Defending Democracy

This week we started our new topic, Defending Democracy, and we learnt about the Suffragettes and Suffragists. Mrs Rasul played a trick on us and told us we can vote for our next P.E. topic, but then said only the girls could vote.  The boys were confused and a little angry and this is how our topic started. We worked in pairs to research information about the 2 groups and made a comparison table. It was interesting to learn about some of the methods they used to get women the right to vote.

Discursive writing

We started our writing block on discursive writing and started by writing about whether or not Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) was guilty or innocent for what he did to the giant. We looked at different sentence openers and using quotes from ‘experts’. This was a fun piece of writing.

Angles in triangles

For maths we learned how to calculate missing angles in triangles. We looked at:

• Right angle triangles
• Scalene triangles
• Equilateral triangles
• isosceles triangles.

What a busy week in Primary 7b!
