A Spooky and Surprising Week in P7

This week we have something really exciting to share with everyone but we will keep that for the very end of our blog so here is what we’ve been doing this week:

Rachael – In Reading Routes we used our reading skills to analyse a poem called ‘The Vampire’. We looked for repetition, metaphors and vocabulary choice and discussed why the poet had used these and what effect they had on the reader.

Nikki – On November 1^st we celebrated All Saints Day Mass with our school community. On Thursday we also started to make our characters for our Term 2 class charter.

Charlie – We have been working with other teachers and other children a lot this week which has been very fun. Today we watched P7/6’s Assembly, on Monday we joined P3 for the spell your name fitness challenge and yesterday we did lots of Global Citizenship work with Mrs Docherty.

Catherine – Today we had Golden Time for the first time in ages. Not because we had lost the privilege but because our Fridays have been jam packed with swimming and committees etc.

Liam – Yesterday the football team played their first game of the season. It’s great to be back!

Sally – In writing we used our imaginations to write about a haunted house. It was spooky because Miss Ford showed us a photo to get us thinking about what it would look like and we also used scary music to focus during writing.

Alice – In maths we did some Halloween problem solving using the 4 operators (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) and our big surprise is also maths related …

As a class we are so excited to share our new IDL topic with you all. We are going to be taking part in Virgin Money’s Make Your £5 Grow scheme. We have been very lucky that Virgin Bank have loaned us £5 each and we are going to be working in groups of 6 to try and come up with a business idea and hopefully make huge profits! We will give you more information when we have it but for now we are all busy brainstorming ideas and fulfilling our new entrepreneur roles!

Have a great weekend!
