This week we have been doing our presentations on plastic pollution in the ocean. It was fun but at the same time nerve racking. Most of the plastic in the ocean is in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which is three times the size of France. We spoke about the sources of the problems and the solutions to try and clean up the ocean.

Last night the P7s in our cluster got to go on a tour of Eastwood High School. We got a tour round the sports centre and the different classrooms. It was really fun because we got to see lots of different departments and it got us all very excited about going to high school.

In maths this week Pythagoras have just finished Speed, Distance and Time it was good but a bit tricky when working out word problems. We are remembering the triangle!

In maths this week Euler have been working on percentages with Mrs Fry this ties in with our Decimals and fractions work, we are finding it very fun.

We started reading our new class reader called Think Me Back, it’s a historical fiction book all about WWII and ghosts. It’s a very good book so far. It is about a boy called Pete, he moved to Clydebank and lives next door to a house which was bombed. We are looking forward to finding out what happens.

We got the James Dyson engineering boxes and have been finding out about different engineers, their jobs and how they became an engineer. We are going to be disassembling a DC39 hoover and then trying to reassemble it. We can’t wait!!
