Health week

Yesterday as part of our health week activities, the three P6/7 classes got together to try some yoga. They discussed how yoga is good for your physical and mental health and then had fun trying lots of different poses.

Paired reading with P2!

 Everything stops on a Friday afternoon for quick half hour of paired reading when P6/7D work with Miss Black's pupils and hear the young readers read their storybooks and then read a story to their partner.

Outdoor Maths

Maths moved outside so that the children had the space to measure using metre sticks this week. Despite the sub-zero temperatures they managed to use the metre sticks and chalk to measure long lengths around the playground. They also had a we shot of the infra red thermometer and found that the darkest, coldest spot in the playground was a teeth-chattering -5' in temperature! BRR!

Tessellation

We have been revising different types of symmetry and making tessellations. Yesterday we went on a pattern hunt around the school.

Ukulele lessons

First lesson - very exciting!  We learned three chords, the names for the different parts of our instrument and how to strum. Great fun!

Expressive arts

P6/7 D investigated 2D shapes that could tile to create tessellations that ghe will use as backgrounds to display their photos and poetry in. It was tricky but we got there in the end!

House elections

Some of our children gave speeches to their respective houses on their suitability as candidates for Vice Captain and House Captain. They all did a great job!
