P7 Mr. McCaffery
Welcome to Primary 7
Mr McCaffery's Class
World Book Day 2025
Reading Buddies
This week, our Primary 7 pupils met their new Primary 1 reading buddies! It was wonderful to see the older children putting their reciprocal reading strategies into action - helping their buddies make predictions, summarise stories, and ask thoughtful questions about the books. A great start to a shared journey of reading and learning!
Digital Buddies
Digital Buddies: Primary 7 and Primary 2 Team Up
This term, we’ve launched our Digital Buddies with Primary 2, where our Primary 7 students are supporting the younger children in developing their digital skills. The Primary 7s enjoyed helping the Primary 2s navigate the Just2Easy platform, sharing their knowledge and fostering a sense of collaboration. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the older children to connect with the younger ones and build meaningful relationships while developing their own digital skills. We look forward to continuing this initiative throughout the term!
Reciprocal Reading
Primary 7 are enjoying diving into reciprocal reading! 🌟 They have been working together to explore texts, taking on roles as summarisers, questioners, predictors, and clarifiers. A great way to build comprehension skills and teamwork! 📚

Primary 7 showcasing their impressive dance moves in PE!
Our Primary 7s had a wonderful time blackberry picking today, taking inspiration from Seamus Heaney's famous poem Blackberry-Picking. Afterward, the children shared their reflections on the experience, discussing their feelings and observations. Together, they channelled their thoughts into a collaborative class poem— a beautiful way to capture the essence of the day!
