In P7F, we have been researching a famous Scot because we will be delivering a solo talk on them on St Andrews Day (Tuesday 30th November). We began our research and preparations in class and are looking forward to delivering the talks on Tuesday! We are now going to practice our talks at home so we can deliver them confidently.

This week in maths we have focused on 2D shapes and tiling. We used shapes to draw some overlapping tiling patterns with Mrs Barclay and used some ICT to create bold tiling patterns too. We have also been learning about the different types of triangles and what quadrilaterals were. Test us at home!

In literacy, we done some outdoor spelling activities which we really enjoyed. We also started our new class novel called “Carrie’s War” and made some predictions about the book. The book is set during World War II and we are interested to find out more about the terrible thing that Carrie does…

We have also finished our first draft of our Kelpies story. We used lots of imagery, dialogue and each gave our stories a happy ending, sad ending or a cliff-hanger. Next week we are going to type them up and may be able to share some examples with you! We’re really proud of our work.

 

In topic, we used some primary sources to learn about how Britain prepared for the potential gas attacks and watched a real advert made by the government at the time encouraging people to wear them. We thought the masks looked quite frightening! We are also in the middle of making our own gas masks which we may use for a project later on in the topic…

Here are our posters about the military leaders in World War II that we made last week. We hope you like them!
