Here is a look at our class charter. I’m sure you’ll agree it’s looking great!

A huge congratulations to Hallside for achieving our Rights Respecting School Award. Our class were very involved in the assemblies, presentations and walk rounds with our class reps (below) having a major role to play. Our class also had a question session with the assessor. She was very impressed by your answers, as was I. Very proud of you all! Well done and enjoy your weekend.

Well done to all the children in our class who received certificates at assembly this week. Keep up the good work!

We all had a brilliant day on our trip to Cathkin High to take part in the mini sports event.

Here are some photos from today’s gymnastics session. I’ve been very impressed with the effort and talent on show.

Another busy week ahead for P7.

• PE on Tuesday – remember kit.
• Cathkin Minisports on Thursday morning. Remember to be on time and have a full gym kit. (There will also be a meeting for parents on this evening. A letter should go out this week with more details.)
• Rights Respecting School Assessment Day. Some of you will be presenting to the infant assembly and we will have visitors to our classroom to observe lessons. Fingers crossed they see what goes on every day at Hallside.

What are we learning?

Language – We’ve now started the writing assessment. Hopefully we’ll finish these and have them marked soon. We’ve continued with the spelling from last week to allow us time to look at definitions and revise them more carefully. There will be a test on Friday. We will do a little reciprocal reading from Think Me Back and some Key Comprehension work.

Maths – We’ll complete our rounding work and move onto Place Value.

RRS – We’ll hopefully complete our class charter. We can post pictures on here for parents to admire! We will have a visitor to observe lessons on respecting rights.

Look at how lovely and smart we all look now.

A few folk have mentioned difficulty with RM Easimaths at home. Best way to get access is through Glow using your own login details. This works best using a desktop computer as it requires flashplayer. There is an Easimaths app for ipad and android which you can download and login to using your own details. (through RM Unify option)

If this doesn’t help, you can get a wee note from home to say it’s ok to spend 1 breaktime in class to complete the session.
