A warm welcome from our incredible P7 class! We are a class of 23 diligent learners and we all come from different countries like China, Italy, Spain, Ukraine, Philippines, Afghanistan, Ireland, Slovakia and much more! Our class teacher is Mr Downs and he is awesome because he helps us with anything we need and is super kind! We also have the lovely Mrs Gow who is also with us on a Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Our support staff are Mrs Dunn and Mrs Seabrook and they try their best to help us with whatever we need.
In P7 our opinions are respected and valued. An example of this is that we vote for our important decisions and have a super suggestion box that we can use to tell Mr Downs how we can improve our class. We have pride in all of our work because we try our hardest and always give 110%. We never just turn up in this class, we show up!
Something that is unique to our P7 class is that we have flexible seating and you can decide where to sit every day. You can choose from our super sofa if you feel that you want to be comfortable that day, or our great high tables if you are feeling heroic and top of the world! Some others are our remarkable round table, our rainbow table and our superb square desk. Flexible seating means that you can choose where to sit everyday so that you can experiment with new groups of people every day, and find out who you work well with.
You can’t help but notice our incredible art plastered all over the walls and don’t think that’s all that goes on in this classroom because we are as busy as worker ants in here. If you looked in our jotters you would be blown away by the standard of our perpetually outstanding work, even the labels are done with pride.
There is no tomfoolery in this classroom! We are always on task and we respect each other’s differences. We also understand that everyone learns at different levels, at different times and are better at some subjects that other people might not be as good at.
Something that makes our class different from the rest is how in every lesson we co-construct our success criteria and then at the end of our lesson we look back and see if we have done what we said we needed to do for a successful lesson. This also links in to our 5’Cs where we look and see what of our 5’Cs we are going to need to use in the lesson. If you are wondering what the 5’cs are, well they are Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking, Curiosity and Creativity and they are very important to our school.
In conclusion, we are going to have the best year possible, with 6 years of learning under our belts and a year of fun and work ahead of us, we are going to SMASH through the year with tons of memories ready to be made!
