This week in P7 we have been celebrating Robert Burns Day. The children used their ICT skills and worked in groups to research and create a PowerPoint on Robert Burns and then presented this to the class. We also analysed the Burns\u2019 poem \u2018A Red, Red Rose\u2019 and even managed to draw our own roses which look really impressive!<\/p>\n
On Wednesdays we work as a whole P7 group for writing with Miss Ford and Mrs Docherty. This week it was really funny because we got to write Scottish poems using Scots vocabulary such as: rammy, totie, nicht, minging, hame, bonnie and sleekit. Do you know what all of these words mean?<\/p>\n
We also held a debate this week about the current government proposal of the sugar tax. This was something we heard about on CBBC Newsround and with our topic being democracy we decided to share our thoughts and ideas by having a debate. Just over half of the class liked the idea of the sugar tax because of the benefits this would have on the health of our nation although some people thought that increasing the price wasn\u2019t the best way to create a healthier population. We would be interested to hear some of your thoughts too and we will be looking out for more information on the sugar tax in the near future.<\/p>\n
Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
