We will also be reading the novel, "Holes." It is a fictional text about a teenage boy who faces all sorts of challenges, when accused of a crime that he didn't commit and is sent to a detention camp. Furthermore, we will be looking at persuasive writing along with punctuation, spelling and grammar skills.

This term SOSE will focus on the end of the Roman Empire and The Middle Ages. The first assessment task is a Medieval timeline and is due Wednesday Week 5.

This term in Religion we will be starting off with the unit, "All About Me." In this unit we will identify our strengths and weaknesses and identify any goals that we may wish to achieve in Year 8. The assessment task is due Monday week 4.

The students have also been maintaining a personal journal to track their faith development across this unit. Over time, this journal should show the development in personal reflection not only in this topic, but across all Religion topics this year. The journal will be collected every 2 weeks for assessment.



We will also be invited to many opportunities in prayer and reflection as well as partaking in a class mass. Furthermore, we will also learn about the Lent period moving on towards Easter.
