P7a News

Here is a selection of P7a’s highlights this week.

The Christmas postbox has been put out and pupils can post cards to their friends which P7’s will sort and deliver.  Please remember to write on the class which the card is to be delivered too!

We have been using VCOP to help improve our writing.  V is for vocabulary, C is for connectives, O is for openers and P is for punctuation. 

P7 have been busy practising our social dance skills and are looking forward to the party on 17th December. 

We have been using Blooms Taxonomy to help our thinking skills in reading. 

On the 3rd December we had our Christmas lunch and it was delicious! Thank you to all the dinner staff for feeding us well! 

We have started working on our travel leaflets for our Commonwealth transition project.  We began designing front cover ideas and researching facts about our country. 

We have been working on creative dance with Ms Barr in music and are working on a movement dance to Jingle Bells. 

Our topic is based on ‘Our World’ and we are enjoying learning about why we have day and night and the seasons.  We have found out some interesting facts that we didn’t know and have learned about the structure of the earth. 

Last week our 3 star writers were Holly, Bethany and Reece.  Well done!

FACT OF THE WEEK (As suggested by Natalie!)

Did you know that it take 365.24 days for the earth to orbit the sun?

Christmas Craft Calamity

In the last couple of weeks we have been learning about Divali and Hanukkah. 

Emma enjoyed making her rangoli pattern very colourful.  Rebecca really liked acting out the story of Rama and Sita in drama. 

Robbie enjoyed making a Jewish candle holder and putting lots of information about Hanukkah on the candles.  Ryan liked reading about the traditions of Hanukkah.

This week we have also been working hard to prepare our enterprise crafts with P5A.  Kai enjoyed working in groups with the other class.  We have produced high quality Christmas decorations.

You can purchase our christmas craft items at the Infant Nativity shows and the carol service at the end of term.  You can also order through family members.  A leaflet will be coming home soon!

Fun Highlights this term!

Hallowe'en smiles all round
This trio terrified me!

Two of our fun highlights this term have been the fabulous but spooky Hallowe’en Discos. P.1 to P.4 enjoyed lots of spooky games including ‘spooky corners’ and knights and castles, while the P.5 – P.7s loved the Zombie Conga and Thriller Medley. The costumes were amazing so well done to all parents for creative thinking! I have only chosen a selection of photos, but others will be used on the big screen as highlights of the term.

Ella and Lucy practise their scary faces!

Another fun highlight was the P.1 / P.7 Pudsey Picnic as part of our Children in Need fundraising day. P.7s loved joining in the games and dancing. They also helped to organise their buddies for the picnic. Spotty costumes were worn by everyone – even the teachers were ‘spotty’. £279 was raised for this worthwhile charity. Thank you to all parents and families who contributed.
