This term has seen us working on the topic of Place Value, Rounding and Estimation. Today, we added in some Information Handling work into our Rounding lessons and revisited how we use Venn Diagrams to organise information.
The children were given labels for each part of their Venn Diagram. They then had to create the numbers to go in each section, remembering to include those that fit both categories and those that fit none!
We then checked each other’s calculations and some pupils had time to create their own labels and numbers at the end of the lesson.
Primary 7s have been busy clearing out the pond in our school nature garden. When we first arrived, we weren’t sure if there was a pond in there – it was so overgrown!
Everyone got straight to work. It wasn’t long before we began to see lots of frogs appearing to take a look at what we were up to.
Some pupils are very keen to get right in the middle of the action. We are wondering if we should try to measure how much water comes out of their wellies each week, when it is time to head back to class!
We are enjoying our pond visits and finding out how we can improve this area, so that the frogs continue to thrive and return year after year. Some special plants and bugs have been kindly donated, to help breathe new life into our pond.
What a lovely week it has been meeting up with everyone again. We have had lots of fun in class and outside and we finished off this afternoon with a game of hide and seek in the forest!
Have a lovely weekend and see you on Monday 😃
On Friday 10th June we had our first Focus Friday for a few years! It was lovely to meet up with our team mates again and to work together on ideas for school improvement in the coming year.
Here are some photos from the afternoon
Today we started to find out about electricity. We used the equipment that Ms Scanlan received from her SSERC science training last year. We found out about how circuits work, so that we could light a lamp and we found out about electrons.
On 6th November, Emma Chittick came to P7 to start our renewable energy topic. We talked about the difference between renewable and non renewable energy, saw how turbines generate energy and were given the equipment to make our own turbines.
Last week P6/7 started to plan the next two sections of their French topic. We found out about what everyone already knows, watched a few short videos about France and then using our skills planner, decided what we could do next.
Each group planned what they are going to include for their group and each group member decided what they are going to do each week. We’re really looking forward to finding out and presenting all the information.
Today we had our last STEM session. Emma Chittick was really pleased with all the skills that the class demonstrated, not just ICT skills, but cooperation and helping each other too.
Cole said “It was fun, going around the pretend city. It was also fun controlling the robots and telling them what to.”
Archie said “It was good. I most enjoyed programming the robots.”
Christie said “I loved the way you could do the task in your own way.”
Joanna said “ It was fun and it could make people more aware about all the different things you can do with screens.”
Emmy said “It was to learn about the driverless cars and the advantages and disadvantages of them.”
Faith “It was fun to programme your own robot.”
So here they are, the wonderful, fun loving new P6/7s Just another blogs.glowscotland.org.uk – Shetland site
