First week back after the October week sure has been a busy one! This week we focussed on a sales task for our Apprentice topic. We had the challenge of selling biscuits for tokens. We had to:
Friday was day of selling and we set up our stalls then opened for business. Primary 7C came to buy from us and we went shopping in Primary 7A. It was so much fun!
We watched the short clip on Literacy shed called Alma and have completed many activities on this. For the last 2 weeks we have been exploring the character of Alma. Her appearance, her actions, her thoughts and her feelings. We explored the definitions of the words:
Then linked these to Alma and how she represented each one in the short movie. We then went on to write our very own character descriptions based on Alma.
Tim Burton
We made some lovely masterpieces inspired by Tim Burton. We linked this to our Alma project by creating doll portraits from the clip Alma. We used charcoal and created shadows and highlight on the faces. These turned out amazing!
Another busy week in Primary 7! This week we had an exciting day on Thursday in which we took part in the Climate Ready Classrooms workshop along with many other schools. This involved watching live lessons to learn about biodiversity, habitats and ecosystems and how these are being affected by humans and climate change. We took part in a series of tasks which helped us understand better the effects of climate change and how we contribute towards it. We ended the day by writing up action plans on how we plan to make our classroom and school more climate friendly. We have yet to finalise our main actions but here are some ideas that we came up with:
Have a look at some of the pictures from that day.
