P7J Class 2021/22

We have moved onto our new maths topic: Properties of Shapes. This week the children have been exploring angles on a straight line, angles around a point and vertically opposite angles. Acquiring this knowledge will enable them to calculate missing angles.

P7J have been working hard to produce the script for our end of year assembly. The writing has been completed, the pressure is now on the children to learn their lines!

We look forward to seeing you at 12:45 on Thursday 16th June.

We are continuing to study 'Wonder' by R.J.Palacio. This week we have been looking at precepts:

noun

1. 1.
   a general rule intended to regulate behaviour or thought.
   "the legal precept of being innocent until proven guilty"

The class have made up their own precepts that will help guide them in the future.

We are coming to the end of our statistics block of work, this week the class have been learning about Pie Charts and the mean average. The children have been finding fractions and percentages of values and using this information to analyse a variety of Pie Charts.

Our end of year assessments will start on Monday this week. The children will sit three Maths and three English papers. To help the children do their best please ensure that they get enough sleep.

This term's text is Wonder by R.J.Palacio. Wonder is a fantastic, uplifting story about a boy called August, if you get chance ask your child about it. The blurb on the back reads:

'My name is August.

I won't describe what I look like.

Whatever you're thinking.

It's probably worse.'

Our first topic of term three is all about drawing and interpreting line graphs. By the end of the topic the children will have a deeper understanding of how to interpret and generate a variety of different graphs.
