7RR - Highlights of Term 2B13 April 2022 (by Class Teacher (teacher)) |
End of Term 2B Update
The pupils of 7RR have continued to complete a range of fun and exciting learning activities throughout Term 2B. Some of the highlights during Term 2B include:
- In Language and Literacy, we completed activities in relation to our novel, ‘Kaspar Prince of Cats’. We identified the features of a haiku and wrote a haiku about the Titanic. Additionally, we continued to complete weekly spelling, grammar and comprehension activities and worked hard to meet our weekly Accelerated Reading targets.
- In Numeracy, we continued to develop our knowledge of the four operations and practised applying the formal written method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. We used our knowledge of measure to convert g to kg and kg to t. We practised simplifying, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions.We analysed the 8 points of a compass and in a special ICT-themed maths lesson, we used our knowledge of position and direction to code Sphero robots! We also continued to complete Mathletics challenges with many pupils achieving bronze, silver and gold certificates!
- In the World Around Us we continued to complete activities in relation to our topic, ‘Unsinkable’. We studied the features of advertisements from the early 1900s and designed a poster to advertise Titanic’s maiden voyage. To celebrate Science Week, we conducted a science experiment using our very own iceberg! We used our problem-solving skills and worked collaboratively to design a boat from corrugated card that was powered by an elastic band.
- In Term 2B we took part in a variety of fun and challenging PE sessions that was delivered by Davy from the IFA. These sessions developed our football skills. We completed our final swimming lessons at the Joey Dunlop Centre. We also had the opportunity to play table tennis during our Friday Golden Time!
- In RE, we used Grow in Love to explore the concept of ‘Conscience’. In a special set of lessons, we planned, designed and created a board game for our younger pupils to help them count and promote good choices.
- In PDMU, we discussed the feelings that we experience in our lives and identified what can lead to us experiencing these feelings. We also completed our series of ‘Turning the Page’ lessons with the Causeway Vineyard.
