P7 had a very busy week and are looking forward to a rest before we head to camp on Monday.
On Monday we had the first of 3 sessions on drug education with a focus on smoking. The children have all brought home a smoke free home pledge and were asked to try to give something up for a week to see how it may feel to have to give up something .
In Numeracy we focused on volume and capapcity this week. Our main aims were conversions from ml and litres, estimating, measuring and calculating volume of a solid using the formula volume=length x breadth x height. The children enjoyed making mocktails where they had to use exact measurements.
In Social studies we looked at what a city needs and then did research and presentations on whether Glasgow and Edinburgh meet the needs of their citizens, and how they do this.
In literacy we finished reading “The boy in the striped pyjamas” which was very emotional, Mrs Gordon did cry at the end as she thought she might. We will watch the film when we return from camp, and do a comparison of the 2.
In French this week we visited our nursery to teach a little bit of french to some of the children. I think they enjoyed our visit !
Have a lovely weekend and see you when we are back from camp.
Mrs Gordon and P7a
