In Literacy we learned how to spell words with consonant blends. In writing we wrote descriptions of Mr. Grinling, the lighthouse keeper from the story ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. We also completed a sequencing activity re-telling the story. The children enjoyed writing comic strips about ‘Oor Wullie’ and these will now be stuck on our life size ‘Oor Wullie’, which will be part of the bucket trail this summer! The children also enjoyed having ERIC time outside in the school garden.

In Maths we have been learning to round numbers to the nearest ten and developing our knowledge of multiplication. The children have also been learning about symmetry and had fun creating colourful symmetrical butterflies.

In Science we began learning about mini beasts. As part of our outdoor learning this term, the children will be venturing outside to take part in a special mini beast hunt!

In PE we played a fun team game and also practised our tennis skills.

Have a lovely holiday weekend!

A very busy term ahead for P7. Lots still to learn, as well as preparing for going to high school.

P7 Window into Learning

Please have a look at our Window into Learning to see what our focus will be in term 4. It’s going to be a busy term!

Window into Learning, term 4

It’s been a few weeks since P7 have posted on the blog. We have been so busy – before Easter it was doing the show Rock Bottom. What a triumph the performances were. I’m still singing the songs. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I’m very proud of the whole class.

This week we have been so busy preparing and presenting our assembly on ‘What’s the point of sport?’ This was a great success and it was completely designed by the pupils. My only job was to merge all their powerpoint slides into one. Not only was the content inspiring, but the confidence in the children as they were speaking was impressive, and all of them said a lot more than they would have done at the start of the year. Well done!

We have been looking at photos from Belmont camp and we are really excited to be going there in a few weeks time. We made a lot of friends from the cluster at the rugby festival last week, and we can’t wait to meet them again at Belmont.
