P7 Blog it, 27.9.19

Maths/Numeracy:

We have been doing percentages on a pie chart and using protractors. We have also been learning about different types of graphs such as line graphs, bar chart, pictograph and pie chart. At first we didn’t move our jotters and protractors effectively but after a while we were successful in using them effectively.

 

Writing:

We have been using persuassive language to write about key topics such as our Queen posters and world issues. We were also learning about dystopian writing and used adjectives to describe the setting. Dystopian writing is about a future where things do not go well for the human race. We analysed our class novel through this. We really enjoyed this type of writing and can’t wait to finish them!

 

Class novel:

Our class novel is The Hunger Games and Katniss is the main character (protagonist) and she lives in District 12. There is also a reaping which you have to go to between the ages of 12 and 18. We have been watching a clip and discussing the novel and did a literacy comprehension task on it. We also acted out a scene showing our visualisation skills.

Topic:

This week we have had a discussion based on a Newsround clip based on Brexit and democracy. We read news articles about current UK issues and were able to answer some of our questions we had about our topic that we created at the start of the term.

French:

This week we celebrated modern languages by teaching our buddies French words and phrases. We also created a board full of information and pictures all about Hungary, Nimi helped us lots!

 

Can’t wait for the next few weeks! 🙂

Primary 4B

Primary 4B would like to tell you about what we have been doing.

 

Ramzi said we have been learning about mummification. We mummified some tomatoes. We had to wash them, cut them and scoop out the insides and then we filled them with baking powder and salt. Within a week they shrunk and shrivelled up because the salt took all the water out. Rhys really enjoyed making canopic jars out of clay for the tomatoes to go in.

We have really enjoyed singing with NYCOS. Mrs De Leun has been teaching us rhythm and beats and we have been learning lots of new songs. Tristan’s favourite song is the coca cola song!

Oliver has enjoyed racing in PE. We have been keeping fit doing lots of 6 minute laps. Jacob liked doing the stations with shuttle runs, skipping and burpees! We have been practising backwards passing in rugby- Iemanja has nailed it! We are taking part in a world cup rugby competition!

We have also been learning about Holland. Lewis knows they are famous for Tulips and cheese! We are looking forward to learning about different European countries too.
