P7 this week!

So far this week in p7 we have been learning lots of different things in literacy, maths, IDL, German and PE.

Literacy: In literacy we have been reading new novels like clockwork, dragonfire, butterfly lion and the demon headmaster. We’ve also been doing our spelling strategies to help us spell our new common words.

Maths: For maths we have been learning how to times, add, subtract and divide using decimals E.G:  2.16×100=216

Also we have been doing circles with Mrs Bokas we have learnt different types and parts of a circle. Also our class loves to play 2 maths games buzz and corners.

IDL: Our topic on the solar system is coming to an end we have learnt all the planets in order, Mercury, Venus, Earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus  ,Neptune and pluto and lots more interesting facts.

German: In class we have been learning some German with our German teacher Connie we have learnt lots of words and numbers.

P.E: For P.E we have been going to the high school on Mondays to do orienteering and athletics it has been really fun because in orienteering we get to run around the whole school area. In athletics we also participated in sprinting and skipping. Also on Tuesday we have been doing jumpstart johnny for a warm up and also think we might do it for our leavers assembly.

Non Chronological Reports

In Literacy we have been learning how to write non chronological reports. These are reports that are not in order of time. You would not use these when you write a biography or if you are writing reports where time doesn’t matter. We used this to write a report on bugs.

To write this effectively we need to –

  • Use present tense verbs
  • Use technical words
  • Use titles and captions
  • Have an introduction
  • Include facts and figures
  • Use topic specific words
  • Use connectives

In everyday life we could use this skill when writing an essay in university or college. If we were making an information leaflet this skill would be useful.
