Numeracy🔢

We wrote subtraction sums for our partner, working with numbers to 2 decimal places. We had to calculate our answers mentally before passing our work back for our partner for them to check.

‘The Internet has Made the World a Better Place’

We had a very interesting class debate on the above statement. Half of the class argued ‘against’ while the other half argued ‘for.’ 

September Celebration Assembly Awards

Well done to all our September winners! Very deserving winners!

Literacy✏️

We were looking at different types of inventions again and what category they fall into. The category could have been transportation or an electrical invention, for example. We worked in groups to colour code each item before thinking of our own ideas. 

Numeracy🔢

We have been working hard revising our number work and understanding the value of each digit, particularly the digits after a decimal point. One of our activities included getting a number and putting them in order from smallest to largest around the classroom. 

ICT💻

In the computer suite we watched two videos and made notes, comparing and contrasting the houses of a wealthy and poor Victorian. We know which house we would pick if we had the choice!

Literacy✏️

P7B take on the Hot Seat! With all the research we have gathered on Queen Victoria, it was time to put it to use. As a class we prepared questions for ‘Queen Victoria’ and then posed these questions to a few willing participants.

Drama🎭

Over the years we have had lots of ‘Amazing Inventions.’ Some of these inventions include the first steam train, penicillin, technology and electricity. P7 looked at how they impact our lives today and the way we live. In groups, we acted out what life would look like without, and then with the invention. Can you guess what inventions we are acting out?

Primary 7 enjoying PE 🏃‍♂️

ICT Suite💻

In the ICT Suite we have been continuing with our ‘Victorians’ WAU topic. In pairs, everyone had to create a poster to record a set of facts and opinions on Queen Victoria, using Adobe Express. 

Numeracy🔢

Primary 7 have been working on mental maths skills. We were considering the different possible methods to complete a sum, and what way we found easiest.

Forest School🌳

We went to Forest School and collected a variety of natural resources such as leaves, twigs and small flowers. We came inside and used an app called ‘KaleidaCam’ on the iPads to capture a variety of designs, through various different arrangements.

Literacy✏️

We have been looking at the author Charles Dickens and the famous extract from ‘Oliver Twist’ where Oliver asks for more food. One half of the class argued that Oliver should have asked for more food, while the remainder argued that he should not have asked for more food. We took time thinking and discussing our arguments before presenting them and taking part in a ‘conscience alley’.

World Around Us🌍

In our WAU topic ‘Victorians’, we considered children of that time and the jobs they unfortunately had to do. Every group was provided with a different picture. They had to use the details in the picture to guess the job and present their ideas to the class, before finding out if they were correct. 

Art🌻

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch painter in the late 1800s known for his bright colourful paintings. We looked into his life and some of his artwork, specifically his ‘Sunflower’ painting. We used chalk to recreate our own. 

Forest School🌳

Over the summer, there were lots of upgrades made to our Forest School. Primary 7 had a great time exploring!

Literacy ✏️

We thought back to our summer holidays and designed our very own postcard! We picked a location to write from, looked carefully at the style of writing and drew a picture.
