Primary 7/6 blog post

Welcome back everyone.  It has been such a quick week but we have achieved a lot.  Here is our new class.

Our Primary Sixes look very smart in their green and yellow school uniform and our senior Primary Sevens look very grown up in their black and yellow uniform.

Our focus in class for the next three weeks will be based on a novel called The Squint by Lesley Howarth.  We have read the first four chapters so far and found out that this story takes place in the modern era as well as the medieval period of history.  The main character Ben looks though a squint (spyhole) whilst visiting a historical house and finds himself part of one of his ancient ancestors lives story!  As a link from this novel we have been learning about medieval coats of arms. In pairs the children were given the opportunity to use a website to create their own.  Here is the link we used,

Our class will have PE on a Tuesday and Thursday in school.  On Tuesday’s Mr McCurdy has requested that the children bring in outdoor PE kit suitable for all weathers (within reason!).  The children were given a choice between rugby or hockey as their chosen PE lesson on a Tuesday.  On Thursday PE will be in the school gym hall.

For maths we have focused on place value, numbers up to millions.  We have practised reading them, writing them in digits and words.  For extra practise you can try this game.

Have a lovely weekend and I am really looking forward to next week and getting on with all the great activities and events that are planned.

Well done everyone,

Mrs Currie
