This week Primary 7 have been doing lots of learning. For our IDL, which is Space, we have been making 3d planets with paper mache. For RME we have been lerning about philanthropy. In German we have written a letter to a pen pal and have been practising all our german vocabulary from Primary 6. For Health and Wellbeing, we have been working on our ball skills, and athletics. In literacy we have been doing inferencing, using our novel “Clockwork”, by Philip Pullman. For Taught Writing we have written an informative report about when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. As well as this we wrote acrostic poems of our planets. My planet is Neptune. We had to write around about a paragraph for each letter. After we had written it in our jotters we had to re draft it onto a A4 piece of paper. For homework we also had to make lunar calendar/cycle. I did mine for September 2013. So far it has been right.
Paper mache planets is always popular with classes doing space. Very messy, but fun. Space is a great IDL topic.
