This term we have been an Aviation topic. We have been learning about Aviation jobs, we have been trying to fly drones and have been building an obstacle course to fly them through. This was quite tricky because the drones kept crashing and having technical difficulties.

We have been learning about Black History Month. BHM was created by Carter G Woodson. It is celebrated in the month of October in the UK. We have been learning about influential black people from history and have written newspaper articles about them as part of our writing.

We have been learning to convert fractions into decimals and percentages. We are going to be taking part in a whole school Financial Education focus over the next few weeks. We will be learning about Salaries, Mortgages and Budgeting.

Some of us have pitched this years Enterprise idea to Mrs Angus. We were successful and our budget got approved. Keep an eye out for our adverts soon!

Have a good weekend! P7MO 🙂

Welcome back after the October Holidays!

In literacy we have been using a new website called Pixton. Pixton is an online comic maker. Everyone in the class signs into a class group and makes an avatar for themselves which can be used in their own comics. We have used this to create a few comics about plastic pollution and season themes.

In numeracy we have been focusing on fractions. We have been creating our own fraction board games, working on ordering fractions and have been working with equivalent fractions as well.

This term we are taking part in an Air Race Challenge. We are going to be programming and racing drones. We have also been researching careers in aviation. We are also going to be designing our own skins for the drones.

We are also planning a Poppy Scotland Assembly which we will present to the rest of the school. We will be hosting this assembly on Friday the 11th of November to mark Remembrance Day.

Please note that we have also handed out letters about leavers hoodies. Please return these to school ASAP.

In PE we have been continuing with gymnastics. We have been learning how to do cartwheels and vaulting. We have also been creating our own stations during our outdoor sessions on a Wednesday.

In literacy we have been writing mystery recounts. We have recounted a mysterious death and we had a crime scene set up to give us clues as to what happened.

In numeracy we have been focusing on division and have been doing some revision work sent to us from the Academy. We have also finished looking at the lattice method and Japanese method for multiplication. In maths, with Mrs Cross, we have been looking at data handling.

The leadership team have been very busy preparing for our Coffee Morning this Friday and the rest of P7 have been creating and rehearsing for our P7 assembly this Friday. We would love any cake donations for Thursday 29th of September. We hope to see you there!
