What a quick week it’s been on Primary 7, although time does fly when you’re having fun…

This week in maths we have been consolidating our learning topic of multiplying a 3, 4 and even 5 digit number by a 2 digit number. We have been working well through our Math No Problem books and are looking forward to moving onto division next week.

In literacy, we have been gathering evidence to include in our own information report about animals, endangered, living or extinct which ties in nicely with our topic which we have partnered with 5 Sister Zoo where we are discussing various animals.

This week is anti-bullying week which made for some interesting discussions around relationships and safety. We looked at some agree or disagree situations where we were able to discuss our emotions and regulation strategies.

For world book day we created our favourite book characters on wooden spoons. Take a look at our work.

What a great week for Primary 7. It is a pleasure to teach everyone in this class. Keep up the good work.

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!
