This week has been another busy week, especially within our maths and IDL topic – Make Your £5 Grow. Read on for more information!
Freya, Dallas, Charlie and Avelon – In our Grow your £5 topic we did a group project which was about bringing together some of the skills which we’ve learned so far including researching, teamwork, budgeting and calculating discounts and sales in the form of percentages. Our task was to book a trip to New York with a budget of £2000 each so £12000 for our group. From that money we had to search for and select the best flights, hotels and activities and the money which we had leftover could be used as spending money for food, transport and even shopping! When we presented our plans to the class we found that Group 1 got the cheapest deal and luckily everyone managed to stay within budget!
Charlie, Eve McC, Eve Mac and Joshua- This week we also did lots of fun RE because it was the first Sunday in Advent. We even have a class Christmas tree and Advent calendar!!! We learned about Jesus performing miracles in his role known as ‘teacher and healer’. We also learned about St. Andrew as it was the Feast Day of St. Andrew on Wednesday.
Avelon, Nikki, Aimee and Freya – Since we are now on the countdown to Christmas we have been doing some Christmas related art activities including making Christmas tree ornaments with Miss Ford and making crackers with Mrs Currie during our upper area carousel afternoon. We have also made lovely posters to hold up when we sing the Christmas alphabet at the Christmas singalong and we even learned 2 new Scottish dances for our Christmas party. We are so excited for all the fun things coming up in the next couple of weeks!
Eve Mac and Avelon – Today we have our Festive Family Fun Afternoon in school from 1-3pm. We hope you can make it along to help raise money for our school. There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs and please make sure you check out the brilliant posters we made to advertise the raffle stall.
Have a great weekend!
It was a pleasure to visit P7 this week and share in the learning experience with you. I was so impressed by your love of learning and the way in which you supported and challenged each other within the group task. These are mature skills and attitudes to learning – well done. I’m not sure the trip to New York will be happening mind you 😉
know that we can continue to count on you all to set an excellent example for the rest of the school so that we can all enjoy the countdown to Christmas!
