Climate Change and Global Warming
Today in Reading for Information we developed our note-taking skills by watching a clip from the National Geographic on Climate Change and Global Warming.
We found out that if we don’t change our behaviour, attitude and actions towards the world soon, the world will continue to deteriorate at a rapid rate.
YOUR HOMEWORK TASK: FOR TOMORROW 5th SEPTEMBER 2012
- Choose 5 things that you can do at home to lower your carbon footprint and prevent global warming.
E.G- Walking to school whenever possible.

Descriptive Weather…
Today we begun looking at descriptive language within Writer’s Craft. We read some excellent examples of how writers can describe the weather using adjectives, similes, metaphors and personification.
HOMEWORK TASK: For TOMORROW, Wednesday 22nd August
– Choose a piece of weather that interests YOU.
– Find 5 words/phrases to describe your piece of weather. TRY AND BE IMAGINATIVE. These can be adjectives, similes, metaphors or examples of personification.
Write this in your homework diary/ a piece of paper!
Here are the examples we read today:
‘It was a cold grey day in late November. The weather had changed overnight, when a backing wind brought a granite sky and a mizzling rain with it, and although it was now only a little after two o’clock in the afternoon the pallor of a winter evening seemed to have closed upon the hills, cloaking them in mist.’
‘The sunset filled the entire sky with the deep colour of rubies, setting the clouds ablaze.’
‘I wield the flail of the lashing hail
And whiten the green plains under,
And then again I dissolve it in rain,
And laugh as I pass in thunder.’
Mr.Cook, Mrs.MacLeod and Mrs.Prentice
The work begins…
REMEMBER:
Your PE KIT for tomorrow
We had our first assessment for Maths today, and it was quite tricky. It was really useful to show us what we have remembered from last year, and what we need to learn next in number work.
We also decided on what our P6/7 Agreements and Responsibilities should be within the classroom and the school. We will add these to the blog tomorrow along with our House Captains, JRSO, Pupil Council, Rising Star and ECO representatives.

1. Bring in a news article from a newspaper/online that interests YOU!
2. Bring in an umbrella for Friday (If you have one)- It’s time to get ARTY!
See you all tomorrow,
