Year 7 have been enjoying reading our class novel 'Friend or Foe' by Michael Morpurgo. Our novel is linked to our topic 'Keep calm and carry on'. The story is about two boys from London who are evacuated to the country during World War 2.

Today we had a debate on the postive and negative aspects of being evacuated to the countryside. Everyone thought of lots of good reasons on both sides of the argument.

After the children had to predict what they thought might happen in the next chapter of the novel.

Next we completed an experiment to see the difference wearing fluorescent clothes has when a light is shone on to it compared to dark clothing. We highlighted the importance of wearing bright clothes when you are a pedestrian or cyclist at this time of the year.

This week we have been celebrating Friendship week in class by completing a variety of activities.

On Monday for Kindness day we completed a Kindness wheel were we thought about how we could show kindness to ourselves, our peers, our family and in our school and community. 

Yesterday we watched an article on NewsDesk about Anti Bullying week and the different types of bullying and how to speak out if we are bullied or we witness bullying. 

Today we thought about what qualities and traits made a good friend and we made a garden of tulips with these qualtiies and traits on the flowers.
