It has been a busy first full week in Primary 7.   Here are some of the things we learned/enjoyed this week in class:

For writing this week, we completed a biography about a person who inspires us.  First of all, we researched facts about our idol and then took notes on a planning template.  We then used our notes to form a biography in our own words.  We learned that features of a biography includes;  written in 3rd person, past tense, chronological order, headings and key events and dates.

In art, we chose inspirational quotes to encourage other pupils.  We turned this into pop art.  We looked at the colour wheel and chose contrasting colours for our backgrounds to make our quotes stand out.  Here is an example of one of the quotes we used:

‘success comes in cans, not in cannots.’

In maths we learned about different properties of 3D shapes.  We learned how to identify the number of faces, edges and vertices on 3D shapes.  Today we learned a special rule- to calculate the number of edges, you can add the number of faces and vertices then subtract two.  We also learned some new shape names such as octahedrons and  tetrahedrons.  We also learned the definition of a prism.
