This week in P7/6 we have been ….

Literacy

• learning about similes and creating our own similes
• writing our own imaginary simile poem about ‘My Monster’!

Numeracy

• consolidating our learning of addition and subtraction
• completed our end of topic assessments

IDL:Rainforests

The children have been presenting their end of topic presentations, and I have to say that from what I have seen so far I am extremely impressed with the knowledge, effort, creativity and overall presenting skills!  Hopefully, the remaining six presentations will be presented tomorrow morning after assembly.  The winner(s) of the challenge will then be announced!

Our Rain Forests in a jar are going well ….Some are already showing signs of new growth, roots forming!

 

Music

We have completed the sessions with Mrs Stewart.  These will re-commence after the Easter break.  Music will continue between times within our classroom.

CAB

• finalised the lyrics for our verse of the song for the CAB Conference
• had our final session with the CAB peer tutors – they were extremely impressed with how we engaged with the sessions, how open we were with our concerns about the community and the ideas we came up with to improve the community

HWB

• we completed our Heart Start lessons
• I am extremely happy with how much knowledge and practical skills our class have remembered.   I’d feel in safe hands should anything happen to me in class! 🙂

The maturity shown by all in ‘awkward and embarrassing’ contexts was most impressive! A huge well done to everyone!

P7 News!

•  Heart Start: CPR.  Mrs Bowman was overwhelmed by the way you engaged with this session.  This is an important life skill and every one of you did yourselves proud!
• Math/Numeracy Assessment – as part of the transition process Bathgate Academy requested that all P7s within their cluster primaries complete a standard assessment.  Everyone of you gave 100% in this task!  As a teacher, I can not ask for more than that! Well done!

A few dates for your diary:

• Friday 19th February               Open morning: Mild, Spicy, Hot!
• Friday 26th February               P7 Transition Projects Due (Science)
• Thursday 17th March               Parental/Carer Consultations

Looking forward to all the exciting learning opportunities and experiences that next term will bring!
