Well, we are nearly at the finishing line for this term. It’s been fun and we’ve also managed to learn a few things along the way.

We are continuing with our Faith Journey by completing a variety of tasks for the Pope Francis Faith Award. Abdul, “I made two new friends because we were asked to play with people outside our friendship group.”

We enjoyed our topic on WW2: The Home Front. It was really interesting learning about what it was like when Mr McLaughlin was a wee boy! We heard first hand accounts from Evacuees and survivors of the Clydebank Blitz. We created posters and fact files which we shared with pupils from P6.

Raul, “I enjoyed drawing a picture of a Spitfire when we were finding out about The Battle of Britain.”

Anthony, “I really liked creating a Propaganda poster. Mine’s was a ‘Careless Talk Cost Lives’ one.”

Daniel, “I liked watching clips because I learned what it would be like to live back then.”

We have been finding out about the link between fractions, decimals and percentages as well as integers and negative numbers. It was a blast! Ahmad, “I feel really confident and proud and I understand it!”

The highlight for many was the visit to Sky Studios. We did lots of prep beforehand; even wrote a balanced debate on the subject… Should Children be Given Access to Social Media? We requested roles and (almost) everyone was given a role they wanted. We planned senes, wrote scripts and worked out camera shots. The day itself was very busy, but loads of fun and we all agreed it was a fantastic day out!

Brendan, “We all worked as ateam and I learnt that it’s about everyone who takes part.”

Chaz, “I was a Producer and I liked being able to decide what outfits the presenters wore.”

Eilidh, “Although we were in four different groups, we were all aiming to create something together.”

Next stop… Christmas, then ‘ Old Clathes and Porridge’…
