7b have settled in well to school and have been working hard and learning lots.  In writing, we have been focusing on imaginative writing and have been learning to engage the reader through setting the scene and making use of descriptive vocabulary.  We have started our novel study, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. All we know so far is that this book is about a nine year old boy called Bruno who is living during World War Two.

 

In Social Studies this term we have been learning about World War Two The Home Front. So far we have learned about the reasons for the war, significant world leaders at that time, the use of Propaganda and rationing.

 

 

In Numeracy we have been learning to convert between units of measure e.g. km to m to cm, calculate volume using the formula length x breadth x height, rounding numbers and calculating time durations in hours and minutes.

 

In Religious Education we have been focusing on the weekly Gospel and trying live the Gospel values in our daily lives. We enjoyed learning about The Story of Creation and have been thinking about the ways in which we can follow God.
