Information
What does learning look like in Primary 7 Alpha?
In class we have created an ethos where we value mistakes as an opportunity to grow our brains and to celebrate the act of trying. We also continually reflect on our own learning and make links of how we can use our newly learnt skills in real life contexts.
The children are encouraged to lead their learning, manage their time effectively and enjoy opportunities to share their ideas and thinking. We continue to seize opportunities for children to do this throughout the school from the moment they arrive at school, to the moment the bell rigs at the end of the day.
We also strive to continually develop a positive ethos and attitude for reading. The class have thoroughly enjoyed reading our first class novel 'Holes'.
PE
Our PE days are on Tuesdays and Fridays (outdoors) However, if the weather is against us during the week, we will use the indoor gym hall on a Wednesday.
Due to our typical Scottish weather, please keep a PE kit in school to allow for this flexibility.
Just remember to please take it home to be washed!
Home Learning
Home learning is issued on a Tuesday, with the hope that it can be handed in on the following Monday. The aim is to ensure home learning is as active and open ended as possible and to encourage pupils to share with you at home what they are learning in class.
