May - June 2025
It\'s hard to believe that term 3 is here already. This will be the last term at primary school for our P7 classes but there is still lots to do!
Pupils will be finding out about their new schools which will bring a lot of excitement but also some nerves. We will help to prepare them for this transition as much as possible.
Our new World Around Us topic for this final term is Rainforests and this will be incorporated into our literacy work too. Within Literacy we will continue to develop our understanding of different types of punctuation such as speech marks, colons, semi-colons and commas. Within grammar we will be learning about pronouns, prepositions and types of sentences while also improving our editing skills. We will also reading a variety of texts to help the development of comprehension skills. Please continue to encourage your child to read as much as possible at home too.
In Numeracy we will continue to learn about algebra, 3D shapes, co-ordinates, data handling and measures. So much of this numeracy is dependent on good foundations in maths facts and times tables so it is important to keep practicing these at home.
Homework is very important and it does help the pupils so much so please encourage your child to complete their spellings, tables and reading each night. Education City is also an important part of their online homework so please ensure your child is engaging with these activities on a regular basis.
Please continue to check the main P7 page and class SeeSaw regularly for updates and photos of your child.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
