LVPS Window into Learning – Term 1

This week has been our first full week in Primary 7, and we’ve been really busy adapting to our new routines.

Highlights

Anna – This week I have enjoyed creating an advert for Camp Green Lake as part of our Class Novel Study. We are reading Holes. We had to use our skills in communication, ICT, editing and teamwork to create our finished product. We used iPads and iMovie to help us and then shared via a QR Code on our classroom wall. I also enjoyed spending time with my Buddy and completing a Scavenger Hunt with them.

Leo – I enjoyed PE this week as we have been doing Basketball. I liked the skills challenges and the teamwork during game play. I also had fun doing the Scavenger Hunt with my Buddy as it is a great responsibility to support our Primary 1 friends.

This week have had French and Spanish which we really enjoyed. In Spanish we learned about colours and got to ask each other what colour was our favourite.

We have also been continuing to work on our Author’s Journey story writing. Mr Stephenson from ICHS came to listen to our Authors Chair and he gave us feedback. It was really good to get feedback from him as he is an author too as well as a teacher!

This week has also been Children’s Mental Health Week so we watched the Place2Be Assembly and then spoke about connecting with others and cheering them on. We wrote on pieces of paper on each other’s backs about what we really liked about them. It was nice to see so many nice things written about me.

Maths was looking at symmetry and also problems solving. Its fun trying to do problem solving as Mrs Taylor was giving us House Points for finding lots of ways to find the same answer.

This week it was P6 who did assembly. They spoke about Mental Health and how to stay connected and remember to speak to Trusted Adults.

Miss Quinn came to visit from ICHS to talk about High School. She asked us to write about the things we liked and gave us a chocolate too. We got to ask lots of questions about what High School might be like.

It’s been another busy week in P7!

This week we have been learning:

Algebra, we started working on it on Monday and some of it can be easy but some bits of it can be a bit challenging.

Spanish, we had our first Spanish session on Monday with Mrs Gordon and Miss Martinez. We enjoyed learning new words.

Gymnastics, we have been working on Gymnastics routines the past few sessions and performed them on Wednesday in front of the class in groups and we enjoyed giving feedback to each other.

Science, we had science with Mr Keast and we were learning about the Chinese New Year on Wednesday.

French, Madame Moore came in on Thursday morning and we learnt some the words for vegetables in French. We found it fun to play the games too. We have learned 41 new words over the last 3 weeks!

Writing, we have been working on an ‘Author’s Journey’ writing piece, about someone famous or someone in the past which was fun to write about. Next we need to edit and revise our writing further to make sure we are creating a great final piece of writing for our book.

Scottish Loves Languages, for this event we have been challenged to do several different things to earn points and we have done some drawing of the Eiffel tower, we listened to The Gruffalo in Spanish and sang a French song.

We have really enjoyed this week with Mrs Taylor and other teachers, and we are looking forward for the week ahead.

Math – this week for maths we were doing loads of things like rounding and we were rounding 5 digit numbers. Then we did subtraction and addition just to revise it and Mrs T gave us a challenge to think of every method for subtraction and addition. We did mental math as well and we had to multiply 2 digit multiply 3 digit numbers and then do it in our head. It was probably the hardest math so far this week, we also did a wee bit of Sumdog too.

Literacy-for literacy this week we continued reading, Holes our new book we are reading as a class and we had some activities. We had to choose a character and it use a Role On The Wall template to write describing words about them, then find a quote in the book that represented the adjective. It was hard but I found it really fun. We started doing comprehension again and this week it was about Asterix. At first we didn’t know what Asterix was so Mrs T showed us a video about it and we found it really funny.

ICT – We used Monday as a project day to write and redraft our Buddy Letters. We wanted to check in on them and make sure they were settling into Primary 1. We then learned how to create a Sway, and were given the challenge of creating Sways all about us. Once we did that we then learned how to turn the Sway into a QR Code. Mrs T then printed them off and we glued them to our letters. Finally we decorated the envelopes and delivered them to their teachers. We really enjoyed this activity as there was so much learning.

Across the Curriculum- we have started a topic about John Muir and we watched a couple of videos and then search up all about him. I find him really interesting and we are very excited to find more about him. Science this week was about man made rocks and natural rocks.

Our PE days will be Monday and Wednesday.

As  PE is outdoors at the moment, all children are asked to wear their outdoor kits to school on these days.

Outdoor PE kits should consist of joggers/tracksuit bottoms/leggings and school polo/white top. Please also send children with a jumper/jacket that they can wear outside if necessary. Children should wear outdoor shoes ( trainers) suitable for PE on these days.

Due to current circumstances children are unable to use school water fountains, so we ask that they bring extra water with them on these days.

Many Thanks

Miss Greig
