P7's Top Ten Highlights for week commencing 27th October

1. Science - We learned about what DNA is and we made our own DNA double helix.

2. ICT - We created a budget using Excel.

3. Literacy - We were introduced to our mystery books.

4. Engineering - We created the Flightmaster and made it fly. Jennie won the competion.

5. Art - We created WW2 silhouettes for our Blitz Art.

6. Topic - We learned about rationing and what food people ate, e.g. British apples, powdered milk and powdered egg. Miss Finn showed us a ration box of what soldiers in the British army would have today. The coolest thing was the sausage and bean casserole in a pack.

7. R.E. - We learned that October is the month of the Rosary. We also learned about the Mysteries of  the Rosary and prayed the Luminous Mystery.

8. Maths - We learned about data handling and created a bar chart in our jotters. We previously only did this in Excel in ICT.

9. Topic - We learned about Sacha's great-grandfather who survived the war but tragically was killed afterward in a plane crash. Sacha shared with us a condolence letter from Buckingham Palace and a news article.

10. Tanzanian Talk - We had a special visitor called Seraphin. We learned about how St. Cuthbert's and Kyou walk 'hand in hand' together in friendship, while making the world a better place.

The Great P7 Bake-off - A roaring success!

This morning P7 decided they would host a cake sale to raise money for Lagganlia in March. P7 have been working really hard to make their cakes.Everyone enjoyed it! All the children loved the delicious cakes P7 made.

The children were organised into 6 groups of four,with a variety of scruptious cakes on each table.Each table had a certain class to serve and a person to monitor the crowd.Every table made a great amount of money which added up to a total of £113.31.

Without the help of Miss Finn and Mrs Gregg, we wouldn't be able to achieve our goal.
