Primary 7a have been working really hard in the past month!

They have been continuing to read their class novel ‘Divided City’ and are really enjoying looking at the different themes and ideas that this book explores.

In Maths we have been working hard on our times tables and learning to use them in different ways. They should be encouraged to practise these at home as much as they can. The class have really challenged themselves to try more complex math problems involving their times tables and have learned how to use the lattice method to solve multiplying digits with more than one number.

In Health and wellbeing we have been exploring substance misuse and the class have worked really hard to learn about the negative impact that substances can have on their bodies. They were really shocked to hear some of the facts behind smoking and drinking alcohol. I am sure they be happy to share some of what they have learned with you at home.

We have been learning about the lives of some Saints this month as our focus has been the month of All Saints and we have enjoyed learning about how they have became Saints and how they lived their lives.

We are really looking forward to the month of December and all the fun activities we will have during this time!
