P7

We are now coming to the end of our topic but so far we have done a lot. We have made our sad soldier art. In the sad soldier art we basically drew our sad soldier then got different shades of green tissue paper along with some brown and covered the background of the soldier with it. it looks really cool. We then made our propaganda posters which were actually loads of fun to make because we got to do little slogans like fight for your county or fight for freedom join now, stuff like that. Next we did our blitz pictures and to do this we used black paper, paint or crayon. This one looked really cool and stood out great. We learned lots of facts as well and the World War Two topic has been great to do.

Primary 7 have been working with the primary 2s to take part in paired reading. This has been a good experience for us and we have completely enjoyed it. We have listened to the primary 2s reading and have created games and activities for the children to take part in.

Codi- We read the book first and then we started to look at the words and take part in activities.

Jack- I used play dough with my reading partner to make her spelling words.

Gregor- I work with Alfie and he enjoys all the tasks I do with him.

Hannah- Charlotte is a very nice reader we have been doing two parts sentences wither her common words.

Bethany w- we done some fun spelling and reading

Orla- we used the playdogh to do our spelling

We make tasks up for them to do we try and find what words they find tricky and help them find a way to work it out

Over all I think we all really enjoy working with the p2 and are all hoping to do this for as long as we can.

This week we have been celebrating Robert Burns throughout a variety of activities. We have worked on Tam O’Shanter in literacy in order to understand the poem and try to work out the Scottish words.

Gregor-I read verse 3,4,15 and 16 of Tam O Shanter. Verse 3 and 4 is about A man called Tam went out to the bar to have a pint not listening to his wife Kates advice because there was a storm brewing and he got drunk and shouted at some people who then chased him. Verse 15 and 16 i figured out some translations e.g: The piper louder and louder blew the dancers quicker and quicker flew( The pipers pipes got louder and louder as the dancers danced quicker and quicker.) Now Tam O Tam had thae been queens A plump and strapping in their teens( Now Tam O Tam will they ever be queens now all plump and gloomy in their teens.) Thir breeks o mine ma only pair that once were plush o gude blue hair (Those trousers of mine my only clean pair that once were rich blue in colur like fresh dyed blue hair.)

In PE we have been doing hand ball. I like to do this for PE because it is very competitive and I like working in a team.

We’ve also been doing more health and we are looking at what it means to do green exercise. All this means is to do exercise outside, like going on the trampoline or riding a bike.
