P7d have been working hard and learning lots of new things.  In writing we thought about the issues we face in the world today and we then wrote about 3 things we would change if we had the chance. We made good use of persuasive language and thought provoking questions throughout. We were really proud of the end results. We are currently learning about recount writing and are making good use of sentence openers and making use of the 5 senses in order to make our writing more engaging. In Numeracy we have been learning to multiply larger numbers by a single digit, to add, subtract and multiply decimal and we revised/learned many properties of quadrilaterals. We have been learning to solve problems and are getting very good at solving difficult problems.  We have learned about some famous artists including Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet and we recreated some of their famous pieces using oil pastels.  In RE we have been focusing on the weekly Gospel and trying live the Gospel values in our daily lives. We enjoyed learning about the life of St.John Paul II.    Last week we took part in our very first Bike Ability training session. We had lots of fun and learned how to stop and start safely and are all a bit more confident and are more aware of the rules of the road. Cycling is so much fun!I
