⭐️💫Welcome to Mr McVeigh's💫⭐️
Primary 7 class.
📚
Our First Topic
👀🦷🧠👂🫁👣🦵🦶🫀
In Term 1A we will embark upon the study of what 'Healthy Living' may entail.
We will find out about the human body and how it works, thinking about actions we can do to make the most of our body - healthy eating, exercise, spirituality and prayer, meditation, kindness and preparedness are some of the many ways to keep healthy in body, mind and soul.
🏀🏈🏓 P.E. ⚽️🎾🏐
In P.E. our focus will be on the basic formations and movements in gymnastics.
P.E. lessons take place for our class on Mondays and Fridays. Please make sure to wear appropriate P.E. gear and footwear on those days.
Swimming: more information will follow.
🎶🎻🎷 Music 🎷🎻🎶
In Music we get into the groove by exploring rhythm and melody in singing, movement and dance. The children learn about beat, syncopation, pitch and harmony and take a trip around the world to celebrate the universal language of music.
🙏🏻 R.E. : Handing on the Catholic Faith
For those who take part in Grow in Love - the Religion Programme for Study for Catholic Schools - we will begin P7 by learning about the formation of the Canon of Scripture and the origin of the books of The Holy Bible.
📙 Homework 🎒
As the children make their way through this first term we hope they will log on to Google Classroom to receive their homework. Please complete your homework in your homework book. AR, Freckle Maths, Oxford Reading Buddy and MyOn Reading are all being set up for the new year and will be active soon.
🌎 Diversity 🌍
In Term 1A we will also learn about aspects of Hinduism and the Festival of Diwali.
