P7MO 11.11.22

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 🙂

Primary 6 Blog 11th November 2022

Literacy

In literacy, we have been making links between topic and writing.  We have written imagined recounts of evacuated children and created imaginative poems about life in the trenches. We have also make links with our grammar and punctuation lessons by including figurative language, similes, metaphors and speech.

Numeracy

In numeracy, we have started working with decimals.  We have learned how to order, round, add subtract and multiply decimals by 10, 100 and 1000.

Next we will be looking at fractions. We will be understanding how to identify and simplify fractions as well as matching fractions to their equivalent decimal number. In Maths, we have continued to develop our knowledge and understanding of measuring length, weight and volume.

Other

In groups, we have been discussing what we already know about World War 2 and what we would like to learn.  We have created a KWL grid to show what we plan to investigate during our topic.  We have created a timeline to show the correct order of the main events that lead to the start of the war.

In science, we have been participating in an Air Race Challenge.  For the challenge we have investigated different jobs to do with aerospace including air traffic control, engineer and pilot.  We have researched a range of famous aviators including Amelia Earhart and Tim Peake.  Next we will be designing an obstacle course for a set of drones to fly through.

ELC Blog Update 10.11.22

In the ELC, we have been learning about Autumn. We know that the leaves fall off the trees and we have to tidy them up. We have been doing this in our garden. We got apples from the tree in the ELC garden as well. We were peeling and chopping them and we made apple pie and apple soup. We have been looking at our autumn books and the acorns.

We were finding out how we get milk and then we were learning about the planets, the stars and the moon. We built a rocket for our role play. We wanted to know how many days it would take us get to the moon, so we had to research to find out and we now know it takes 3 days. We have been practising counting backwards for the countdown for our rocket blast off.

We have been doing exercise to keep us strong and make us healthy.

We are looking forward to doing lots more learning as we head towards Christmas.
