P7me

Numeracy & Maths

We have finished our multiplication block where we covered lots and lots of different methods! We will continue to practise our times tables daily and the four operations through our class number talks.  Our next block is division which will cover the bus stop method with higher numbers and the chunking method.  In Maths, we have been learning about data handling. We have also just completed an Academy Assessment in Numeracy & Maths in preparation for our transition!

Literacy

In literacy, we have been writing recounts and we had a real crime scene set up to base our writing around where poor Mr Swift had been murdered! (pretend only!)  In French and Spanish, we have been learning numerical language and counting up to 100.  We are also learning BSL as part of our assembly which will be on Friday 30th September at 9am!

Other areas

During indoor P.E we are nearing the end of our block of gymnastics.  We have learned how to complete a straddle vault.  Our outdoor P.E block has involved us creating skills stations in small groups to perform to the class and work around in a carousel.

We made our 3D models of the Scottish Parliament building.  Some chose to build out of clay, others chose LEGO or junk modelling.

We have created a script and practised our roles for our assembly.  The leadership team have also been busy organising and planning the MacMillan Coffee morning which will be held directly after our assembly on the 30th.

We have enjoyed:

R – I am really enjoying P7 because it is fun!

H – I enjoyed learning about Parliament because I like politics.

L – I have found the Academy Maths fun to complete!

J – I am enjoying writing for the first time in school because I can be creative!

Please feel free to leave us any comments and we will read them out in class!
