team that got that right gained control of the round. Teachers from the schools also took part.  One of the competitors became ill and a substitute took over.When we were in the audience, the cameras were turned onto us, so we’ll be on TV. We saw Dick and Dom who were recording this year’s Christmas special in May! We  also saw other famous people in a VIP  – Ricky from Art Ninja,Susan Calman, a comedian, Leona Vaughn from Wolf Blood, Nina from Nina and the Neurons and a Kevin Bridges cardboard cut out.

It was a good day out. It would be good to be there when a drama or a news programme was being recorded.

 

 

homework May1 P7 final Project

Yesterday in health our class made coronation chicken pasta salad. We worked in groups of threes or fours. Coronation chicken has most of the food groups and is very healthy. Here  is my evidence to prove it.

pasta= carbs

chicken= protein

sauce= fats and sugar

cucumber and lettuce = fruit and veg

It was very fun to do and we all enjoyed it.Some people learned new skills like the claw and the bridge, they are cutting skills. We got to eat it and it tasted very good. Here are some pictures of people in the class making  them.
