It was lovely to see everyone back to start the final term in P7 and what a busy term it is going to be!

This week in maths we started looking at Data Handling.  We discussed the different types of graph and charts we knew and interpreted data from a variety of graphs and charts.  We will continue to practice this skill and we will then use our skills to create and display our own data that we have collected.

In literacy we have been focusing on Cloze procedure and our understanding of texts.  Some of us found this really tricky and we will learn strategies to help us get better at this skill.

As part of a mini context for learning we have been learning about the main religions of the world.  We were very surprised with which religions were the most followed.  So far we have compared the creation stories and beliefs of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.  We have looked more in depth at Islam and Hinduism this week and have found some similarities and differences between them.  Learning about different world religions will help us understand others beliefs and views of the world.

In P.E. we continued to try out our gymnastics skills using all the large equipment.  Everyone really enjoyed showing off what they have been learning and demonstrated confidence in their abilities.

To end our week we spent time with our buddies, helping them redraft their writing, reading and playing with them.  We always look forward to spending time with our buddies and some us us chose to spend break time playing with them too.

Miss Sutherland is super excited for next week and I know P7 are even more excited.  I hope everyone gets plenty rest for the busy week ahead and hope everyone has a great time whether they are at Kingswood or taking part in all the cluster activities in and around Broxburn.
