In our context for learning ‘Our Dynamic Earth’ we have been learning about climate change. We have learned that pollution is damaging the Earth. This week the focus was on the ecosystem ‘The Rainforest’. We discovered that it rains a lot in a tropical forest, that is very humid and about the different layers of the forest. We also did some mapping skills and located the rainforests on a world map. We were set an art task which was to create a collage of what the rainforest looks like. Mrs Weir is impressed with our art and we are going to display this in the class.

In our number work we have been focusing on multiplication. We started the week by focusing on the different words which mean the same as multiplication. We have had lots of practice at written multiplication sums which used all of our tables knowledge. Some of us still need to practice our times tables. Some of us discovered that if we could multiply a 2, 3 or 4 digit number by a single digit then we could multiply numbers with 8 digits.

We were treated to a musical performance by ‘Travelling with Tuba’ which let us see lots of different instruments from around the world and how they are played.

Primary 7s enjoyed their trip to the Risk Factory where they learned how to deal with emergency situations.

In P.E. we have continued to work on our own fitness by participating in fitness circuits and races. Hopefully, this will increase our stamina. Please remember to bring outdoor P.E. kit and appropriate shoes for P.E. days.

Next week we are looking forward to Maths Week where we will have a lot of Maths linked activities. Meet The Teacher is also on Thursday afternoon where we look forward to seeing lots of our parents.
