In writing we describe a setting of our choice. For example, most of the class wrote about a Fortnite map.

In literacy we did comprehension questions from the poem “The Brook” and the questions were really hard! We also did spelling in our booklet on Monday!

In maths we tried out a new way of chimney sums and it was hard to learn it but then once you got the hang of it, it was simple enough.

In P.E on Thursday we went over to Eastwood High School to do our P.E. There were S6/S5 students (the sports ambassadors) where teaching us a sports lesson. The whole of P7 was at Eastwood High School so they split us into groups.

For STEM we were making bridges and marble runs and towers with Kapla. The challenges were to make a bridge made only from Kapla, a tower from just 50 bricks, and a marble run to move a marble 1 metre. 

In the Apprentice we were making a still ad and a TV ad for a company called “No Bovver Hoverboard” . It was really fun and I think everyone enjoyed it! We made our TV ad with iMovie on the iPads and filmed them in the school!

This week has been Maths week.

On Monday we learnt about calculating speed of objects. After lunch we all went outside in groups to calculate how fast we can do different things like: Rolling a basketball, throwing a tennis ball, running down the track and hula hooping.

On Wednesday we had S6 from Eastwood high come to teach us about the Milky Way. We also got sweet’s when we answered a question.

On Thursday we made a marble run with Kapla. My group made some drops and when we had to make giant walls when we had a big run down a path.

On Friday we all made paper aeroplanes to see who had the one that went the furthest. Then we threw it again then calculated what speed it went.
