Monday
This week in P7 We had mindfulness with Mrs Smith in the hall. For Maths we did rounding to the nearest 100 1000 etc. to help us remember we use five to the sky four to the floor.
We were summarising an article. Our Boost words for this week came from the article.

Tuesday
We did a poster about understanding the role of Jesus the Healer. We used our novel wonder for Emotions work about the main character getting betrayed. We also made maths posters using our shape, angle and symmetry photos from last week.

Wednesday
In writing we did a diary entry to show the characters emotions –from Wonder. In maths we did standard written addition up to millions.

Thursday
We had a special visitor in our class called Mrs McDonald that came from St Margaret’s to teach us some maths that was really fun.

Friday
Today we had our first house assemblies and we also had Golden Time.

A busy week in P6/7!

 

We are enjoying Kensuke’s Kingdom our class novel for this block. We have discussed the feelings emotions portrayed by the characters in the book and related them to our lives. We then looked at our leisure activities and how the help us to relax. We began our block of rugby with Mr.McCurdy and we need to remember outdoor P.E. kit for this block. In maths, we have been working on improving our Mental Maths through topmarks activities. We have been doing well in our addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. P7 pupils have continued to do a great job in buddying our new p1 children while p6 boys and girls did an excellent job in perfecting last week!

Our amazing P7 blog

Our class novel is wonder and the main character is August.  He has Treacher Collins Syndrome and Cleft palate.

The book Woonder is about a boy called August and this boy has never been to school because of his face. He has had plastic surgery but nothing could change it. He has had 10 normal surgeries but nothing could change that. His mum decided for him to go to school. He gets a tour, meets new friends and has some complications to work with on his first day of school.

We got a class photo outside and we also took one with the p7 from the other class. We took one normal picture and a silly picture. It was for the school to recognise us.

In Maths we are learning different strategies for number talks, like making the numbers bigger or smaller to make them easier to work with. We also went outside to look for angles and shapes. We also learned about an acute, obtuse and right angle.

In P.E. we are starting our rugby block and we are working on our passing, throwing and teamwork. We have a team to remember for the whole block of rugby and we get to take our own warm up while Mr.McCurdy sorts out the P.E. lesson for us.

We are starting our prefecting Rota and we get to prefect indoors and outdoors.

We hope for all the best for P7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s been a great first week in primary 6/7 and everyone has been very enthusiastic to start our learning. Everyone looks great in their full school uniform – very smart, grown up and ready to learn.

We have started our new class novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom. We will be using this as our literacy and topic focus. The pupils have been enjoying reading the novel so far and are looking forward to finding out more about the main character Michael.

We have created our new class charter and agreed on what we think is best for our classroom. We have spoken about the three themes for our school: Ready, Respectful, Safe. 

Important information for this term.
PE days for this term will be Monday and Wednesday and pupils will be outside for Rugby (outdoor kit needed including trainers).
Pupils should have indoor shoes for wearing in the classroom.
Pupils should be ready to learn by bringing a sharp pencil to school everyday and any other equipment needed for that day.
Pupils should also bring a full bottle of water every day, which can be refilled if needed.

It’s been a great week working with primary 6/7.
