P7 information letter. Term 2 October to December 2024

Dear parents/ carers of P7 pupils

Reflections from last term 

Primary 7 will continue to enjoy their morning swimming lessons every Monday morning until the 4 November. Every child, without exception has improved their skills, strength and stamina and their confidence in the water.  

The children have learned how to perform CPR on a dummy. We are very grateful to Mr and Mrs Sherriffs for their guidance in teaching this very important skill. 

We continue to read for pleasure every morning and have begun to write book reviews about what we have chosen to read.  

Mr Wrightson has supported a small maths group in his room in the secondary and he is looking forward to working with a new group this term.  

This term 

For your pleasure we shall be performing Snow White in December therefore much of our literacy work will focus on reading, writing and analysing scripts. Every child will be given the opportunity to audition for a speaking part in the musical. There will also be a chorus meaning those who don’t get a speaking part can still be on stage forming a very important part of the play. We will be looking for your support, as parents, to provide costumes and props and of course, to come to our production on the night.  

In maths we will be learning about shape and angles. Our number work will focus on problem solving. There will a focus on laying out our work neatly so that all workings are clear.  

We will be having a visit from St Johnston who will be delivering their Show Racism the Red Card workshop. The Sequoia String Duo will also be paying us a visit to perform for the school so look out for pictures on our website after their visits.  

Finally, there will an opportunity for us to catch up to discuss your child’s progress and look at your child’s work in November at parents’ evening.  

Our timetable remains the same and is as follows: 

 Timetable 

Monday swimming in Aberfeldy until November 3rd. 

Tuesday music (fortnightly). 

Wednesday *PE (Mrs Leck) Gaelic (Miss McPhee). 

Thursday art (Mr Maitland). 

Friday assembly. 

*Gym kit = white tee shirt, black shorts, clean trainers if inside or a change of shoes when outside. 

What to bring to school: - 

 A coat as we try to go outside for breaks whenever possible. 
A bottle of water. 
A healthy play piece such as a piece of fruit as we’re trying to cut down on litter in the playground. 
A cushion to sit on in class.  
If mobile ‘phones are brought to school they must be brought up to class until home time.

Primary 7 have been using their digital skills today to collaborate with each other on GLOW.  They have been creating Power Points about keeping safe on the roads whether in a car on a bike. The Power Points will be shared with the upper primary in our assembly to spread the message about keeping safe.

Primary 7 have been learning how to do CPR on a dummy and place a friend into the recovery position as part of our health and safety lessons. These photos show the children in action.

Primary 7 worked together to create our class charter which is linked to our work on SHANARRI and our three school rules: Be safe, be respectful and be ready. The hands represent us all working together in class and in school.
