Primary 7 Home Learning15th June

Hello P7, the final 2 weeks are upon us. It was lovely to catch up with some of you on Microsoft Teams this week. Please don’t worry if you weren’t able to join, everything we share and discuss is also available on learning journals and the website. Keep checking Portobello High School’s website for updates on transition as they are working hard on getting you ready for High School. Over the next fortnight, we ask that you prioritise the transition to high school activities. Use the checklist to help you keep track of what you have completed and what

you still need to do. If you have any questions please get in touch.TRANSITION TO HIGH SCHOOL CHECKLIST

READING

As always, please make sure that you are continuing with your own personal reading. It’s been really good to see the number of people who are taking online quizzes on Accelerated Reader to follow up on books that they have read.

The link for Accelerated Reader is https://ukhosted70.renlearn.co.uk/6984762

PERSONAL RESEARCH

Feel free to continue with your independent research mini-topic of Around The World. This is a chance for you to use your skills to find out details and explore a place of your choosing. It’s been great to read about the wide variety of things that people have researched so far! Remember, there’s a grid of ideas for you to use on Learning Journals from two weeks ago.
