This week we have been writing newspaper articles about the outbreak of WW2. We have been editing our work and will be ready to begin our good copies next week.

We have begun to watch the Britons at War DVD and are learning a lot of facts about the war. We are enjoying it and are looking forward to watching the next episode after we have finished writing this blog entry!!

In music we have been practising for Sign2Sing and the whole school are looking forward to wearing their scarves and singing in the great hall in February.

Burns day is on the 25th January (tomorrow) and P7 are working hard to learn their poems. We are working towards performing our poems in class before the final in the great hall on the 7th of February.

In reading we have moved up the ladder in Blooms Taxonomy and are now looking at analysing. We started reading our new class novel ‘Waiting for Anya’ and used the analysing section to compose our own questions. Some good results were achieved.

Well done to the buddies of the week: Sarah A and Daryl.

Star Writers of the Week: Naomi, Kamil and Cameron

Fact of the Week:

During the war the blackout was when people had to keep their curtains closed and keep out any light so that the German bombers could not target them.
