This week in P7 we have been creating our new class charter. Each term we review our charter and remind ourselves of the rules which we should abide by in our school. This term we have chosen the theme ‘video games’. Each child in the class has selected a video game or app to represent them on our charter wall.
In maths we have been learning about units of measure. We did a fun carousel based on estimating then checking for accuracy where we used real life concepts. We learned about postage costs based on weight and what product information is included on food and drinks packaging.
On Wednesday we had some visitors in to talk to us about how negative it can be do prejudge others before we really know them. The activity was called ‘Unique Potato’ and the man began by telling us how all potatoes look the same but up close they have many differences. We then made our potatoes in to characters by giving them names, life stories and drawing on them! This was a valuable lesson in preparation for going to high school as it will be very important for us to try to get to know lots of new people.
Finally, on Thursday we had our first Term 4 Ninian’s Natter. The children had a chance to discuss their learning and set new goals. Ask your child about theirs!
Have a great weekend!
I am delighted to see P7, our senior students, leading the way in behaviour. You are good role models for all of the younger children.
I am glad that ‘Unique Potato’ was interesting for you. It is easy to judge others without really taking time to get to know them. I hope that you remember this lesson as you move on to pastures new!
