We have been exploring reports and were working together to identify the main features of a report.

We have been improving our listening and note-taking skills in class today. We watched short video clips explaining what biodiversity is and throughout each clip we listened carefully to identify the important information. We wrote our notes explaining different kinds of biodiversity to help us write a report later on.

In class we have been learning about fractions. Today we have been learning to convert percentages into fractions. Everyone found it a bit hard at first but Mrs.Park helped us to get it.

Today we were learning about relationships 😀. We were in groups discussing how you should treat each other in a relationship.Then the whole class were discussing the main points and then we wrote them on the board. We all agreed that one of the main points was that they cared for each other. Here are some examples of the main points, spending time with each other, respect each other, care for each other, who you get on with and someone who loves you for you!  By Demi and Melissa 💖.

Today P7 went on an Easter egg hunt round the school looking for Easter eggs.  We hid eggs and we put random clues with them. Then  when every group had hid one, the teacher read out a clue and then we all went hunting. Every one didn’t get one at the first clue but got one at the second and every one was given an equal amount.  No one got extra. We made baskets and that’s what we kept our Easter eggs in and we got to keep everything we found and the person that found it got an egg and read out a clue.

Modern Languages

In class we have been developing our existing knowledge of French vocabulary with a focus on pets and animals. With Easter coming this weekend can you identify the French words for the following:

• Happy Easter
• Easter Bunny
• Chocolate egg
• Easter Egg
• Chicken
• Chicks
• Easter basket
• Daffodil

Further opportunities for learning:

• Once you have identified the vocabulary why not create a word search in French using the words you have found? You can bring it into class and give it to someone else to complete.
• Create a mini-book detailing some of the ways Easter is celebrated by the children in France.
• Create a PowerPoint using the vocabulary you have identified to help someone else learn some French vocabulary

Numeracy

In class we have been learning how to simplify improper fractions using the times tables. After we have simplified the fractions we have been learning how to order them on a number line. It would be very beneficial to try this at home independently.

Here is an example of some improper fractions you may use:

Now order the simplified fractions on a number line:

Further opportunities for learning:

• Simplify some of your own examples of improper fractions
• Create your own number lines using the improper fractions you have simplified
• Revise your 7 times table

Easter Eggstravaganza

Thursday 24^th March will mark the Woodlands Egg decorating competition. The eggs will be judged on the day and winners for each stage will subsequently be announced. It is a sporting theme this year to coincide with this summer’s Olympics and European Football Championship. I look forward to seeing your eggcellent sporting creations! Please remember to boil your egg before you decorate it!

Why not create a holiday greetings card to send to someone using the French vocabulary you have learned? You could write the whole card in French to make it eggstra special!

Remember you can use your jotter to record any work completed and to show me what you have been learning about at home, I would love to see what you have created! Also if you are unsure of any work you have completed I am always here to help or check how you have gotten on.
