Today we took advantage of it being Sports Week and made the most of the good weather…some of us enjoyed the opportunity to pose with our friends!

This afternoon the weather cleared just enough to let us do our ‘Trim Trail Challenge’ before we learned more about substance misuse/ drug awareness.

Please remember to wear a jacket as the weather this week may not be great!

P6/7b had a busy day today, working on division and comprehension.  We enjoyed interviewing our visitor from South Africa and learning more about ‘The Rainbow Nation, inspired by  yesterday’s discussions on Desmond Tutu and his campaign against apartheid.  The weather cleared for us to get out and run in different styles in the afternoon.  Next week we will need to wear our school polo shirts and joggers to participate in ‘Sports Week.’

Today in RME we started learning about a world famous leader who tackled apartheid in South Africa through preaching forgiveness, love and peace.  Desmond Tutu’s famous speech about the Rainbow People of God inspired us to create some posters.  In maths we are working on mixed numbers and different types of fractions.

Today in literacy we were working on our handwriting, VCOP,  dictionary definitions and spelling.  We also did some dictation and punctuation.  In health and well-being we discussed things that are legal and illegal for us to do at our age.

This week marks Mental Health Week. We continued our discussions on substance misuse and identified reasons why people may think that they need drugs to make them feel good. We thought about other things that we would prefer to do to help us feel happy naturally.

Today we examined and considered times that made us feel good  and how different events can make us feel on top of the world.

Today we worked on adding simple fractions. We studied an animation film linked to WW2. For PE we worked on team races.
