Today, P7 were learning about Haiku, Limerick and Narrative poems. We focussed on creating similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia and personification examples about the Nothern Lights and our chosen settings in our art. We then used these to create poems. Pupils chose which type of poem format they wanted to follow.  I am so proud of every single pupil for their hard work given to their poems. Here are a couple of examples…

Today, P7 were creating their own setting and display for our Natural Wonder of the World, the Northern Lights.
We have also been focusing on our handwriting and letter joins.

Today was Woodlands March for MacMillan. We created flags and decorated them to raise awareness of the great work MacMillan do 💚.

Have a lovely September weekend everyone and stay safe 🌈 ❤️. See you all on Tuesday 😊🌟

This morning, P7 discussed and listed their strengths and challenges. We then discussed how people can react differently to situations than how we intended them to for several reasons. We created drama scenarios in small groups outside to showcase how a simple interaction can escalate if we don’t use our verbal and non-verbal communication skills. 🌟

P7 had their last session with the NL Sports Coordinates on Friday. We were working on our communication skills and team work skills through orienteering tasks. We thoroughly enjoyed learning our skills over the past month with our coaches. Thank you! 👏 🌟

P7 had their PE today, focussing on our fitness. We practised the warm up game our Sports Coordinators taught us. We done some fitness races in teams. We also incorporated our communication skills to practise good listening and speaking clearly and loudly to our partners in a context through team Chaos. 👏 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

P7 also scripted, recorded, photographed and edited our Meet the Teacher video today! Stay tuned for some Lights, Camera, Action 💡 📸  🎬 🎥

This afternoon, P7 watched some clips and learned about another new, man made Wonder of the World; Machu Picchu. This is a lost city in Peru made by the Inca’s. We took notes and used these to create posters in our jotters. 
 

This afternoon, P7 focussed on our communication skills; specifically listening and talking clearly and loudly, through a game of “I went to the shop and bought…”

Today, all pupils were given a hand template as part of their homework from Miss Ferguson 🖐 . Please fill in 5 different adjectives to describe you, one on each finger. On the palm of the hand can be a design and or your name, using colour and anything which is about you, important to you or your likes/ hobbies/ interests. Miss  Ferguson is looking for it to be neat, colourful and eye catching! Please return when you can 😁🌟🤩.

Please remember to continue practising your tables for our class games and your challenge is still available on Sumdog!

Well done to JM, RM, JF, HM, DB & AE for completing the challenge already 👏 👍

Today, P7 were using their communication skills, carefully focusing on ensuring their instructions are clear and precise and their partners ensuring they’re listening very carefully to draw the picture described.

Today, we practised more sign language and signed a word to our partner who has to guess the word.
Well done to this girl for completing our 100 word story challenge👏 🌟 .
