Welcome to P7!

Mrs Preshur is the class teacher and Mrs Fraser is the classroom assistant.

In P7 we are striving to become independent learners, preparing ourselves to transfer to post primary schools at the end of the year. We must be organised, plan for and evaluate our learning, and work cooperatively with others to enhance our school experience.

Homework – Each night P7 receive spellings, mental maths facts, reading and a written homework. 

P7 are also be asked to complete projects at home.  A project may last for up to 1 week. 

Homework consolidates what a child has been learning in class.

Literacy and Numeracy - Pupils will participate in whole class lessons and differentiated activities.

Accelerated Reading - Pupils will choose an Accelerated Reader book to read nightly and they will be responsible for completing their Accelerated Reading Log at home and in class.

The World Around Us- The curriculum requirements of Geography, History and Science will now be taught through topics. They are:

  Term 1 – The Victorians and Map Skills

  Term 2 – The Irish Famine and Titanic

  Term 3 – Rainforest

  Trips will be organised throughout the year to consolidate in class learning

Our P7 topic for first term is 'The Victorians'..... If you are visiting the local library please remind your child that they can research this topic, and share their findings with the class.

• ICT – Children will be taught a range of skills through tasks set by CCEA. Please be aware of Internet Safety at home. Pupils will be asked to access the My School site at home just to take part in online discussions set by the class teacher.

• The Arts– Allows opportunities for pupils to express themselves through Art and Design, Music , and  Drama
