Burns Supper We are excited about beginning to plan and prepare for our Burns Supper in January! We will be learning all about Robert Burns and reciting some of his most famous work. School Camp It’s the highlight of P7! We will be having a meeting to discuss our upcoming trip in February to During the first week of term, the P7 pupils created a Class Charter. We discussed the importance of children having rights and thought about how we are each responsible for ensuring those rights. In groups, we then worked together to create rules and expectations which we think are important for a happy and productive classroom. Here they are! We will make sure that we use positive language and make positive choices when we feel angry or upset. Lego Competition Sone of the P7s were lucky enough to be given the opportunity to participate in the biggest STEM competition in the world run by LEO and Napier Uni and I am delighted to say they came 4 th out of 14 schools- well done guys!

THE BEST RESPECTF EQUALITY TEAMWORK WELCOMING Maths and Numeracy -We have successfully covered addition & subtraction, and can now use one or more strategies to complete questions. The children are able to describe, plot and record the location of different coordinates and managed to create fun emoji pictures using their skills! We have also been working weekly on problem solving work, completing it as a group or in pairs. We quickly learned all our angles and will continue to reinforce what we have learned. Literacy- We have focused a lot on our tools for writing, particularly on using descriptive language and various techniques such as alliteration, similes and metaphors. We are continuously trying to up-level our written work. We enjoyed working on our “6 word stories” written work inspired by Ernest Hemmingway. We have also analysed different pieces of writing and extracted the relevant information to create a new piece of text. We are continuing to read daily in class and will begin a new class novel linked to our new topic. Class Information for Parent Our Learning Journey so far… Where will our learning go next?
