Hello! Welcome to the November Blog of Primary 7 Alpha.
ENTERPRISE
This month we have started our enterprise project 'Brilliant Bookmarks'
Prior to starting our enterprise, we undertook some independent and group research to learn about what makes a successful busyness. For home learning the children undertook their own research to find out information on a successful company and presented their findings to the class. Their was a lot of popularity with 'Apple'.
"I learned that a business needs to be innovative and change with the times to be successful"
We also filled out job applications and tried to convince our reader/employer why we would be suitable for a specific role in the company.
The roles available were
Administrations team
Marketing team
Production team
Managing director
LITERACY - CHARACTER
In our writing, we have been focusing on characterisation. We have been using the STEAL method to help structure our descriptions and use a range of effective vocabulary.
S - Speech (What would the character say, how would they say it?)
T - Thoughts (What are they thinking about?)
E - Emotions (What are they feeling, why are they feeling that way?)
A - Actions - (How do they move, what would they e doing?)
L - Looks (What do they look like? What are they wearing?)
Keeping in the spirit of Halloween, we were given the challenge of describing a scary character using the STEAL mehtod.
KAPLA
KAPLA
In class, the children have been enjoying starting their Tuesday morning using the KALA blocks.
KAPLA is a loose part resource which encourages sharing, imagination, experimentation and open ended thinking. The children are given weekly challenges to create a variety of structures where they must work together.
