Numeracy<\/u><\/p>\n
We are continuing to enjoy our Transition project with Armadale Academy every week.\u00a0 In class we continue to practise strategies to consolidate our multiplication skills such as the grid method, the column method and the lattice method.\u00a0 We also continue to practise our times tables daily as our challenge is to know these forwards and backwards by Easter!\u00a0 We have begun a block of algebra where we are learning various strategies to simplify algebraic equations.\u00a0 Some P7 children have been leading their own learning in Numeracy by developing multiplication lessons for other stages.\u00a0 They then delivered these lessons to the younger children during outdoor learning which was a great success!<\/p>\n
Literacy<\/u><\/p>\n
In literacy we are focusing on features of non-fiction.\u00a0 We dissected various pieces of non-fiction texts including newspaper reports, persuasive, discussion and recounts, to compare language features, purpose and subject.<\/p>\n
During our Scots focus fortnight, we each recited a Scots poem, wrote our own Scots poems and translated text into Scots.\u00a0 We also created our own comic strips based on \u2018The Broons\u2019 family! \u00a0Well done to N and F who were our P7m finalists and took 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> in the poetry recital competition!<\/p>\n IDL<\/u><\/p>\n We have been learning about glaciers and different ice ages within our IDL.\u00a0 We have produced fact files on the various megafauna and created beautiful frozen landscapes using tissue paper and oil pastels.\u00a0 We are looking forward to our STEM experiments next week for glacial erosion and movement.<\/p>\n Other areas<\/u><\/p>\n P.E \u2013 We recently completed our Heptathlon challenge in P.E, which gave us an opportunity to participate in some field and track events such as standing triple jump, shot putt and hurdles.\u00a0 We continue to do a mixture of indoor and outdoor P.E, \u00a0and we have started a new block of gymnastics and handball.<\/p>\n We have enjoyed:<\/u><\/p>\n L \u2013 I have really enjoyed learning about algebra and the grid method.<\/p>\n T \u2013 I find our new topic is really good, I especially like learning about glaciers.<\/p>\n K \u2013 I\u2019ve enjoyed our new topic \u2018Frozen\u2019.<\/p>\n C \u2013 I have enjoyed doing the column method in numeracy.<\/p>\n O \u2013 I\u2019ve enjoyed learning about glaciers.<\/p>\n E \u2013 I\u2019ve enjoyed doing gymnastics, especially backwards rolls and stag jumps.<\/p>\n Z \u2013 I really enjoyed our Heptathlon challenge!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Numeracy We are continuing to enjoy our Transition project with Armadale Academy every week.\u00a0 In class we continue to practise strategies to consolidate our multiplication skills such as the grid method, the column method and the lattice method.\u00a0 We also continue to practise our times tables daily as our challenge is to know these forwards […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16801,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16801"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20233"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20234,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20233\/revisions\/20234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/wl\/windyknowe\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
