Let’s talk money… and more in Primary 7

Leave a comment

This week we’re supporting Talk Money Week, which aims to break the stigma of talking about money and get us all sharing more about this important topic, whether that’s with friends, family or anyone else! In Maths we were tasked with planning a festive party. We all had different budgets and different guest lists to consider. We had to use Aldi and Argos’s websites to buy supplies. We had to consider budget, venue, guest list, food, decoration and entertainment. We then applied our talking and listening skills as we presented our Canva presentations of our budget friendly parties to the class and discussed if we think having a large budget was the most important factor in having a good time. Ask us our thoughts on this.

 

This week we invited our Primary 1 buddies to our classroom to help them log on to devices and play some online maths games with them. We love having extra responsibility with our buddies and enjoy teaching them new things. We hope they can come back soon.

 

Keep up the great work Primary 7 and we will have another fantastic week next week!

We have made a great start in our new topic of World War 1, learning what sparked the beginning of the first world war. Ask us what happened in Sarajevo to ignite the chain of events that led to war in early August 1914? We will use our knowledge from this week to create a newspaper article explaining the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Watch this space for updates next week.

We have created some spooky sunset silhouette artwork this week with a focus on our blending skills with paint. We have updated our wall display in class with these amazing pieces.

Over all we have had a fantastically positive week this week with lots of hard work, kind actions, positive attitudes, exceptions engagement, great participating happening in the classroom. This is shown in our WOW board where a pupil who has went above and beyond is recognised and selects a WOW board square for the chance to win a special prize.

Keep up the good work Primary 7. Your teacher is very proud of all of you!

A Happy Halloween From Primary 7

Leave a comment

Halloween preparations began last week where primary 7 created their own Halloween art and even made their own Halloween raps to music.

On Friday we celebrated Halloween with pupils attending a Halloween party showcasing their costumes. It was a fun filled day consisting of dancing, party games, Halloween jokes, snacks and lots of laughs. The Halloween costumes were of a high standard and primary 7 enjoyed strutting their stuff at the party.  

It has been a busy time lately in primary 7 with lots going on. We are continuing our new writing topic of Information Reporting where we are looking at non-fiction texts, analysing information, conducting research and making sure we have the correct structure and layout to create our own information report.

In numeracy we have been completing our Maths assessment under exam conditions.

We are starting our new topic of World War 1 and look forward to learning more about this.  

Last week we started a project with 5 sisters zoo and had a representative from the zoo who will be leading the project visit us to introduce this. This will see us creating posters and sending letters to a school we have partnered with in Ghana for the project.

 

We now have our newly elected House Captains and Prefects who has taken on extra responsibility around the School. A huge well done who everyone who participated for their hard work and especially to everyone who was successful in achieving a role.
