Welcome to P7B!

A great week of learning P7B this week! During our reflection we told Mr Pentland our highlights:

Hesham and Szymon loved numeracy this week, looking at number and place value! We explored different ways of thinking when it comes to subtraction, doing our calculations from left to right! We did great! We have also been doing great work on estimating and rounding and looking at inverse operations to estimate and check solutions.

Vivaan and Sara loved science with Mrs Miller, learning all about Micro Organisms! We started a germ experiment with bread and we are excited to keep an eye on this next week and fill in our record sheet!

Rory and Vihaan enjoyed learning about Scotland this week! We learned some fun facts about Scotland and drew our own fantastic maps (we did not include all 790 islands – although we were keen to try!). We will be looking at Scotland for our topic and the influence of the past on the present and future! We were also excited to start our novel ‘The Desperate Journey’ – we are looking forward to reading on with this.

We were lucky to have Father Simon visit our class this week during RE. We had great conversations with him! He was very impressed with our job advertisements for Alter Servers; we had to read fact files and highlight important information to create informative, persuasive advertisements! Well done P7B!

Lucas and Kuba enjoyed learning more about the Global Goals this week, especially as we count down to COP26 and build our interactive classroom displays.

Alex and Lewis enjoyed continuing work on narrative during literacy, reviewing the structure and language features and applying it to our own writing. Our classroom went into ‘red alert’ (not to worry, it was just a drill) and the children came up with great narratives to what this could have been! We are looking forward to building on this next week.

We continued our amazing metacognition work this week – thinking about our thinking. We looked at our ‘HOTs’ and created amazing thinking hats with questions to support our learning across the curriculum!

We are excited to start our new daily themes next week:

• Motivation Monday
• Teamwork Tuesday
• Wellbeing Wednesday
• Technology Thursday
• Friday For Future

 

Thank you all for another great week! I hope you all have an amazing long weekend and get some rest! I can’t wait to see you all on Wednesday (Wellbeing Wednesday)!
