We are all very happy to be back in school and in  a more normal routine. Coming back after lockdown has been great. We did a lot in the two weeks we had before our Easter holiday. We really needed the break as we had worked very hard. It is our last term in St Cadoc’s which we can’t believe. We have a lot to look forward to but know we have a lot of work to fit in and things to do to help us prepare to move on to high school. So far this term we have been spending a lot of time working on our Maths and Comprehension skills. Our comprehension skills have really improved because we have been reading a lot and we have been thinking about the different types of questions that we could be asked. We now know how to answer understanding, analysis and evaluative questions. We all have different areas of strength and weaknesses in Maths so we have been working together and helping our partners with different concepts like fractions, percentages, angles and algebra. Our writing focus has been poetry and also writing a balanced argument. The big debate was whether homework should be banned or not. There were lots of amazing arguments presented for both sides. It was our first time back in the forest this week. The rain was not the best but we still had fun. We tidied up the forest by collecting the rubbish and then we worked in groups to create a new design of the forest. We thought about how we could create little areas for people to enjoy. Some of us added in a tree house or a seating area. We used the waterfall as the calming area for people to relax and unwind next to. We had to work well together and draw on our different skills and talents. Our time in the forest ended with a big game of hide and seek. Even in P7 we still absolutely love it!
