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:

Conflict Homework

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.

Conflict

Our week of learning - PYP7

Another week of learning has been completed, full of meaningful inquiry.

Maths this week saw Omega and Sigma classes host the Mexican Exchange students. We introduced aspects of our Unit of Inquiry and looked at sales figures for weapons around the world. Using our excellent written maths skills, we were able to look at and compare sales between countries and see how much countries spend on weapons and how much it would cost for an aircraft carrier and fighter jets! 

In Language, we have been looking at settings and making a start on writing play scripts. This is a useful skill, with two PYP7 assemblies coming up - Beta and Omega! 

 

Our Unit of Inquiry into conflict has centred around research this week, with each class looking at examples of conflicts that interest us and examining the cause of the conflicts. We are also working towards real action to resolve conflict at St. Francis, with each class beginning to examine what types of conflicts are present in our school. 

This week we have Parent Teacher Meeting. Please remember to book a time with your child's teacher through youcanbookme.
