This morning we have been busy in our classroom following some Body Coach Kids Workouts! These were super tricky so we decided to do some Just Dance to break it up a little bit. We had great fun before heading to our Yoga session before break!
We have been using a breathing ball to control our breathing and help us focus! We then tried out some cool yoga positions, look how flexible we can be.
Kapla towers seem to be the favourite thing to build during our soft starts . We also have some play dough models too!
Primary 3 did a fabulous job of presenting their Scottish poems in front of the class. It was lovely to be able to sit and listen to their wonderful presentations.
Although we all did a great job we narrowed it down to three winners!
Well done to Mirren, Wyatt and Zac!
Primary 3 are learning about expressions and relationships.
We are learning about these through special stories which are all linked to important values such as compassion, love, communication, peace, friendship, joy, co-operation, bravery and honesty.
This week we focused on honesty by reading about Bertha the Bunny. We talked about different situations where it would be important to be honest. We then acted out the situation from the story book.
On Friday we attended the festival with Primary 5!
We all had a great time and gave every dance our best shot – even if we had never done it before!
If you follow this link you can see all the photos and videos of us there!
Primary 3 are learning about opinions.
To do this we decided it would be fun to give our opinion on our Menzieshill Library books. We picked these ourselves on our library visit.
Primary 3 are going to write a book review for their books and display them in our classroom. This might inspire others to read them too!
This can eventually be a task the children can complete independently before they add a book to the class reading challenge.
This afternoon we had some pod time! We were so happy to find that there were lots of new items for us to play with!
We built lots of shelters and invented new games we could play. We focused on team work today. It was important for us to try to work together and share.
Eva also earned some special bubble time for working hard with Miss Cummings!
We have been working hard in our literacy lessons to understand Scottish language.
We have looked at some Scottish poems and discussed the meaning of the tricky Scottish words, verse by verse, before Primary 3 were given the choice of 4 poems to learn for our Scottish poem competition. They had to choose one poem to learn and recite to the class.
Together we decided that it was important to talk loud and clear, be able to look at our audience and even use expression in our voices!
This is what we are looking for when we are peer assessing each other. It’s been a tough job for Primary 3 but everyone has tried so hard so far! Fantastic effort boys and girls!
Keep practicing your chosen poem with a grown up at home, we’re looking forward to hearing some more of these this week!
After all our hard work last week, we enjoyed some Just Dance to give our brains a little break!
Primary 3 have lots of amazing things they like to share with the class! This term we are practicing how to talk in front of an audience and listen respectfully in turn! Last week we were treated to a show of awards, a violin performance and some exciting news stories.
We are getting much more confident at sharing our news with the class and talking in-front of others.
Keep practicing your Scottish Poems, we are looking forward to hearing them this week!
