Term 2 In Primary 7

We have had a very busy term 2 and can’t believe how quickly the 8 weeks have gone by!

Staffing

We have welcomed Miss Farquharson, who has been working alongside Mrs Kelman, to help plan, deliver and evaluate our lessons. Miss Farquharson is a student at Aberdeen University and is enjoying the opportunity of learning and developing her teaching skills.

Numeracy

This term we completed our topic on whole numbers and money. We have extended our learning on money, comparing costs to determine affordability, learning about profit and loss, and understanding the benefits and risks of using bank and credit cards to purchase goods.

Literacy

We have continued with our reading, grammar and spelling lessons. In Taught Writing we have developed our skill of writing in different genres. We have created imaginary stories, recalled previous events and created our own advertisements! We have now started to use the CYPIC writing programme, with a focus on punctuation.

IDL

We have covered two contexts for learning this term, ‘Myths and Legends’ and ‘Performers and Performances’. We enjoyed preparing for our pantomime and had the opportunity to take part in a drama workshop. We were also invited to the Arts Centre to watch St. Margaret’s School For Girls’ production of Les Miserables, which we enjoyed very much!

This year, it was our turn to perform in the school’s annual pantomime ‘Pirates of the Curry Bean.’ 

We had the opportunity to perform in front of an audience, singing, dancing and acting out the story. We were responsible for ensuring we knew our lines, our voices were projecting and our singing was in tune! We also made our own props too! Although we had to practise a lot, we were all very proud of our performances!

We will continue to learn from all areas of the curriculum next term and are looking forward to our new IDL context ‘Our Cultural World.’

On behalf of everyone in Primary Seven we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
