This week the children have been continuing to learn all about decimal fractions using tenths and hundredths.  They have been sequencing decimal numbers, adding and subtracting and today were working on multiplying a decimal fraction by a single digit using the standard written method.  Well done P7 and keep up the hard work.

This term the children will be focusing on decimals, fractions and percentages in their maths and have made a great start to the term with this.  This week the children have been sequencing and ordering decimals, adding and subtracting mentally and adding and subtracting with the standard written method using tenths and hundredths.  For their Japan topic the children have been set a research project and have been making Kimono bookmarks for themselves and for their P1 buddies.

Today the P7 class went to a food event which was held in Livingstone Football Club.  They watched a chef demonstrate how to cook mussels and mackerel, made smoothies, watched a barista make coffee and tasted lots of other freshly cooked items such as pasta, scones and bread.  The children also gathered lots of career information about careers they may enter into linked with the food industry.

On Wednesday the P7 class took a trip to Sky Skills Studio in Livingston to make a 6 minute TV report called Mind, Body and Sport. The children had to work as a team and developed their skills such as self management, creativity and problem solving.

This week the P7s helped their buddies every day at lunchtime to support them with settling in and learning the routines connected with the dinner hall.  On Friday the children also had their first buddy session and worked in groups to listen to the P1 children talk about their ‘Marvellous Me’ boxes.
