Reading groups have been established along with regular Reflective Reading lessons. Writing has been linked to our contexts for learning \u2018Our Democratic World\u2019 and \u2018Myths and Legends.\u2019\u00a0 These topics offer many opportunities for writing from many genres, including persuasive letter writing, recounts and imaginative story writing. Listening and talking opportunities are also linked to our context for learning topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our current mathematics and numeracy focus is \u2018Whole Number.\u2019 Over the coming weeks, we will be looking at the importance of: place value; addition; subtraction; multiplication; division; order of operations and negative numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Health and wellbeing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with our sports coach Gregg on a weekly basis. These sessions are linked with the skills we will be developing during our PE slots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During our gym lessons this term, we have learned more about fitness and also focused on improving our hockey and tennis skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our health and wellbeing lessons this term were based on the indicators Safe and Healthy, from the SHANARRI wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We took some time to remind ourselves about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. We worked together to identify some articles which we consider important to us and to children around the world. We have included these articles in our Class Charter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roots Of Empathy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Roots of Empathy programme is well underway and we are delighted to have this year\u2019s Tiny Teacher Baby Glen and his mum visit us. Through the development of the baby, we are learning about empathy, neuroscience, temperament and the power of love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contexts For Learning:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the first 4 weeks of the new term, our context for learning was looking at \u2018Our Demographic World.\u2019 Primary 7 had the opportunity to learn about democracy and the history of our voting system. We looked at the role of an MSP, the government and parliament. We created our own Polling Station and Ballot Box for our own class election. We were also visited by our local councillor Karin Van Sweden. We also spent some time learning about the history of our voting system and the work of the suffragettes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018Myths and Legends\u2019 is our second focus (starting in September until 13th November), where the class are given the opportunity to rewrite fairy tales and also create stories of their own. We will also be addressing stereotypes in fairy tales along with creating some artwork linked to the topic. We will be creating a whole school Fairy tale and also acting in our \u2018Play In A Day\u2019 session later on in term 2.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things to Remember: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday – Sports Coach session, please wear comfortable \/ sports clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wednesday – PE please wear comfortable clothes \/ sports clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mobile phones must be handed into the office every morning before school starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Water bottles and a healthy snack should be brought from home every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some Photos From This Term:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Music with Mr Horton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
