During Anti-Bullying week we have been using our drama skills to write a script about bullying and act this out. Children have also been learning about different types of bullying and making decisions about what to do in a bullying scenario. In P7 we are very lucky that we get on with each other very well and bullying is not a problem although we are very aware of what to do if it did become an issue for anyone.
On Tuesday we visited St. Margaret’s Academy where we got to do lots of social studies related activities about children in WW2 Germany. We learned about the Hitler Youth and the Persecution of the Jews and we are excited to go up again next week to learn some more!
In our topic, Sport Science, we have been learning about the main organs in the human body. We worked in groups and drew round someone and then painted on the main organs in the correct places. It was really fun!
In maths we have been focusing on money and learning about bills, receipts, comparing items to select the best value for money and debit cards. Parents beware – your children are all desperate for a bank card!!
Finally, this week in P7 we have started to watch CBBC Newsround every morning. The children were very upset by what happened in Paris so instead of having a one day discussion and moving on from there we have decided to keep up to date with the news every day by watching a 3-5 minute clip of today’s headlines. This has been really effective in getting the children to talk about the world and current global issues and each day we have taken a few moments to think about others in our world and really appreciate what we have.
Have a great weekend!
P7 and Miss Ford
