It’s been a technology filled week in Primary 7a!  The children have been focusing on improving their digital skills and our visitor Miss Gibson, very kindly worked with them on how to use One Note, which will be particularly helpful when they go to high school.  The children also had the opportunity to carry out some coding.  They thoroughly enjoyed it and we hope to build on these skills in the coming weeks.

Literacy

We completed our writing for the nature writing competition this week.  Mrs Craig has sent of our entries, so keep your fingers and toes crossed that we might have a winner from the class!  Although, all of the children worked so hard and produced such wonderful work, that they are all winners in our eyes.

Maths

We continued to work on perimeter and area, investigating the relationship between the two and finding the area and perimeter of compound shapes.  We also continued our work on multiplying and dividing decimals.

Here are a few pictures of us drawing and measuring compound shapes in the playground.

Topic

The children’s  Japan personal projects are progressing well and we look forward to hearing their presentations in the coming weeks.  They also spent some time comparing Japan and the UK, with a particular focus on cleanliness.

Lead Learners and Writers of the Week

We all could not believe it when our lead learners and our writers of the week were the same two people – Luke L and Dawid.  Both boys produced excellent pieces of writing and have worked hard to improve their writing skills.  They have also been doing a fantastic job of leading the class in their learning and helping them to meet the targets set.  We are only 6 marbles away from receiving our class reward so keep it up P7A!

Daily Mile

We continue to add up the miles for Father Simon’s challenge.  The children are really challenging themselves to improve and to beat their own record.

We hope you all have a happy and restful weekend and we look forward to seeing you all next week.
