Welcome to Primary 7
This term, we have been busy learning and developing lots of skills. Find out what we have all been up to below.
Children's Mental Health Week 2024
To celebrate Children's Mental Health week we have been 'taking 5'.
We have been connecting, keeping active, taking notice, learning and giving.
Numeracy
In Numeracy, Primary 7 have been developing lots of skills. We have been practising our knowledge on Place Value and we really enjoyed our outdoor learning task of 'Place Value Scoot'. We have also been working hard to develop our multiplication skills, working to solve tricky long multiplication problems.
In our topic work, we have been exploring 2D shape, working on our knowledge of angles. We had great fun predicting angles and coding our Sphero's to problem-solve to find the exact angles.
Literacy
In Literacy, our boys and girls have been working to develop their persuasive writing techniques, exploring speeches and advertisements. The children had a blast using Green Screen and iMovie to edit and produce their own BBC News report based on our World Around Us topic, World War 2.
World Around Us
During term 1, Primary 7 explored World War 2 as their topic. Children enjoyed a range of activities such as making their own rationed birthday cake, creating WW2 timelines and exploring the life of an evacuee, reading a range of letters from evacuee's themselves! We have especially enjoyed making our own Anderson Shelters and testing if they withstood a 1kg weight being dropped on them!
We are also enjoying our current class novel, based on the life of an evacuee during WW2, Goodnight Mister Tom.
Recycling Week
During recycling week our children enthusiastically conducted litter picks around their own homes and local area. They even managed to reuse some items!
Primary 7 News
Primary 7 received a visit from Jamie at Ballymoney museum. We loved seeing some old documents and uniforms from WW2. We even saw some names we recognised from around Stranocum!
