Our first full week as Primary 7a

As primary sevens one of our responsibilities is to help our P1 buddies. At break we have been helping them to get ready for break by putting on their jackets, shoes and getting their snacks. Luke found that his buddy Bartosz was very shy at first but he helped to bring him out his shell and make new friends. Amie-Lee helped her buddy Sophie to be responsible by picking up litter but have fun while doing so. Ethan felt his buddy  was shy at first but by the end of the week they played together and got along well. Molly helped her buddy Ava to make new friends in her class.

In class this week in art we drew our own tennis players and used paint to create a water colour effect. In maths we did place value challenge and code breakers in order to find out the numbers and break the code. In literacy we wrote our new prayer and learned how to use synonyms and in writing we wrote an imaginative diary entry based on our class novel.

Mrs Heather played a name game with us on Wednesday where we had to remember all of the names of people in our class with an adjective in front of it – Nice Nicola, lovely Laura, Incredible Isla…

Over all we had a great full week back!

P5 Presentations

Everyone in Primary 5 has now given a presentation to the class on a topic of their choice. The children selected a diverse range of subjects to share with their friends and we had the opportunity to learn many interesting and amazing new facts.

The children were able to peer assess each other so that everyone has a target to improve their performance for the next presentation.

Well done to everyone and thank you for your hard work.

Action!

In Language and Literacy we have been reading the story “A Tale of Two Robots” by Roy Apps.

We have been creating our own new chapter to the story where the Robots, Robert and Nita, decide they are tired of cleaning and go for a day out. However, they face a few problems. Here are a few examples of the problems they faced:

  • Bowling – Robert fell down the alley and they got thrown out. Saoirse
  • Cinema – Robert’s rusty ,metal made too much noise and they got throw out. Callum
  • Shopping- The metal sets off the metal detectors as their metal bodies. Natasha
  • Swimming – They turned rusty as the children were scared of them. Charlee-Marie
  • Beach – Robert and Nita got stuck in the sand and they couldn’t move. Sophie R
  • Zoo – Robert started cleaning up and the zoo keepers were not happy. Brandon

After writing our new chapter we acted it out in a  group. Look at some pictures of us in action.
