Week beginning 6.3.17

This week in p7B we were focusing on our World War 2 context for learning especially the home guard. We learned what their purpose was to defend their local area.  Originally they didn’t have proper guns they had wooden replicas until America sent guns over, but unfortunately we had the wrong kind of ammo.

On Monday we took part in a drama work shop where we were spilt into groups and were all assigned tasks.  Our drama was performed in front of the p5s as well as parent/carers.  This taught people how to stay safe on the internet.

On Thursday Emma Davidson and Viggo Savage took part in a rotary quiz to represent Balbardie and they placed 4^th. we are all very proud of them .

Have a nice weekend!

Week beginning 13.3.17

This week in P7b we have been putting lots of effort into our assembly practice and we have been working hard to perfect it. Our assembly will be on the 17^th of March at 9:10 am and we are very excited to show you. We hope you will enjoy it and learn loads, you can also join us for a nice tea and coffee, maybe a biscuit have a chat with your child too!!!

In writing we wrote an assessment piece. It was an imaginative story. The teacher gave us a topic- it had to be war related- we all quite enjoy writing (for the first time J.) We hope the teacher thinks they are impressive and at a good standard for going up to S1.

In topic we are learning about WWII and what it was like (It sounds tragic.) We started learning about Evacuation and The Blitz. We found out that Blitz was German for Blitzkreig which means Lightning War. Children had to take their gas mask, some clothes and some memories from their house.  They got a train out to the country and they lived with strangers if they didn’t have any relatives to go and lived with. Children may have enjoyed it because the cities were obvious places that the Germans would bomb.  During the nights of the Blitz everyone got next to no sleep because of the sirens and they had to run to the Anderson Shelter or their Morrison Shelter. London was attacked for 57 consecutive nights. Anyway that’s enough about the war!
