Last week the school purchased some brand new Ipads. Mr Smith is organising a
Media Master group for p6 and p7. These people have the job of looking after the Ipads and to erase the history. They will be trained how to use them correctly by Mr Smith and will then help younger classes.
The class completed charcoal symmetry portaits of key WWII figures. Here are Dylan,Ethan and Taylor with their potraits of Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler.
In class we have been learning about currencies. Some currencies we have been learning the Dollar,euro,USD and the Mexican Peso. Today we played different active maths games to help us learn more about this subject.
Adam – My favourite game is the pairs game where we had to match amounts in British pound to foreign currencies.
Blair – My favourite game is the travelagents board game where we had to go on the ipods and look at the latest currencies in real life.
Blue – p229-284
Red – p210-272
In class we have been studying famous people in World War 2. So far we have looked at Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill and Adolf Hitler. Today we started creating charcoal drawings of these people that we hope turn out well. So far so good!
Dean brought in artefacts from the war belonging to his Great Uncle. It was great to look at real artefacts.
