P7B Term One – 20/09/19

In P7B we have started our class novel Wonder. It’s about a 10 year old boy who has Treacher Collins Syndrome (TCS) and had never been to school before. The story is about him making his journey through 5th grade,his first year in a real school. We have are own Wonder booklets with all the activities we’ve done a visualisation task where we had to draw what we thought August would look like.

In writing we wrote about if we were president for the day.To help with our writing we researched about current laws and debates to do with America and what we would do about them for our talk homework. We also had to write in first person and use paragraphs to meet our success criteria.

In P7B, we have had an open afternoon, it is when your parents and guardians come and see your new classroom. On our afternoon, we were making a leaflet about landmarks in the USA and Scotland. We got a sheet of a landmark either from Scotland or the USA and highlighted useful facts. After that, we wrote the name of the landmark, drew a picture of it and wrote down the facts. At the end, our teacher Miss kelly, stuck all the Scotland leaflets together on a black piece of card and folded it into a leaflet and she did the same with the USA.
