Hello and welcome to Primary 7’s Reflective Friday Blog Post.

This month the children have written the post themselves.

Literacy by Michael and Ushna 

In Primary 7 we have been reading Mosi’s War and Wonder. We have now finished both books and we have watched the movie Wonder. We have loved the 2 books and we do recommend  reading these books.

This month our story  writing has been Christmas themed . Our titles have been, ‘Christmas in Our Home’ and ‘A Christmas Conversation which involved a boy called Andrew who saw Santa putting down the presents . ‘A Special Snowman’ was a story about a griping tale of a snowman that came to life on Christmas Eve.

 

Numeracy by Ava

This month we have been working on division and we have been learning how to do division mentally. This month we have also been focusing on data handling. We know what a bar graph and a pie chart are. We have been working very hard on these topics this month.

 

RE by Sophia

December is the feast of the Immaculate Conception which we enjoyed learning about. We  also reminded ourselves of the importance of advent. We made our own advent wreath and learned about the significance of each candle.

 

PE by Max and Ryan

Active schools have been coming with in on Tuesdays. Firstly we tried orienteering and also athletics. We have also been running with Mrs Gilfedder on our Thursdays,

In PE we have been doing Rounders. For rounders we have been using cones, balls and bats. In rounders there are two teams Fielders and Batters. If you ask all the children you will figure being a Batter is the most fun.

 

Learning Across The Curriculum – Japan by Cavan, Ethan and Hassan

We have been learning about famous people, cities, landmarks, and places on the map in Japan. This has taught us about Tokyo, The Shibuya Crossing, and The Imperial Palace. We have also learned about Thomas Blake Glover who originated from Scotland but moved to Japan. He introduced Japan to the railway system, which today is one of the most advanced rail systems in the world. He was also responsible for founding the Mitsubushi car company.

Japan has been our topic since the end of November and we have learned lots about it. We learned about Japanese schools and how much they care about their hygiene.  Did you know they brush their teeth after lunch? We have also been learning how to write our names in kanji also known as Japanese writing and we have learned how to count up to ten. We have drawn manga characters and if you are wondering what manga is its basically a Japanese style comic book which are normally about action and adventure.

In our topic (Japan) we have been learning about lots of things. One of them is Volcanoes (Mount Fuji). We have also been learning about the ring of fire which has LOTS of natural disasters.

Art by Farhan

In P7 we have been doing lots of fun art, recently. we did a popular Japanese art, named the Great Wave and we used water colour. Also since its Christmas  we created a Grinch art with oil pastels.  We created the nativity scene, at first it looked odd with lots of shapes but later it looks impressive.

Primary 7 and Mrs Gilfedder would like to wish everyone a very happy and healthy Christmas.
