Our week of learning - PYP7

This was a busy week for PYP7 – with assemblies, bazaar performance practice and finishing off bazaar items.

In Language we have used the week to consolidate our punctuation work from throughout the term.  Maths this week has been all about geometry – with each class working on plotting shapes on coordinate grids. Our Unit of Inquiry this week has centred on making PSAs (Public Service Announcements) that allow our schoolmates to benefit from our study into conflict resolution.

Check out some these photos from the week’s excitement:

Our week of learning - PYP7

This week saw us continue our look at play-scripts, with scripts being written with character descriptions, spoken lines and stage directions. We also had an opportunity to perform Readers theatre. Readers Theatre is a dramatic presentation of a written work in a script form. Readers read from a "script" and reading parts are divided among the readers. No memorization, costumes, blocking, or special lighting is needed.

In Maths this week we have revisited our fractions skill of finding a common denominator. This time we are using it to add and subtract fractions. Our answers have been expressed as improper fractions and so we need to be able to convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers.

In our Unit of Inquiry, we have been exploring conflicts within St Francis, with the aim of taking action to solve these issues around the school. We have used thinking routines to consider the information we have collected and we are ready to spring into action.
