Hello and welcome to our second blog of P7.\u00a0 We have worked incredibly hard since we last blogged and are having lots of fun.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We had the opportunity to meet our P2 Buddies. This was great. We were all very excited and we are looking forward to spending more time with them and supporting them throughout the year.\u00a0 We wrote our buddies a letter to tell them a bit about ourselves and ask them some questions.\u00a0 We will share our letters with them the next time we see them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In literacy we have started our Novel study The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and we are currently learning about what life was like in the past during World War Two and the Holocaust.\u00a0 So far we have been introduced to the main character in the book, a 9 year old boy called Bruno who has moved away from his lovely home in Berlin with his family because of his father’s job. Bruno doesn’t know where he is and doesn’t like the place very much and doesn’t seem to know that there is a war going on.\u00a0 We have started to learn about characterisations and are gathering evidence on how the author, John Boyne develops his characters.<\/p>\n In Numeracy we have further developed our understanding of fractions, decimals and percentages, data handling, rounding numbers, properties of 2D and 3D shapes, calculating the volume of shapes and we have been learning to solve problems using the Act if Out stratgegy.<\/p>\n As part of our Rights Repecting Schools topic and have been learning about equality and equity and about Global Goals.\u00a0 We have been thinking about the issues we face and are aiming to make small changes in our lives in order to make a difference.<\/p>\n We took part in the sponsored cycle to Bangalore and our class managed an impressive 481 laps in just 30 minutes!<\/p>\n Cannon Eddie came into school and we had a lovely service with him together as a year group.\u00a0 This was the first time we have been able to get together as a year group for over a year and a half and is was very special. We were all able to go to Confession with Cannon Eddie afterwards.<\/p>\n Last Thursday we were delighted to be able to walk to St.Cadoc’s Church to celebrate Mass for the feast of St.Cadoc. We had a fantastic day of celebration which ended with a talent show. Mrs Costello was very impressed with all of our unique talents.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello and welcome to our second blog of P7.\u00a0 We have worked incredibly hard since we last blogged and are having lots of fun.
