We have had a good couple of weeks in p7B.

Last week we had a lady come on Tuesday and Thursday to tell us about tobacco and the dangers of it. On Thursday she brought a friend in and her name was Smokey Sue. She was a doll and showed us how smoking affects your lungs and body.  One cigarette turned her lungs yellow and it looked disgusting!

Yesterday we watched the schools senior choir perform their interpretation of the Jungle Book.

“It was really exciting to watch (because we got out of class and didn’t have to do work!”~RyrieJ

During the week we were working on our lunar theme parks. This taught us about budget and profit and loss.  The class really enjoyed designing our own theme park.  We had a budget of £500,000 pounds to spend on our parks.  This was to buy things including major rides, minor rides, cafes, shops, path ways & toilets. We then had to work out our outgoing and incoming costs to work out our total profit.  We really enjoyed this task!

We also learned about the reasons why animals are endangered and wrote persuasive letters to the government to build more conservation areas.  We then designed our own conservation parks.   We had to consider each animals’’ needs including their habitat, diet and size.  We designed our parks to scale and calculated the area and perimeter of each animal’s enclosure.

We are looking forward to our last week at Balbardie next week!
