This week in P7 has been shorter than normal but still very busy!
In maths we have been focusing on number sets and learning about prime numbers, multiples and factors. Ask your child for a definition of each to see what they’ve learned!
In art we studied and created optical illusions. We began by looking at a science book which displayed some really amazing examples of how your brain can be tricked. We also looked at an image which is currently circling online of what initially appears to be a simple brick wall. If you haven’t already seen this please google ‘brick wall optical illusion’ and let us know how you get on!
In literacy we have been working on the format and layout of a formal letter as we completed our final writing assessment of P7. We wrote a letter to our local MSP, Angela Constance, proposing the idea of all schools in the area having a health week. All children engaged very well with this task and really focused on up-levelling their writing by using the marking criteria as a checklist and ensuring they had included everything.
We finished off the week by attending the P1R and Achievements Assembly. We always have lots of achievements to celebrate at St. Ninian’s and we felt proud of everyone who was there today! Keep up the good work!
Have a lovely weekend … CAMP ON MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I didn’t do very well with the optical illusion you suggested we look at. Couldn’t see anything other than pebbles, got very frustrated and then googled the answer. Guess who needs to work on her perseverance?!! Very interesting though.
Delighted to hear last week’s Health Week inspired you so much to write to our MSP about it.
Hope everyone sleeps well before the adventure of school camp on Monday!
