We have been very busy in P7a. We have been learning lots of different things. In PE we have been working on the different skills needed to play basketball. During outdoor learning time we have been visiting the upper part of the forest where we have been learning to abseil and climb up a steep slope with confidence. We also had to work as a team to build a bridge to get us across the river. We have been focusing on two different genres for writing, functional writing and poetry. We created two poems. One was about Guy Fawkes night and the other was about autumn. We created some colourful art to display with our poems. The two functional pieces we have done are a letter to our local MP and instructions on how to wrap a present. In Maths, we have been looking at 3D shape and we have just started to look at algebra. We are learning to collect like terms and simplify equations. Recently, we have started our topic about World War 2 and we have learned about the outbreak of war. We also finished our previous topic about the United States of America. Most of us have created and presented a presentation about this to our class.
