Primary 7: A Year of Exploration and Celebration
In Primary 7, we embark on a journey of discovery, exploring fascinating topics that spark curiosity and broaden our understanding of the world around us.
In the opening term, we are transported to the captivating age of the Vikings. This thrilling topic blends history, geography, and science, offering an enriching introduction to our World Around Us (WAU) curriculum. Our imaginations come alive as we read Viking Boy, a gripping tale of daring raids, fierce battles, mythical creatures, and heart-pounding adventures that keep us on the edge of our seats.
As the year unfolds, we step back in time to the Victorian era. We delve into the reign of Queen Victoria, comparing the lives of people then and now. Through the lens of history, we learn about the struggles of the workhouse, and we read Street Child, the poignant story of a young boy who alerted Dr. Bernardo to the plight of destitute children in Victorian London—a tale that tugs at the heartstrings and sparks deep reflection.
In the final term, our focus turns toward new beginnings and heartfelt farewells. We prepare for the sacred rite of Confirmation, an important milestone in our religious journey. We also look forward to our Leavers' trip, a week brimming with laughter, friendship, and unforgettable adventures. The year culminates in our emotional Leavers’ Mass and assembly, where we reflect on the growth and achievements of the year, and bid a bittersweet goodbye to the school that has been our home for so long. It is a time of celebration, recognition, and looking ahead to the bright futures awaiting each of us.
