We’ve been working really hard this week and recovering from our fantastic Dalguise at Home week last week.
Some of the highlights from this week include –
What piece of learning stuck in your head the most this week?
What would you like to learn more about?
What do you need to do more of before we start assessments next week?
Can you believe it is October already? It has certainly felt a lot chillier today – please remember to wear layers from now on and always bring a coat!
Our fantastic week last week is featured in this week’s Peeblesshire News – check it out!
This week we have been reflecting on our “Residential at Home” week In our Writing and creating thank you cards for All the adults who made it possible. We’ve been learning a little about decimals in Numeracy and have continued developing our spelling of the long /e/ sound. Grammar focused on Singular and Plural and we also write descriptions of the Main Character from our Novel Study ‘Wonder’.
In Science we explored friction, tension and weight distribution when we designed and made our own mini Zip wires.
How successful was your zip wire? What worked/did not work and why? How did you fix any issues found while testing?
This week is Maths Week Scotland. P7B tried out the Edinburgh University School of Maths challenge this morning. We learnt about Richard, a video game programmer, who uses maths in his job every day. He set us a challenge to work out how many security cameras would be needed in rooms of different shapes. You can try the task by clicking on this link Security Camera Challenge.
There are so many more activities and tasks you can try out on the Maths Week Scotland website just click here and explore.
