P7 Maths – The 72 Learn It Facts
‘Learn Its’ are addition facts and times tables facts. There are 72 Learns Its in total; 36 addition Learn Its and 36 multiplication Learn Its. These are facts that children need to learn off by heart, so when they are asked ‘What is 6+4 ?’ they are able to give the answer as quickly as they would be able to tell you their name. As soon as they know 3×5=15 they also know 5×3=15 (This is known as a ‘Switcher’).
Please work at home to make sure you really do know your Learn Its and your Switchers with INSTANT RECALL (no fingers!)
You will all receive a copy of these to glue into your Homework diaries, to ask an adult at home to help you practise these. Remember to mix up the order to really test yourself!
P7 Songs for PACE
Please learn the lyrics for the two songs below:
Standing Up
Music by David Ramsay & Alan Orr, Lyrics by Pauline Ramsay
Paisley has a chance, a positive future
As city of culture 2021
To take on this task we know is a challenge
But Buddies unite and we’ll get it done
We will be proud to celebrate Paisley
We have a say in what this could mean
We will be part of brighter tomorrows
We have the drive and we share the dream
Standing up, to be counted
Back the bid and Paisley will thrive
Standing up, for our future
This will change the rest of our lives
The story you’ve seen of Weavers and Wallace
Historically what has made Paisley so great
We’re not just a town that’s somewhere near Glasgow
And now it’s our time, we really can’t wait
Standing up, to be counted
Back the bid and Paisley will thrive
Standing up, for our future
This will change the rest of our lives
This is Our Day
Music and Lyrics by David Ramsay
VERSE ONE
One thread that binds us holds us so strong forever
One thread reminds us we must all stand together
One thread unites us with its unseen power
Leads us to victory our finest hour
CHORUS
This is our day, and there’s
No-one here who’ll stop us have our say
Now the time has come for us
This is our day, this is our day
BRIDGE
Put your hand in mine
Now is the time
Our future’s on the line
So reach out and take it
Reach out and take it
CHORUS
This is our day, and there’s
No-one here who’ll stop us have our say
Now the time has come for us
This is our day, this is our day
This is our day and there’s
No-one here who’ll stop us have our say
Now the time has come for us
This is our day
This is our day
This is our day x2

Comparing Lives in Japan and Scotland
Learning Outcome:
By comparing the lifestyle and culture of citizens in Japan with those of Scotland, I can discuss the similarities and differences. SOC 2-19a
Skill for Learning: Analysis – I can compare and contrast lifestyles in Japan with Scotland by using my own personal experience and research.
Please use the weblinks below as well as the topic books to find out as much as you can about life for children and adults in Japan. You will then use this information to compare it to your own life and the adults you interviewed. You should take notes (key words and phrases) about the daily routine of Japanese children and adults. While you are researching, you should be thinking about your life and the information you gathered from your interview(s) of adults. Other questions to think about and information to research:
- child’s daily routine (what time do they get up? go to school? go to bed?)
- what is school life like for a Japanese child?
- what do children/adults/families do in their spare time?
- what age do children start school and move onto secondary school?
- what are men and women’s role in the family?
- how often do they spend time as a family (including their grandparents)?
- what are typical daily meals?
