Primary 7 Learning

In Maths we have been learning to use our tables to help solve a variety of different problems.  During Maths week we started problem solving using different strategies and we are continuing some problem solving every week.  We are currently using fractions in problems.  We found the fraction problems a challenge so we are practising simplifying fractions and equivalent fractions.

In Writing we have been learning how to write a diary entry and have linked this to our topic about WW2.  We are writing a diary entry for a child who was evacuated during the war.  We looked at common features of diary entries and used these as our success criteria.  Hopefully you will enjoy reading them at parents night.

Fun Time Friday

Today we had our first Fun Time Friday of the school year. Fun Time Friday is an opportunity for all our children to select an activity that they are interested in and take part in it with peers across different classes. We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.

Library Club – 20/09/18

Last week at Library Club we thought about  sharing. Moira read The Smartest Giant in Town written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The giant showed us how happy it made him feel when he could share and help.

We then helped each to make friendship bracelets.  Have a look at our 25 children and families working together and sharing skills.
