In P7/6 we have made the most of the recent good weather and took a few of our lessons outside!
Math/Numeracy
- We have moved onto our new topic of measurement
- We used our playground environment to test our ability to accurately estimate larger items/areas. This activity showed this is an area we need to work on – lets hope the sunshine comes back!
- We have also been working on volume and capacity using ml/cl/l
HWB
Last week we began our new IDL topic on the human body. We have been learning about a variety of internal organs of the human body and their purpose within the different internal systems. We consolidated our learning of organs by going outside and tracing around each other and showing the location of the main organs. This week we moved onto the Digestive System.
Literacy
This week we have been focusing on the grammar rules around speech marks. The children are being encouraged to increase the variety of punctuation they use in all their written work. Functional writing task this week was to describe the internal workings of the Digestive System.
RME
The class have been learning about Buddhism.
Transition: P6
Our P6s have been spending time getting to know their buddies that are coming up to P1 in August. Miss Moir and I are working on a P6 to P7 transition timetable for 7-10th June.
Transition: P7
Our P7s are getting very excited about their forthcoming move onto S1. Yesterday the Welcome Packs were shared with the children. They were all desperate to find out what class they will be in, what ‘new’ subjects are Abby R looking to know what Humanities is … whilst Emma P was unable to control her excitement that Roast Beef is on the menu! 🙂 🙂
** Please note, on the bus timetable it states that the bus leaves Bathgate Road at 8.05 – the bus actually leaves earlier than this. I have advised that the children make their way to the bus stop by 7.50am in order to ensure they do not miss it **
Blackburn’s Got Talent 2016!
The school finals will be taking place next Friday, with the upper school semis taking place next Thursday. With this in mind, our class auditions will take place on Wednesday after lunch! Anyone wishing to share their talent … GET PRACTICING! 🙂 🙂
Wishing you all a fantastic long weekend!
Miss Preston and Miss Akram
Keep up the good work P7/6, you’ve got loads going on!
Now that you’re getting familiar with the workings of the digestive system, I bet you’d be able to combine a bit of French with your Science. Scroll down to the body illustration and see if you can understand the French labelling on this site for French learners: http://www.maxicours.com/soutien-scolaire/sciences/cm2/186327.html
Bonne chance!
