Welcome back to our class blog! This week has been hectic in P7.\u00a0 We have been busy learning and having fun!<\/p>\n

In Topic – we found out about rationing and used our Maths skills to work out how many pieces of clothing we could get with our coupons! We also did some wartime shopping and didn’t like the idea\u00a0 of buying powdered eggs!<\/p>\n

In Literacy – we wrote\u00a0 a letter from an evacuee home to their parents. We enjoyed putting ourselves in an evacuees shoes and thinking about how they would have felt seeing cows and sheep for the first time.<\/p>\n

In Maths – we continued to investigate Fractions<\/p>\n

In Music – we learned the wartime song ‘We’ ll Meet Again…’ by Vera Lynn.<\/p>\n

We also had a focus on Scottish music and poetry, we listened to lots of Scottish tunes and decided that we would play ‘The Bonny Banks of Loch Lomond’ on the Trumpet. We all loved the music from the movie ‘Sunshine on Leith’ and choose to sing the song ‘Make My Heart Fly’; our Highland Dancers choose the ‘4 step Highland Fling’ and ‘ The Sword Dance’ and we were busy all week practising for our Burns’ performance.<\/p>\n

On Thursday – we went to a Burns’ Ceildih at St Kent’s and met lots of other P7s.<\/p>\n

We had a great time performing at Our Burns’ Celebration on Friday.<\/p>\n
