Today we built a skeleton model of our sustainable city for our Mearns Masters we used Knex to build our models (Designers).

 

 

 

 

Six By Mearns

 7.28 created a restaurant called ‘Six By Mearns’. We had two groups, each with a genre of food they planned to make. 

We chose South East Asian, and Mexican food.

 

 

 

 

 

The Mexican group prepared Quesadillas, Nachos, Quorn chicken pasta, fruit salad, churros, and fried ice cream.

 

 

 

 

 

The South East Asians made moon dumpling and sushi, Herb prantha, Katsu curry, prantha, Ube Halaya and Bahulu.

 

 

WW2 Models

In December, our entire class made models of things we thought were interesting in World War Two (WW2).

Some of us made tanks…

Others Made Ships…

Some made Anderson shelters………

And the rest made planes and blimps!

We then displayed them to the rest of the school along with 7.27!

 

Christmas!

This Christmas, 7.28 have done lots of fun activities! One of our favourite was making origami snowflakes!

Underneath the snowflakes, are some balloons with string wrapped around them, stuck on with wallpaper adhesive. It may sound strange, but once it dries, you pop the balloon, and it makes a beautiful ornament!

We also made night lights by decorating tissue paper, and wrapping it around a jar. When you put a candle or light inside, it shines through the tissue paper.

 

Debating

Recently, we have been focusing on the topic of debating.

We were put into six groups, and each group was given a topic to debate with another team from 7.27.

The six topics were,

Vaccinations should be mandatory – 7.28

Eating animals is immoral – 7.27

Zoos should be banned – 7.28

The death penalty should be banned – 7.27

The use of mobile phones and personal internet devices should be banned for children under the age of 18. – 7.27

Petrol and diesel cars should be banned – 7.28

It was tied between the two classes, three each.

   WW2 Solo Talks

Recently, we were tasked to create a solo talk on different subjects to do with World War Two (WW2) such as tanks, rationing, medals, planes and guns to name a few. We then presented them to the class and gave 2 stars and a Wish after.

Climate Change and COP26

With Cop26 happening in Glasgow, we have been doing lots of research on climate change. So, we decided to write letters to Boris Johnston about our concerns. We also decided to make leaves that show how the world is heating up, and wrote what we can do to stop climate change. 🌍🌦                                     Here are the leaves that we made!

Cooking!                    

For the last 2 weeks, we have been cooking in the kitchen! Mr Aitken split us into 2 groups, the southeast Asians, and the Mexicans. For the first week, we cooked carbonara, a pasta. But we have been planning dishes and making decorations to create our own restaurant for some of the teachers!

Here is our carbonara!

And our decorations!

 

Remembrance

Last week was remembrance week. We had a remembrance service with the ministers Pauline and Joe. We were put into groups of 5 and tasked to act out a poem called ‘In Flanders Fields’.

 

For the past two weeks we have been doing solo talks on World War 2. We got to pick a topic of our choice and worked hard on them at home! Here’s a few pictures of some of us doing our solo talks:
