P1/2 have just finished building their Space Station and are looking forward to their trip into space.  They have been been busy with their astronaut training – fitness and fine motor skills using different gloves, tweezers and litter pickers so that they can conduct space repairs in the Space Work Module (with tumble drier pipe and gloves!).  The astronaut food is ready and we are just waiting for our spacesuits to arrive…….

P7 photography composition

Last week  our class p7 entered a competition about photography and architecture run by the Scottish Civil trust.  We went a walk round the village looking for  photographs  to take. There were all kinds of photos like roof tops, paths & drain pipes and they were taken at different angels to make them look eye catching. When we got back from the walk round the village we looked though all of our photo’s and picked out the best photo and edited it a wee bit to make it look better.  Then they could enter it in to the competition.

Gymnastics

P7 have been learning all about gymnastics and have been doing it for P.E. We have been focusing on four key things : Rotation, inversion, balance and flight. Rotation means rotating round, inversion is upside down, balance is just balancing and flight is when you jump or are in the air. But remember that when you are doing balance you have to hold it for extended period of time. We went into groups and made mini sequences to show our ability to do rotation, inversion, flight and balance. We were moving to the classical music the BBC 10 Pieces program.  At the end we had to peer assess and self assess our ability to perform the four key things. We were all very enthusiastic and exited to be able to have an opportunity to learn about gymnastics.
