Easter Code
On Tuesday last week, the chaplaincy team came in for us to take part in the Easter Code workshop, alongside Room 23. We found out about some of the traditions that Christians take part in and also what Jewish people celebrate at this time of year. Some of the traditions might be that when you go to someone’s house they may greet you with washing your feet or they might serve you traditional food and drinks. It was a fun morning!
World Book Day
For World Book Day, we could come in wearing comfy clothes, pyjamas or we could dress up as our favourite book characters. We started the day off with a live ‘Footy and Booky Quiz’ where the questions were read out by authors and some famous footballers! We got to do some social DEAR time with our friends and Miss Napier brought in some biscuits for us to munch!
WW2
On Friday last week, we learned about the people who cracked Germany’s secret codes and messages during WW2 using a machine called Enigma. Winston Churchill wanted the cleverest people on the team trying to crack the code, but it wasn’t just people who were mathematicians and engineers. It was people who were good at solving puzzles like crosswords. For maths, we tried to solve Sudoku puzzles. They’re number puzzles linked to problem solving, so we’d be thinking like the code crackers! We started with a 6×6 puzzle and then tried a 9×9 puzzle if we managed it.
It’s the anniversary of the Clydebank Blitz today (13th March). We’ve learned a bit about the different Blitz locations this week and why they were targeted. We also started some artwork that we’ll finish next week.
British Science Week
We had Poppy from our class, and some other STEM leaders, do a lesson for us on Monday. We did balloon rockets and talked about actions, reactions and forces.
