Over the past few weeks our class has been taking part in a course called bikeability. The S5s and S6s from Chryston high school are teaching us how to check our bike and ride with confidence.
We are really enjoying learning about WW2. We have found out about the Blitz, Evacuation, blackouts and Anderson shelters. Last Friday we had a pretend air raid exercise. The air raid siren went off and we hid under our tables like they were Anderson shelters. An Anderson shelter was a safe place to hide when the German bomber planes were overhead and dropping bombs on Britain. We did it again and we went outside and hid under the benches.
Miss Wallace’s grandad (Mr Smith) came into our class to tell us about WW2. It was very interesting to hear about WW2 from someone who was our age when WW2 was happening. He told us all about his experience of WW2 and he showed us his gas mask, ID card and ration book.
Finally Caoimhe, Coral and Violet played their respective instruments in class to us all. Caoimhe and Violet play the trombone and Coral plays the trumpet. The three of them sound amazing and we hope to hear them again.

You have done some really interesting work on WW2. What an amazing opportunity to hear from someone who experienced it at the time.
You have certainly been very busy in Primary 7. You seem to have been learning lots of interesting information about WW2 and how good is it to have talented musicians in your class that can share their interest with everyone.
