They have also been setting fitness targets and working hard to achieve them. Here are some photos from today’s circuits lesson – everyone working very hard!

P4/5/6/7 Sharing our opinion
On Wednesday we had visitors to our class from Marr Area Partnership and Action for a Fairer World. The reason for their visit was to ask for children’s views and opinions on Braemar, which will be shared with the Community Council and contribute towards the Community Action Plan.

Contrasting Bonfire Art in P5,6,7
Remember remember the 5th of November 🔥🎆🎇
Pupils in p5,6,7 celebrated Guy Fawkes by creating watercolour artwork of bonfires. We used contrasting shapes (organic and geometric), and contrasting colours (warm and cool).

A visit from the police
PC Alex came to school today. She showed us the police car and everything which is kept inside. She also showed us how the lights and siren work! Soon, she is going to come back and talk to our class about how to stay safe when we are out and about.

Basketball in P5,6,7
This term pupils in P5, P6 and P7 have been learning how to play Basketball. They have learned new skills like dribbling with alternate hands, how to do a lay up, and how to spin the ball on their finger. They have also been working on their teamwork skills.
“You win and you lose!” – Andrew

Here are some pictures from our final game today…



Play in P5-7
P5-7 have been leading their learning through play, inspired by items in the much anticipated Mystery Box. The box held a digital camera, 3d glasses, a medal and a wooden box.
Ivy – “we have been adapting when things go wrong, we come back and try again to make it better
Piper – “we have been communicating with each other about what we are going to do next”
