This week in P7 we have come to the end of our current maths topic – negative numbers. Children were excellent at reading thermometers and were able to confidently apply the rules involved in adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers. Next week we will be starting our new maths topic – fractions, decimals and percentages. Here is a video which you can watch to refresh your memory! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr52yfR3wGA
In PE our focus has moved from gymnastics to volleyball for the next few weeks. We have been learning the key skills in making an accurate pass focusing on body position, fingers and wrists, and have been getting used to passing over the net with a partner or group.
This week and next week we are doing our termly literacy assessments. Children performed excellently in the single word spelling test on Thursday with every child making an improvement on last terms results. Well done everyone! Next week we will be doing our writing assessment which is a functional piece. We will be writing a newspaper report relating to our topic, Democracy. Have a look at the website below which suggests the key aspects of a newspaper report in preparation for next week’s assessment!
