The Stewards of Creation showed the school how much food the school is wasting, by dumping it on tarpaulin and the amount of food was huge. They even told us that if they put the amount of food we wasted for a month on the ground it would fill the whole playground.
The Head of the Maths Department in St Luke’s, Mr Berry, Came to P7b to teach us about fractions and different methods to add and subtract fractions. He also brought the Deputy Head Boy at St Luke’s ,Thomas, to help him out.

This was tied to our topic of WWll. Dr Saqqib was talking about the British Indian Army and the different medals the men in the army achieved through their determination and bravery, She also was on the BBC Road Antiques show to find out the worth of the Victoria Cross Medal. (Highest award given to the military in WWll and WWl) It was worth about £250,000. Everyone was very interested and loved this meeting with Dr Saqqib.
Our final experiment involved observing how our design changed when water was added to it. We found that it was better to add droplets of water quickly rather than wait between each drop for better results.
As part of our topic, we discussed primary and secondary sources. We then had a go at identifying primary and secondary sources ourselves!

P7B have been learning about our topic: misinformation, we have done some fun lessons learning about how misinformation was created in history.
