French
In French we have been learning the colours and the numbers. We have also been learning how to say where we live.
Maths
In maths we have started to do the platinum Beat Its Tests as Ms McLaren thought we were ready to.
Eggstronauts
P7 started with our eggstronauts which we had to name and make them come back to Earth safely. There were 6 injured and 3 murdered before we had started the Test. We each had to make a parachute and a crumple zone so that they would land safely and survive. Before we did it with our eggstronauts we tried it with a test subject (guinea pig) which was a glue stick.
