Dear Parents, here’s what’s been going on in P7B this week.

In maths, we have been continuing our work on subtraction but are now ready to move onto multiplication after the holidays – some times tables at home will help us be prepared for this.  We continue to enjoy the Real Life Problem Solving App – ask us about this week’s profit calculating activity. And we revisted tellling the time using analogue clock faces – it was pretty tough for some of us.

In literacy we wrote some excellent pieces of Personal Writing and it was good to think back to different times in our lives.

In HWB we have been using God’ Loving Plan to learn about changes that we experience when we grow up and having a chat with us about this will help us feel more confident.

We built dens outside in the woodlands using tarps, poles, rope and things we could find around the woods. It w.as a lot of fun and we all took different approaches to building.

Here is an update from this week’s Lead Learners:

This week P7B has been doing lots of subtraction with large numbers in maths, in topic we were finishing pictures made of different materials for our rainforest display. In PE we have also doing some orienteering with Mrs Lafferty. Plus making fun dens in outdoor learning on Thursday.

In spelling we have been working on different fun spelling cards with challenges like pyramid writing, bubble writing and more. Also in RE we have been reading some verses out of the bible and discussing what’s happening in them, and we having been reading more of our class novel ‘The Explorer’.

Enjoy the October break,
