Transition (Friday 5th June)

Transition Task

There are a few transition activities to take part in today whether you are to Castlehead or St Andrew’s.

Castlehead

Most of you should have received the newsletter with regards to the virtual transition that is taking place. There are a few activities that you can complete today that were mentioned on the newsletter; Science and Modern Languages. They have set up a Teams page which you should have been added to and so can complete the tasks there. They also have a teacher from Castlehead available to answer your questions.

 

St Andrews

St Andrew’s twitter page have been posting introduction videos from some of their staff members as part of your transition. Please go on and have a look to meet some of the teachers and learn more about them. I have placed the link to their school social media below where you can find the videos.

Happy Tuesday

Good Morning P7 🙂

Hope you have all been well and spending time with your families. I’m sure some of you have started to meet up with one of your friends at a distance since we are now allowed to. It was so nice to finally see my mum and take the dogs a walk, staying 2m away from each other.

Yesterday I posted an item about Transition. Please make sure you go on a look at the documents attached as they are important. Those going to St Andrew’s, your transition booklets were sent out so please check your emails.

Today activities are as follows:

Literacy – Read Chapters 15 and 16 then complete comprehension questions based on chapters 13-15 of Holes,

Maths – Data Handling Q7 – 13

Technology – Illusions Challenge.

Have a god day and cannot wait to see your work!

Miss Todd 🙂

Good Morning!

 

 

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous so I hope you have been making the most of it. Don’t forget your sun cream!

I cannot believe today is the 1st June! This year has flown by and I am sure you all agree. Not long until the Summer Holiday’s now and you move on to High School, which I am sure is both exciting and scary. So lets make the last month of Primary School absolutely amazing! 🙂

Today’s work includes:

Literacy – Holes: Read Chapters 13-14 and write a summary of what happened.

Maths – Data Handling

Music – Rewrite the lyrics to your favourite song to make to about your time here at Glencoats.

Have a good day and don’t forget to post your work on SeeSaw for me to see!

Miss Todd 🙂

Literacy (Friday 29th May)

Since it’s Friday and It has been a while since I have seen you, I would love for you to do some free writing about what you have been up to this week or even what you did over the long weekend. You can even tell me what you and your family have been up to during lockdown.

You can tell me as little or as much as you want! I cannot wait to hear all about it.

Miss Todd Takeover!

Hi Everyone! Miss Todd has officially taken over P7!

I feel so lucky to be working with you all again even if it is for a short period of time while Mr Craig enjoys his new baby boy! I have already been looking and commenting on some of the work you have been producing on Seesaw. I have been so impressed with what I have seen so far.

If you require any support or advice then you can always send an email and I will try my best to help you. These next few weeks are going to be awesome!

For today, I have posted a Maths Challenge (we all know Miss Todd loves a Maths Challenge!), an Art Task and a Literacy Task. Have fun with them and I look forward to seeing all you hard work!
