P7B 4th October

Hello P7B families, it’s Fatima M and Veerica,  your weekly bloggers! 

 

 Our class has had a wonderful week as it was Mathematics Week Scotland, aka Maths Week Scotland. We have done loads of fun and engaging activities related to this. Here is a brief review of our week as a class: 

 

• We were looking at maths in nature and we did some animal symmetry! 

• As an activity for Maths Week Scotland, we made our own math tales about a shape, a number and this year’s mascot Finn Finity. 

• Another thing that we did as part of Maths Week Scotland, we did some fun math activities with P5A outside in the playground. 

• We dug deeper into the “why?” of shapes and had a look at “why?” the shapes that we see in everyday life are used in ways that make them incredibly convenient and strong. 

• As a stem activity that related to the “why?” of shapes, we created structures out of cocktail stick and little gems sweets that would withstand Miss MacGregor’s incredible anger toward our structures which meant she would hurl them toward the whiteboard and the tables to make sure they were strong enough. Veerica also ended up eating the rest of the sweets that were left and trust me when I say there were a lot of sweets… 

• We also had one of our weekly lessons from St. Margarets Academy and this time it was Halloween French Vocabulary. 

• In Spanish this week, we drew around the body of a human from our class and labeled the body parts in Spanish. 

• On Thursday, we as a class decided to take a breather and sit and read quietly for half an hour. We enjoyed the reading and felt ready to take on the rest of the day. 

• The last important thing we did this week was take part in the school football team tryouts, we will get informed who has made the team and who has not after the October break! Good luck everyone! 

 

That’s all for this week. Tune in next Friday for more highlights and enjoy your weekend everybody!
