It has been a packed week.
PE – Freya said “this has been a highlight of the week”. Mr McCurdy worked with our class on cartwheels on Tuesday and we were head over heels pleased with the progress we made. On Thursday when it was our class teacher PE time we worked on different balances. Photos will be added next week (the i-pad has decided to go on weekend mode early – sorry!)
Maths – Sophia said “we learned about algebra this week”. Some of the children have continued their work on function machines and others have started to work with equations where a letter represents a missing number. We have also been working on our skills at telling the time using 12 hour and 24 hour clocks. Here is a website for some extra practise with this skill.

Literacy – We have focused on our grammar skills this week and linked this to our reading work as we have started using Task Maps again. In our writing this week we had to finish a story which had already been started. Jessica said “we had to think of an unpredictable way to end the story!” The story was called Tom’s Terror and in the starter it explains that Tom sees a shadow in an old deserted school building and decides to investigate! We discussed the obvious answers such as Zombies or ghost etc but decided to create a much more unique take on the story. There were some great ideas…Jack – It was his surprise birthday party, Oskar and Kornelia – It was a former pupil looking for something he had hidden many years before and Reece – it was the former janitor who wanted to reopen the school. Great work P7/6
IDL – We learned about Malawi this week and Mrs Currie even tweeted (her first ever tweet!). This was a link with the International Week theme in the whole school. check out our tweet to see a photo of our class display we made!
Can’t wait until you see our new INCREDIBLE maths wall next week, something worth logging on for!
