This term from January to March we plan to cover the following:
Numeracy – we will be concluding our topic on Angles and Symmetry before commencing learning in Fractions, Decimals and Percentages – an important topic that can be supported well with a good understanding times tables. We hope to cover this through a range of contexts and so we will cover some aspects of Money and Multiples, Factors and Primes through this work also.
We will also be covering some work on Perimeter and Area.
Literacy – we will commence working on our new T4W text The Gasmask, a Portal story that has strong links with our WWII topic (see information below). Following this we will look at Persuasive Writing in Non-Fiction, developing our skills and capabilities in this area.
In Guided Reading we continue to develop our skills through Accelerated Reading and Text based skills cards. This term we are focussing on skills of Inference and Author Style.
Health and Wellbeing – This term in P.E. we will be learning Scottish Country Dances as well taking part in gymnastics and basketball lessons.
Other Curricular Areas –
From January to mid-February the class have chosen to learn about Scotland’s History as part of our Scots Learning. Each group has chosen as specific Scottish Event and will conduct research surrounding this event. We will then produce a whole class timeline to showcase these events.
From mid-February to March we will be learning about Living Things in Science, Construction and Buoyancy in Technologies and the gospels of Matthew and Luke in RME. We will continue with our learning in French and focusing on Food Health alongside our PATHs learning in Health and Wellbeing.
Primary 7 will also have the opportunity to participate in some learning with Primary 6 and St John Bosco Primary 6 and 7 around the novel Divided City.
