P7B have been exploring words containing our Sound of the Week. This week our sound is our g/gh sound.

P7B have been working hard this week to find new words containing our ‘k’ sound and have been using anagrams to strengthen our spelling based on this sound.

7B have been continuing to work hard by finding practical examples of words containing our Sound of the Week. This week we were looking for our ‘ch’ sound.

On Thursday 7th March we celebrated World Book Day. 7B took the opportunity to dress up as some of their favourite literary characters. We also celebrated through quizzes, discussions of our favourite books and stories and by creating alternative book covers for some of our favourite books.

P7B have been continuing to look for practical examples of our Sound of the Week. Our sound this week is our oy/oi sound.

Today P7B had a look at examples of advertisements and discussed what made them

effective. We also used our understanding of persuasive writing techniques to create our own fictional advertisements based on what we have learned from our previous topic (The Titanic.) Using our ICT skills we used Adobe Express to make our advertisements bright and attractive.

Today P7B explored different examples of persuasive texts and advertisements in further detail. We began by looking at writing examples and analysed what we thought was positive and perhaps what we could improve. We then did the same for examples of video advertisements and focused on who they were targeted at and what techniques were used to make them persuasive.

During this task P7B were able to recognise and highlight key features of persuasive text such as powerful adjectives, rhetorical questions and supportive facts and evidence.  

P7B have been working hard all week focusing on spellings based on our ‘oo’ sound and have found lots of practical examples around our school.

National Poetry Day - 05.10.23 

On Thursday 5th October we celebrated National Poetry Day. The theme of the day was Refuge. 7B spoke about what this word means to us and explored the use of onomatopoeia to create poems based on Titanic survivors seeking refuge. Check out some of the fantastic poems below.

On Wednesday we celebrated Roald Dahl Day. We explored the life of Dahl and read some of his short stories before we had a go at creating our own Road Dahl style characters. Pictured is Maria who won our class Golden Tickets for the characters she created.
