It provided us with lots of things to talk about and we used our key points to make topic sentences to help us structure our paragraphs. We have also been ploughing through our class novel &#8211; Divided City. Is there anything better than spending the last 15 minutes of the day curled up with a book? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Numeracy \u2013 We were excited to welcome some teachers from across our cluster this week to observe our Number Talks session! Sometimes we struggle to articulate our strategies in number talks so we have spent the last few weeks revising our various multiplication strategies. We took it right back to basics with simple problems to help us build confidence in talking through our mental strategies. The observing teachers were very impressed with our knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>HWB \u2013 I think it is worth a mention that the young people in primary 7 are the most wonderful audience for the youngest members of our school family. The P1 class came to share their writing last week and the P7 audience showed patience, kindness and respect as they interacted with the P1 pupils. Sometimes the pressure of P7 is a lot, with expectations of behaviour, learning and looking forward to the big changes ahead of us &#8211; but it was a wonderful opportunity for our P7 pupils to flourish as positive role models and supportive peers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The P1 children brought their latest piece of writing to P7 today to share \ud83d\udcdd they made leaflets about Edinburgh Castle and were so confident when sharing their learning!
