This week P7 have taken part in numerous learning activities.

Maths and Numeracy

We have been learning how to calculate the fraction of an amount where the numerator is more than one. We have also been practising our four operations: add, subtract, multiply and division. We have been doing a 100 times table test where we were given 10 minutes to do it and solve as many calculations as we could. We have also been practising our maths skills using Active Learning.

Literacy 

In literacy this week we have been doing a lot of handwriting try to improve our presentation and join our letters. In writing we have been looking at haiku poems and creating our very own haiku about winter. In reading we have been enjoying ERIC time reading our own novel and the class novel ‘Hunger Games’. We were also learning about poems and poetry techniques such as personification.

Health and Wellbeing 

In P.E. with Mrs Howard we did a Snowman Challenge where we had to do activities to get parts to build our snowman. The skills we used were hand-eye coordination; literacy and creativity. We also practised the Gay Gordons dance in preparation for our Christmas party.

Any Other Business 

In science we learned about life cycles and what mammals are.

We also enjoyed our treat for achieving our Gold Sports Award which was a silent disco.

We watched our buddies perform the nativity and they did really well!

This has been a very busy week for us as we continue learning lots of new things on the lead up to our Christmas holidays. In topic we researched different cultures and how Christmas is celebrated in different countries. We presented our findings to the class and then used this research to write reports. Here are a few of our highlights:

Calvin, ‘ I enjoyed the Snowman Challenge in P.E because my group came second.  We had to use our literacy and numeracy skills to work out what task we had to do’.

Leah, Ali and Logan did a fantastic job helping to lead our Wider Achievements Assembly showing super confidence and public speaking skills.

Erinn, ‘ I really enjoyed the silent disco that we had to celebrate our school winning the Gold Award for Sport.’

Parker, ‘ I really enjoyed developing my money skills during numeracy. I managed to complete a whole page!’

Roslynn, ‘We visited our school library this week and got to choose a book to read for enjoyment.’
