Primary 7 Weekly News

This week in primary 7 we have been doing reading and maths for our smart starts.

The book we have been reading as a class is called Wonder. The reason we are reading Wonder is because we are focusing on kindness. In wonder the main character is August and he has a deformed face. We have made our own portraits of ourselves in the form of August’s picture on the front cover so that we realise that you shouldn’t make fun of people or judge people even if they look different. We included words to describe ourselves around our portraits which will be used for a wall display next week.

This week we have also been focusing on counting above millions. We have been revising place value and using this to help us with numbers beyond 1 million. We went outside for maths to revise our knowledge of angles and took pictures of angles outside.

In PE we have started Rugby with Mr McCurdy and Miss McCormack did a bootcamp session working on our stamina.
