Today we headed out for our 2nd Bikeability session. This was a challenge for us all but we had so much fun and made big improvements to our skill and confidence when riding our bikes on the roads.

 

 

 

P7B have loved all our opportunities to celebrate World Book Day the past couple of days, especially taking part in the Treasure Hunt and chatting about books with P6B.

 

P7b have been creating conflict posters about how to resolve it in a positive manner. Check out the finished product!

As a class, we have read The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne and have learned about the Holocaust and it’s causes. To showcase our learning, we worked in groups to create videos about the Holocaust using stop motion software. Check out some of our finished videos by clicking the links below.

This week in P7B, we have been talking about the importance of primary sources when learning about history. To help our understanding of the Holocaust, we have been listening to interviews given by survivors. We then used quotes from the interviews to create ‘found poems’.

Everyone did a great job. You can read them below.

 

 

Merry Christmas and happy new year when it comes! P7B have had a lovely lead up to the festive period with lots of fun and laughs along the way. See you in 2024!

 

To prepare ourselves for the festive period, P7B spent the afternoon decorating the classroom. We decorated the tree and used our STEM and art skills to create some beautiful decorations to brighten up our day! Check out some of the fantastic results!

 

Today, the whole year group participated in a debate as part of our ‘Make your Mark’ achievements. We debated the motion ‘parents should carry out daily checks of the phones of children aged 15 and under.’ P7a argued for the proposition, and P7B the opposition. The arguments prepared by the two teams were excellent, and our reporters did a fantastic job of summarising the points made so that our audience could make a clear decision on the winners. Congratulations to P7a for winning this great debate!

 

Thank you to Rachel from ActiveSchools for coming in the past couple of weeks to lead P7 in Playzone Training. We had a great time competing team building tasks then planning and teaching our own games that we take away and use when performing our role as P1 buddies!

Thank you to the St Luke’s pupils and staff who came today to teach us the first of our dances in preparation for the Cluster Ceilidh that we will be attending with St Johns and St Thomas’. We had a great time learning the steps and dancing with our friends.
