P7MO 11.11.22

This term we have been an Aviation topic. We have been learning about Aviation jobs, we have been trying to fly drones and have been building an obstacle course to fly them through. This was quite tricky because the drones kept crashing and having technical difficulties.

We have been learning about Black History Month. BHM was created by Carter G Woodson. It is celebrated in the month of October in the UK. We have been learning about influential black people from history and have written newspaper articles about them as part of our writing.

We have been learning to convert fractions into decimals and percentages. We are going to be taking part in a whole school Financial Education focus over the next few weeks. We will be learning about Salaries, Mortgages and Budgeting.

Some of us have pitched this years Enterprise idea to Mrs Angus. We were successful and our budget got approved. Keep an eye out for our adverts soon!

Have a good weekend! P7MO 🙂

ELC Blog Update 10.11.22

In the ELC, we have been learning about Autumn. We know that the leaves fall off the trees and we have to tidy them up. We have been doing this in our garden. We got apples from the tree in the ELC garden as well. We were peeling and chopping them and we made apple pie and apple soup. We have been looking at our autumn books and the acorns.

We were finding out how we get milk and then we were learning about the planets, the stars and the moon. We built a rocket for our role play. We wanted to know how many days it would take us get to the moon, so we had to research to find out and we now know it takes 3 days. We have been practising counting backwards for the countdown for our rocket blast off.

We have been doing exercise to keep us strong and make us healthy.

We are looking forward to doing lots more learning as we head towards Christmas.
