This has been a short but busy week. We have been working very hard in class to prepare to receive the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion. Father Kenneth visited us this week to chat about our Saints and our rehearsal next week. We are all very excited about our special day. Here are some of our highlights from this week.
Abi “This week in writing we wrote a letter to Mrs Purdie to ask her to encourage the children in the school to help endangered by animals keeping our environment clean and healthy.”
Mirren “In IDL we learned about global warming and how this affected the animals.”
Lewis “We also looked at how global warming is affecting the climate. In the polar zones the ice is melting and the sea levels are rising because the climate is getting warmer. This means that the animals there are at risk of drowning and losing their habitat because there is not enough land.”
Finlay “Global warming is caused by pollution from factories and car fumes. Trees absorb CO2 however more trees are getting cut down which means the gases are rising and creating a layer around the world.”
Krystian “The sun rays heat up the earth but is trapped because the layer of gases and this causes the climate to get warmer.”
Lukasz “In PE we used the track out on the field to do relay races and we got to pick 4 teams of 4. We had to number ourselves. We were working on building up our stamina when running.”
Joshua “In maths this week we have been learning about time using am and pm. I know am starts from midnight until midday and pm starts from midday until midnight.”
Marcella “We also used many of the skills we have learned this year in problem solving. We used our knowledge of time, money, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.”
Charlie “In Spanish we were learning about animals and colours. We were using our Spanish vocabulary we have learned to write in sentences about the animals.”
Have a great weekend
