It was lovely to catch up with everyone and chat about our Easter holidays. The children settled in quickly and we discussed the busy last term that lay ahead.
In numeracy we did a self assessment and a second level assessment to allow us to see what areas we still needed to work on. This will help Mrs Gordon plan for this term.
In literacy we wrote Easter holiday diary entries focusing on making our writing more engaging for the reader.
We learnt about WWII in French by using “true/false” “vrai/faux” sentences about Axis and Ally leaders. The children also had to translate sentences into English, and surprised themselves that by using prior knowledge, context and familiar words they could do this.
On Thursday afternoon Louisa Burgess and Hector Woodhouse came to judge the buggies the children had designed and made as part of their technologies/STEM focus last term. We had a few last minute hiccups as the children had to make alterations to some of the buggies. Here are a few photos of some of the groups.
A huge thank you to Mrs Tulloch who was responsible for all the teaching and learning behind this project. It really is a fabulous opportunity for the children to learn all these techniques within primary school. It also taught a valuable lesson in growth mindset, as the children had to keep focused and fix issues when they came up.
Mrs Gordon and P7a
