A busy week in P7!
We have been enjoying learning about measure in maths – some of the work we have been doing is to estimate, then measure to see how accurate our estimation is. At home can you play a game that involves estimating length the measuring? Or maybe you have some tips of your own for estimation that you could share?
In writing we have been learning about Narrative as a genre – we looked at a narrative called The Swooping Eagles and used the structure to create our own animal narratives. We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday 8th oct to our Stay, Play and Write session – so you can see a little bit about what writing is about for us!
We are looking forward to beginning our classroom economy next week! Part of our maths curriculum includes learning about and being able to budget and manage money. The class will earn £5 classroom currency for various jobs such as having full PE kit… they will be expected to pay £30 per week for their desk and chair (non negotiable) and the class shop will open during fun 31 where they can spend their money on various treats! Well done to Lorenzo for winning our design competition with his St Ninians design – and Finlay for coming up with the name St Ninian’s Nickles 🥰
We had a P7 meeting on Friday to discuss some of the issues we have coming up – including our Risk Factory trip on Tuesday!
Have a wonderful weekend!
One of the things you will learn about at stay, play and write is how much we love free writing Friday!
I love the sound of your classroom economy, well done Lorenzo for your winning design and for Finlay’s creation of Ninian’s Nickles!! I must pop up and join in with the project.
You will all enjoy Risk Factory – I will miss not getting to go this year as it is one of my favourite P7 trips.
