We are designing and making our own chocolates and put them into wrappers that we have also designed and made. We are learning this as we are finding out all about Fairtrade because our topic is The Island and people grow cocoa beans on islands.

We have been writing narratives which is a fiction text. Our narratives have been about exploring an island.

In Numeracy and Maths, we have been learning about time. We have been reading clocks and working out durations of time.

In PE we have been playing rounders and learning how to play a team sport. We have been working on bat and ball skills, accuracy and pace and stamina.

We are very excited to make our own chocolates and wrappers.

We are also looking forward to Fitness Fortnight and Sports Day even though it might look a bit different this year.

We are having lots of fun learning all about the Titanic. We have been developing our skills in group working, research, writing, talking and listening, art and science.

I liked decoding French words while I was learning about the Titanic.  AA
I am shocked that the Titianic hit the iceberg and sank because it was super big and everyone thought it was unsinkable.   TE
Over two thousand people were on board the Titianic, including the crew and a couple of celebrities. One of the celebrities was John Jacob Astor. He was American and he did not survive. Another was Dorothy Gibson. She survived.  JWF
Some people survived the sinking of the Titanic and eventually they made it to New York.  AW
The people in first and second class on the Titanic ate baked fish, korma and rice and chicken. I was doing research and I found this out.  AH

In P7P, we are beginning to explore much more of the outdoors and we have looked at how to follow instructions on how to build a tent as part of our writing and we hope to put this into practice soon by building our own tents. We are really excited to be learning new skills of cooperation and showing initiative. Additionally, we will be using problem solving skills to complete many activities in and around the school such as orienteering. These will involve working together and demonstrating resilience. Like previous years in P7, we hope as much as possible for this to resemble the camp experience that P7 learners normally have.

In maths, we have been studying different shapes and working out their perimeter and surface area. We have applied our learning to real-life contexts too such as football pitches and our own playground. In numeracy, we are continuing explore the four capacities of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing and we are using our skills and knowledge to answer worded problems in particular.

Please feel free to send in any pictures by email to the school of P7P children over the years so we can use them for our Leavers Assembly! These will be shared within the Leavers Assembly only and will not be posted online.
