Happy New Year! Here is a round up of the ongoing tasks for P7 at the moment.

Scots Language – Please choose between “To a Mouse” and “Address to a Haggis” to learn at home by heart. Learn as much of the poem as you can. We will hear the recitations on MONDAY 28th JANUARY 2019. This will have given you three weeks to learn your poem. Here is a link to a Burns library if you have lost your sheet (https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poet/robert-burns/).
Resilience – Have a Goal home task to be completed by FRIDAY 8th FEBRUARY 2019.
Maths – We have been looking at the properties of 2D shape. If you would like further practise, go to (https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/83/sort_shapes_venn).
Scots focus – for our Scots Assembly we are learning “Caledonia”. You can practise using this clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP8A9rtg0iI).

Finally, here is our child friendly plan for this week.

Homework – Please remember both MATHS and RESEARCH homework are now overdue. If you have not handed them in, please return them to class ASAP. Keep practising the song and working on your table decoration for the ceilidh which is next week. In mental maths – practise counting on as a method of subtraction. For example, if the calculation was 425-321…. start on 321. How many do you add on to get to 330? Then 400? Then 425. Think of subtraction as finding the difference.

03.12.18

Homework – remember to keep working on the 5 Winter Homework Challenges issued two weeks ago. In mental maths, practice PARTITIONING to add. (For example, when adding 345+237, think of it as : 300 + 200 + 40 + 30 + 5 + 7).
