This week P7\/6 had a taster course<\/em><\/strong> of golf. \u00a0As you can see from these photos it was everyone’s cup of tee. \u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\"img_10901\"<\/a>\"img_10891\"<\/a>\"img_11001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We wood\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>have loved it to be series of lessons as everyone was really enjoying learning these new skills. \u00a0The children learned how to putt and chip the ball. \u00a0Jessica said, “we had to try and chip the ball into the basketball hoop”. \u00a0Even I had a go but I was well below par<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>with my shot. \u00a0Harburn Golf Club\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>gave out leaflets about further opportunities available to the children during the October Holiday to try and encourage and drive\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>forward this traditional sport.<\/p>\n

The P7 children this week attended a local Athletics Festival. \u00a0Jack said “we did javelin, running as well as other things. \u00a0We did a relay race and our team won!” \u00a0Well done P7!<\/p>\n

The postman had a busy day at St Ninian’s as he delivered American pen pal letters for everyone in P7\/6. \u00a0Aaron said “we got a letter from an American kid”, Aurora said “we have learned a lot about the USA and we wrote back to a pen friend”. \u00a0The children were given the task of writing a letter back. \u00a0The children are noticing the improvement in their letter writing skills due to the\u00a0series of lessons on this, Oskar received a Dojo acknowledgement message home as a result of his amazing effort this week! \u00a0Well done, P7\/6 letter writing is an important skill for life!<\/p>\n

We have continued to use our Maths Glass Wall in class to support our learning.<\/p>\n

This week it focused on helping us with finding the perimeter and area of a rectangle. \u00a0If you would like further\u00a0explanation of these concepts try this video presentation,<\/p>\n

Next week we will be continuing with finding the area of composite shapes and triangles. \u00a0P7 will also look at the order of operations using the BODMAS rule (you can reply back if you know what this stands for…you will get an extra dojo point!) and P6 will be learning more strategies for written and mental multiplication.<\/p>\n

Have a lovely weekend,<\/p>\n
