On Thursday the 5th of March we learnt about the enigma code. We learnt how Germans used this secret code to communicate with each other and how Britain and Poland tried to solve this code using machines.
We had to figure out the enigma code and tried to work out the message. The we had to make up our own code for our friends and our teacher and had to write a secret message.

On Thursday, we did research for our own V-E day party. we did the research because we didn’t know what they would have had in World War 2.
We wanted to know what sweets, drinks, music and clothes we all found out a lot of stuff like Amy found out that the v sign (peace sign) you make with your fingers actually came from World War 2 because Winston Churchill was making a speech and and V stands for Victory.
Last week we learned about French animals:
Le cheval is a horse
Le lapin is a rabbit
Le chat is a cat
Le chien is a dog
Le serpent is a snake
Le poisson is a fish
Le tortue is a turtle
Le hamster and
Le cochon d’inde is a guinea pig

On Wednesday the 25th of February the P7s went to Scalloway School to see a Road Safety Play. We thought it was good and we learned alot about road safety.
It was just Tingwall, Hamnavoe and Scalloway.
The play was about 4 P7s some of which were bad around the road, some of them were good. It was good because all the details stick in your mind as it was funny.
It was very enjoyable and we would go again if we had a chance.

On the 5th of march we moved round 6 mental maths stations with different maths games: fraction flashcards, Skoolbo on the laptops, testing each other at our times tables, maths fans, times table loop cards and maths snap.
My table started with the fraction flashcards. 🙂

Ella and Maisie brought in their Great Grandfather’s medals that he got during World War Two
.
It was great to get to see real medals that we could hold and touch – Primary Sources. 2 of the medals they brought in were called:
We decided to learn more about WW2 medals and found out why certain colours were used in different ribbons, and what people would have got these medals for.
We learned that the 1939-1945 Star had a dark blue stripe to represent the Navy, a red stripe to represent the Army and a light blue stripe to represent the Air Forces.
We learned that the Atlantic Star had stripes of blue, white and green to represent the Atlantic Ocean.
We designed our own medals for different awards and chose our ribbon colours very carefully:
David created a medal for “Espionage”
Erin created a medal for the Miners. The browns and blacks represent the ground and the coal.
Maisie created a medal called “The Shetland Star” for any Shetlander who fought in the war. The blue represents the sea and the green represents the grass.
We watched a video about a polish child called Gabriel that lived in the UK but his mother’s side was from Poland. In school he gets special lessons with his little sister and bigger sister in Polish. They learn how to sing dance and write in polish. He preforms polish dances infront of his family and others. Some times he goes to Poland to vist his 2nd country.
As part of Blogging Bootcamp Week 2. We were challenged to write a biopoem. We all wrote an individual poem each and then together wrote one about our class.
