My Week in P7

Maths

This week in maths I have been learning about different types of charts. I think I could learn a bit more about them though. I learned about pie charts and graphs and how to solve problems to do with graphs.

Literacy

This week in literacy we were looking at autobiography and biography texts. We looked at parts of Roald Dahl’s life story from his autobiography ‘Boy’ . To finish the topic off we wrote our very own autobiography about our experiences at the St. Joseph’s Christmas show this year called Cinderella, Rockerfella.

The show

Another thing that we did this week was performed our Christmas show Cinderella, Rockerfella. It was a huge success and all the rehearsals paid off. I was part of the talent act and I played violin.

It has been a great week!

Oh Help, oh no, it’s a Gruffalo!!!

The children in primary 1 have enjoyed reading Julia Donaldson stories this term and making a fantastic Gruffalo display. Through these stories the children have learned about the pattern and rhyme of stories and how to develop a character. The children made up a new character for the book Room on the Broom. We learned about the role of an illustrator and an author and developed our love of reading by setting up a quiet reading tent in our classroom which the children named ‘the Julia Donaldson tent’!!! The children enjoyed making (and tasting) Gruffalo Crumble (apple crumble) and then we made our own recipe book using functional writing and sequencing skills.

Christmas

A massive well done to all of the Primary 1-3 pupils who performed in our Nativity play ‘Mend the Manger’.

We are lucky to have such talented little superstars in our school.

The Magic Castle

Primary 6W have worked very hard on their homework projects creating different types of castles. They also made up fact files and power points about Concentric, Stone Keep and Motte and Bailey Castles. They then presented them to the rest of the class.

We can’t wait to start the Magic Castle topic in January!

Christmas

The costumes are ready, the stage is set………could this be the best Nativity play yet?

The children in Primary 1, 1/2, 2 and 3 have been working so hard to produce this year’s Nativity Play, ‘Mend the Manger’.

We are so proud of all our little ‘shining stars’ in St Joseph’s Primary!

Cinderella Rockerfella

We are enjoying practising for our panto. We know you will all be completely blown away with the standard of acting, singing and dancing. We are a very talented school.
