We have been learning how to make podcasts. We have been linking this to our work on body systems and the brain and we have been thinking about how to protect and look after our brains.
In our podcasts we try to speak clearly and not too fast with lots of good expression to make our podcast interesting to our audience. Please listen to our podcasts and tell us what you think.

In class we have been looking at newspapers and highlighting facts and opinions and it has been a lot of fun. We sometimes highlighted big chuckes for opinions and then when we finished doing our highlighting we filled in some questions. For our homework we did tables square to fill in but the fun part we got to pick out a news paper story and bullet point facts.
We have also been doing are rights and responsibilities as a child here are a few examples.
You have a right to a shelter house. You have to respect that.
You have a right for a good education. You have to not waste it.
You have a right to stay with your mum and dad. You have to appreciate them.
You have a right not to be forced to join the army. You have to stay out of situations with the army.
In maths we have been doing dividing I am proud of my self because I tried my best in maths.
In art we have been doing printing and Mrs Harrison and Mrs Finne both showed us a way to print (not from a printer)
We have done democracy and debates.
Mr Kerr from the uk parliament came to see and told us what he did.
Mrs Grahame came and told us what she did she did a lot to do with the railway and animals she has a big compassion for animals she has a cat Mr smokey.

We looked at the E’s and Os we are going to be covering for topic next block. In groups we had to think about:
I can find out how a sensory organ is made up and what it does, and how the organ responds to outside conditions.
What do we already know?
keep you alive, heart, lungs, kidneys, stomach, spinal cord, heart pumps your blood, our lungs help us breathe, our skin is an organ, most of them are in our stomach
What do we need to learn?
which sensory organs we need to be safe, where in the body are they, what is a sensory organ, how will our organs react to illness/body conditions, how is a sensory organ made up, what do they do, how do they respond to outside conidtions, how does the body work
How are we going to do this?
make posters, drama interviewing the organs, diagrams, play games, visitors -doctor/body experts, make a book
Why are we learning this?
to keep our body healthy, to help us in our future in case we get a disease, because we are growing up, so we can look after ourselves, so we know how to be healthy in the future/when we’re older
P7 have been designing games using BBC Mixital on GLOW. We researched what makes a good game, designed games for our target audience, then spent time collaborating, sharing and creating our games using the online software. Today P4A came to try P7A’s games. They were great reviewers and gave us positive feedback to work on.
Have you ever wondered how buildings cope with the forces that hit them?
We have been learning about natural disasters and looked at how architects use shapes to help create stronger structures. We learned that rectangles are not good shapes for structures and that triangles are used a lot to make a building stronger. We also learned how the arc of a bridge spreads the weight across the bridge making it stronger than a rectangular flat bridge. We tried some experiments with playing cards to see if we could build structures. It was impossible with rectangular structures but some of us managed to make triangular structures.

We worked in groups to think about our next topic and thought about the following:
I can find out about some body systems and the problems that may develop and I can make informed decisions to keep myself healthy.
We decided our key learning should be:
What do we already know?
I can find out about how is a sensory organ is made up and what it does and how the organ responds to outside conditions.
We decided our key learning should be:
What do we already know?
We want to find out about?
How we want to do this?
Democracy is a government ruled by the people ,so the people can vote for who and what they want.
