This week in P7 we have been learning about Suffragettes as part of our Democracy topic. In writing we created a speech which we would have presented to the government at the time when the suffragettes were trying to get the vote for women and we also enjoyed learning about some of the tactics which they used by listening to a Horrible Histories song. The link is below for you to enjoy, it’s really funny!

In maths we have been working on scale drawings which many people use in their everyday lives and jobs. We have been measuring scales used on maps and scale drawings which architects use when designing buildings.
Finally, we are using Muckle Reading again this term and this week we started our first task map. It is really important that we learn to answer all different types of questions and that we always do our reading homework so that we can keep up with the storyline. Some of the questions which we use are taken from Blooms. There is a link to some example questions below.

Have a great weekend!
Really enjoyed reading your blog post tonight, P7. It always interests me to hear about the experiences of our senior pupils.
I watched your suffragettes video link! It was funny! A great way to link your learning.
Lots of skills being developed in maths and literacy this week too. I’d like to pop in next week to have a look at your jotters to see how your written work is progressing too.
