November and December 2023
Literacy
We read different fables such as the Frog and the Ox and the Ant and the Grasshopper. We learnt the features of a fable and what a moral is. We then acted out some of the fables, using our acting skills with the help of a few props!
Numeracy/Maths
We have been very busy learning about fractions, decimals, angles and budgeting. We now know how to buy a meal on a budget and how to spot a bargain. P7 set up their own business for their enterprise project. They decided to make and sell bracelets and origami football shirts. This has proved very successful, raising money for charity and their school prom. We will let you know how much they have made and the charity they have decided to give to next month.
Making bracelets and football shirts for our P7 Enterprise!
Building a suspension bridge.
IDL- Bridges
We have been learning about different bridges and parts of a bridge. We tested different structures to see what makes bridges strong. We managed to build beam bridges, truss bridges and suspension bridges.
