This month has been very busy for primary 7 as we have taken part in a wide range of activities.

During numeracy we have been exploring chance and uncertainty as well as some algebra and revising our time skills. The children have worked hard to consolidate their basic number knowledge and strategies in preparation for high school in August. Consistent practice of these skills, especially telling the time at home, will continue to assist them in progressing their learning and help them to feel more confident using these life skills everyday.

During literacy we have created some amazing imaginative stories during our writing lessons. The pupils have such wonderful ideas and imaginations which is clear through their writing. We have been taking time to use our ICT skills to create power points and word documents in relation to our Venice topic and linking to our novel ‘The Thief Lord’. I was very impressed with the efforts all pupils gave during their Venice projects and solo talks.

During health and wellbeing, we have enjoyed continued sessions from the Scottish rugby and focused on our team building skills during PE. We have also completed activities and discussions surrounding personal hygiene, friendships, influences and a growth mindset which all pupils have participated in well.

We were very lucky to spend four days at Strathclyde Park at the end of May, taking part in a variety of activities and sports which was a huge success. The pupils attended every day and absolutely loved each and every new sport and skill they learned. I am so proud of their excellent display of behaviour and teamwork across our trip.

During RE lessons this month we have focused on Mary our Mother and learned all about her life, her names and her values. The children have also learned the Angelus prayer and we have made an effort to practice this as often as we can at 12pm each day. Pupils have also taken care dressing our May altar with flowers this month too!

As we enter our final month of primary school, the pupils are making the most of their time left at Holy Family. Their hard work is paying off and I am looking forward to making these next few weeks special for them with lots of exciting activities. Well done Primary 7B!
