Thursday Fun !

  Last week we had an interesting dance lesson inside our classroom! We learned how to expressive dance, by responding to a piece of music which made us feel sad and happy. We worked with a partner to create a dance which showed these emotions and also included a walk, jump and roll ! It was funny dancing inside our classroom but we had a great time!

The Iron Man

Things get chilly in p7

Throughout our topic we found out that Climate change could heat up the Earth and cause huge floods. We like to make sure what we’re reading makes sense so we set up an experiment and wrote up our reports to show what we did: Each group created a mini version of somewhere on Earth – Lyla’s group did a tropical island and Chloe’s group did Glasgow. Then we added our
