P7A review of the week

We were delighted to get some new playground toys this week and this extra long skipping rope as been a big hit! Thank you Mrs Wilson!

So what else have we done this week?

  • Multiplying and Dividing Decimals
  • More long /o/ sounds in spelling

  • Fireworks banner
  • Working on our calendar page collage

Remembrance Day Information Reports

Our writing focus this block is on information reports. We decided to write an information report on Remembrance Day so we could find out more about it before the 11th November this year. We came up with headings and researched information using our iPads. We used our skimming and scanning skills to help select key information and pick up the main information from a page. Using our notes, we wrote and redrafted our reports and we are very proud of the results. We also looked at some literature based on World War 1. We found out about the poem Flanders Field by John McCrae and read a story by Michael Morpurgo. We were inspired by the poem Flanders Field and created some art using the poem and image of red poppies.

Here we are in some of our favourite or funkiest footwear:

P7B Review of the Week 23.10.20

It was lovely to welcome you all back after the October break. We have had a busy first week back with lots of new learning, a new class novel, an assembly, new guidance to keep ourselves safe, and a chance to catch up with our friends again.

Answer the questions below to review your learning experiences this week.

  1. What three things did you enjoy doing the most?

  2. What did you learn about yourself this week and what made you realise this?

  3. What would you like to have more time on?

Can you make the shapes?

P7B have been working together in problem solving to use their reading and maths skills. They read a description and tried to create a shape that fitted the description. We used our iPads to help with our drawings and learnt how to use the ruler function to measure and draw straight lines.

We found it was interesting that we all interpreted the instructions differently and there wasn’t just one way of creating the shape.

Here are a few of the descriptions – see if you can create the shape (it was much harder than we first thought).

  1.  A five-sided shape with one right angle and one pair of parallel sides.

  2.   A four-sided shape with two pairs of parallel sides, four equal sides and no right angles.

  3. A six-sided shape with no right angles and one pair of parallel sides.
