In P7F we have been learning about feelings and worries. To start this, we read a book called the Huge Bag of Worries. Its about a girl called Jenny. Jenny has a lot to worry about. Wherever she goes a huge bag of worries always follows her. She asks her parents, older brother and her best friend but their ideas do not work. However when she meets a kind old lady, she decides that Jenny’s worries should be shown to the light of day. What this means is to let someone know about your worries. They can help you out. If you have a worry let someone know and sometime’s some worries are not yours. They belong to somebody else. For example you might worry that your parents might lose their job. But it’s not really your worry that they might lose their job because it’s their job, not yours.
Here’s how we did it:
1.Mr. Flett told us to write our worry on a sticky note and NOT put our names on it.
2.This way there’s less chance that someone could make fun of you for worrying about it.
3.Then we all sat in a circle.
4.Next Mr. Flett took out a worry and read it out to us.
5.Then an object (such as a ball) would be passed around.
6.Anyone who has some advice to say about the worry will have the ball and they will say their advice. Nobody should know who’s worry it was unless they’re the person who wrote it.
We would do at least 2 or 3 worries in each community circle. The idea of this activity is to help someone feel better and let them know that their worry maybe isn’t such a big worry after all.
Our class target is to build each other up and respect. Every day Mr Flett gives us a score from 1-10 of how good we have done. When we have achieved 50 points we get an award. So far we have achieved 2 and we have to get 1 more point to achieve 3. Our first reward was extra break time and our second award was donuts. It was sooooo yummy!
Our class novel, GOODNIGHT MISTER TOM features a boy called Willie Beech and a man called Tom Oakley. Willie is from London and he used to stay with his horrid mother. At the start of the book Willie comes to the village were Mr Oakley lives, Little Weirwold. Willie is forced to stay with Mr Oakley and then they become friends.
Later on in the book Willie is in the post office and he sees a peculiar boy called Zach. Willie had never seen a boy who was so elegant. He sounded really posh and well educated. Zach wrote a postcard to his mother and he wanted to fit in all of what he wanted to say onto the postcard so he used a magnifying glass so he could write as much on the page as possible (so his writing was really really small!)
We had a go at trying to write the way Zach did (including using a magnifying glass!). Have a look at our postcards… and good luck reading them.
In class we have been doing WWII E-books in partners. Our E-books are a sort of timeline of WWII, most of our information is in chronological order. Here are some of the topics we included in our E-books so far.
Beginning of WWII
How did it start?
Allies and Axes
Hitler
Rationing
Bombs
Shelter (Anderson and Morrison)
Gas masks
We are having lots of fun doing these E-books with each other.
Have a look at some of the fantastic pages we have made so far!
On the 30th of January 2017 the Primary fours to sevens had a second achievement assembly for people who had a big achievement to be celebrated. There was four people from p7F who got achievements. Their names are Oliver, Uma, Isobel and Cerys. Oliver and Uma had the same achievement. Isobel and Cerys had the same achievement too. Oliver and Uma went to the Rotary quiz and they were in the same team. The team worked hard together and we came second. When we were at the assembly we got called up and got a Rotary certificate from the Rotary and one at the assembly. Isobel and Cerys got gold certificates off of Mathletics because they have been working hard and going on it week after week to keep on getting certificates. You need five bronze certificates to get a silver. You can get four silver to get a gold. That’s how Isobel and Cerys won their gold certificates. Go onto the Mathletics post to see the gold certificates they won!
In P7F we have been looking at graphic novels and comics. We looked at the style they were written in and tried to make our own storyboards. Each one of our storyboards were unique and fabulous. to make your own storyboard here is how to make it:
What you will need:
Scrap paper
Pencil
Rubber
Color pens or pencils
Ruler
Backing paper (any color and make it slightly bigger than the actual thick piece of card)
Thick A3 piece of card
Instructions
First plan out your storyboard and make sure you use a ruler to make the boxes straight and regular.
Secondly plan out what is going to be in each box.
Once you are happy with your draft you can then go and make your real copy
Take your thick piece of card and draw the boxes onto the card and remember to use a ruler.
Next draw in your pictures using different types of shots. To see the different type of shots go to the bottom of the page. You can also add speech bubbles
Now color in your pictures.
Lastly stick your thick card to the backing paper. Ta Da !!
Different shots:
Wide shot- this is the shot that shows the whole scenery.
Close shot- this shot shows only the character’s face
Extremely close shot- this shot only shows the character’s eyes.
Hello and welcome to our P7 class blog. We will use this to keep parents, carers and grandparents informed about what we get up to in the classroom. We will also use it to give the pupils an authentic audience for their work! Please check back often and leave us a comment…. we love comments! We look forward to hearing from you!
