Reading – We are reading The Diary of Anne Frank. This is part of our WW2 studies and will also incorporate  some learning about Judaism.

   Mr Forbes , a student teacher,  continues his placement with us on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Mr Forbes has already started a music project with the class which should be exciting and lots of fun!

Homework :

Spelling –  Please hand in completed work on Friday. Please ensure all writing is neat.

Maths/Numeracy – This week we will be studying number patterns/relationships and rotational symmetry. I will give out a homework task relating to this on Thursday.

⭐⭐⭐Congratulations to OT who represented P7 in our annual Scots Poetry Recital and took top prize within the upper atrium! Many thanks to him and all the other pupils who worked so hard to learn their poems and were brave enough to recite in front of the class! Well done! ⭐⭐⭐

That’s all for now,

Thank you,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a healthy and relaxing break.

Information update:

• PE days are now Tuesday and Thursday for P7. Children should come dressed for PE indoors or outdoors.
• Packed lunches – due to a slight tightening of Covid restrictions within school, children in P7 can no longer buy a school dinner. Therefore, pupils should bring their own packed lunch from home once more. Children will eat this in the classroom.
• Clothing – Please come to school dressed in layers than can be taken off/put on easily in class. In our efforts to keep rooms well ventilated, we will continue to have windows and doors open as much as possible.  All classes have a CO2 monitor too.
• A letter about current Covid procedures should have been received.
• Next week, I will post more information about P7s curriculum this term and news about Chromebooks that each pupil will receive soon.

That’s all for now,

Miss S Brunt
