Hello and welcome to our blog post! We hope you enjoy reading!
On Monday morning we went to the MUGA at Eastwood to play different sports! Half the class were playing netball and the other half were playing rugby. It was really fun and energising and we all enjoyed it, though the weather was very cold! After that we did some religious education about Humanism. It was really interesting to learn about humanist beliefs and traits. Here are a few things you should know about it:
- Humanists do not believe in a god, they believe in the faith of humanity and science.
- They make decisions based on empathy and concern for human beings, animals and the earth.
- Humanism is “A joyous alternative to religions that believe in a supernatural god and life in a hereafter”.
On Tuesday, we had indoor P.E. As it was Pi day (3.14 as the date in America), it was all things pi(e)! We played lots of games using a parachute, such as Fruit Salad (but pie flavours instead), Shark Attack, games with a beanbag, and Washing Machine. It was so fun! After that, for writing, we wrote letters from our class novel Remembrance from one character to another. For maths, we used 3.14159265358979323846 from pi to make different things, such as using 3 beads, then 1 bead, then 4 beads on a pipe cleaner to make a bracelet. On squared paper, we coloured 3 boxes, then 1 box, then 4 boxes and so on to create a city! Pi day was very fun!
On Wednesday, we did maths (fractions and negative numbers) and literacy (comprehension and spelling) as usual, but for social studies we learned about rationing and the Blitz. We did different activities, such as making mind maps and creating a meal using rationed foods in our jotters. In a few weeks we will be doing some cooking!
On Thursday, we had Mrs Hutchison and did Spanish, then learnt a song from our new P7 show called ‘What’s the Crime Mr.Wolf?’ The song was called ‘The Wildest Song’. We are excited to do more! After that, we did maths, which was mixed numbers and fractions for the Numeracy Nerds.Later, we used the Chromebooks and searched up different recipes for cooking in a few weeks. Some popular choices were: Scones, Eggless Pancakes and Hot Cross Buns.
On Friday, we did maths in the morning, and we were doing some problem solving and we were learning fractions and other concepts. After break we went to assembly and watched a marvellous dance done by Miss.Lamb’s dancing group! Later, we learnt more about Remembrance and Humanism. We hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for reading! 🙂
