This week in Science with Mr Wilson we made models of wind turbines that we had designed.

We continued our work on discrimination and civil rights looking at the Bristol Bus Boycott and the debate around statues.

We also had some fun in the woodland on Friday, featuring dance moves, building and attempted tree climbing.

We’ve had a very busy week in P7. A trip to Newton Mearns Baptist Church for Easter Code on Monday, designing windmills with Mr Wilson on Tuesday, Eastwood P.E and then the Lord Provost debate on Thursday, and making chain reaction machines for STEM week on Friday.

Here’s some photos from our trip:

This week has been World Book Day (a whole week at Crookfur!)

We were inspired by Grand Designs to create some new designs for the ultimate book corner.

We visited the P2s and read them the books that we wrote and illustrated.

We did a live lesson from the Literacy Trust and Premier League. We answered book and football questions.

We all got to visit the Crookfur Book swap and get a new (second hand) book.

We used iMovie on the iPads to create videos of us reading our books. Some people tried to make some tie in games on Scratch.

At the woodland this morning we re-created some scenes from books. Can you guess what the books are?

Maths

In maths we were learning about volume. Volume is the space an object takes up. We did an activity with Kapla. We got into partners and tried to make shapes like cubes and cuboids. We had to estimate the volume then our partner would measure it to see how close we were.

Literacy

In literacy we did a Martin Luther King comprehension and we focused on his I have a dream speech. We got a copy of his speech and highlighted all of the powerful vocabulary and statements.

We also continued work on our children’s books for World Book Day. 

PE

In PE we went to Eastwood to have netball or rugby/football tournaments. We were split into teams and we played 5 games and the team with the most points in the end went to the finals. 

This morning in PE went out into the muga and played a new game. There are two teams and there is a line down the middle. There is a ball in play and the team with the ball is trying to throw the ball over the line. If the ball hits the ground the nearest player to the ball is out.
