On Thursday, 7th May eTwinning celebrated its tenth anniversary. As the children were off because of the General Election, we celebrated on Friday instead. P7 have two eTwinning projects, one with a school in the Basque Country, Spain and one in France. British Council gave a t-shirt and furry logo to all the pupils involved in a project in 2015.
At the assembly on Friday we also were awarded the Goblet of Good Manners. Go P7!
Congratulations to all those pupils who received an Achievement Award for Term 3.
LI. I am learning to create, adapt and sustain different roles, experimenting with movement, expression.
I am learning to use the experience of drama by discussing my thoughts and feelings. I can give and accept constructive comment on my own and others’ work.
SC: We can take on a variety of roles and experiment with movement and voice. EXA 2-12a
This week the p6 and p7s have been rehearsing the upcoming play, The Pirates Of The Curry Bean. We have all been rehersng our lines at home and in school, because we are all commited to performing a play that’s worth watching. Some of us have even began singing our solos in front of everyone and we are all very committed to our roles. We only have a few more weeks before we perform it in front of the parents and we are certainly making progress. Once we finish rehearsals and perform the real thing we are sure that the audience will leave with a smile on their faces.

SC: We are learning to investigate angles, and to discuss, describe and classify angles using appropriate mathematical vocabulary.
MTH 2-17a
S.C. I can recognise acute, obtuse, right and reflex angles.
This week in Maths we started to learn about angles. There were four angles we learned about. They were right angles, obtuse, acute and reflex. We had to figure out the angle of a shape using a piece of paper. Some people found it a bit hard, but it was quite fun. The teacher put examples on the board to help us and of course it really did help. I hope we will do more work on angles so some people will get what we’ve got to do and the whole class can enjoy maths.
LI: By considering the type of text I am creating, I am learning to select ideas and relevant information, organise these in an appropriate way for my purpose and use suitable vocabulary for my audience.
LIT 2-26a
SC: I can use features specific to a personal profile.
This week in Writing we wrote a Personal Profile for when the P7’s leave primary school. A personal profile is when you write down your interests, what you’re good at and how you feel about different subjects. The subjects we used this week were About me, Literacy (reading and writing) and Health and Wellbeing (e.g Healthy Family, Healthy Children). The skills we used were thinking, writing, vocabulary and spelling. The rest of our Personal Profile’s will get written next week and we will also start typing them up on the netbooks to send to our chosen high schools.
In Science this week we dicovered what our new topic is for science. It is the solar system! We had a little quiz to test our knowledge on the Solar System, without us learning anything first. I can’t wait for our topic to expand and to learn more about our very own solar system because it is so facinating.

Learning Intention:
We are learning to explore how right angles can be measured in degrees and how this links to fractions and compass points (MTH 2-17c, MTH 2-17a)
Success Criteria:
This week in P7/6’s class maths, we started a new unit of work looking at different angles and linking this to our learning about fractions and compass points from last term. We started by creating a list of key words that link to directions and angles including: North, South, East, West, right, left, forwards, backwards, 90 degrees, clockwise, anticlockwise and diagonal. We all had to put our arms out in front of us and show a 90 degree turn, followed by 180 degrees, then 270 degrees then finally a 360 degree turn. We also looked at what these would look like when drawn on the board and realised that these turns were also linked to fractions, e.g. 90 degrees is a quarter turn. Next, we were given the challenge to direct Miss Sherlow to one of the chairs in the classroom using some of our new vocabulary, but Dylan made her go a bit too far and she bumped into it! We then had to try to direct Jack into the corridor but we overestimated how far he needed to move and Glen M accidentally made him walk all the way into Mrs Gordon’s classroom. However, we learned from our mistakes and eventually managed to get each person where they needed to be. We used language like ’10 paces forward’ and ‘turn 180 degrees clockwise’ to help us.
We then split into groups and rotated around 3 activities:
There was a lot of laughing in our classroom during our maths lesson this week, but we definitely all learned something new about angles, compass points, fractions and directions.
“I especially enjoyed Miss Sherlow walking into the chair and table. It was hilarious. I also learned that a 270 degree turn is the same as a 3 quarters turn,” commented Kieran.
“Jack walked into Mrs Gordon’s classroom and it was funny. It took us a while, but we got there in the end” said Dylan.
“It was fabulous learning about angles and directions,” added Max.
