-Tuck Jumps

-Star Jumps

We also practised our balances. Some of these are performed on mats and others on benches. Some of our balances include:

-Arabesque

-Tuck Balance

-Dish Balance

-Arch Balance

Health and Wellbeing

For HWB this term, P5 are focussing on managing our emotions and concentrating on our wellbeing. We discovered in a study that if you start your day with a positive thought, you will continue to have a positive day. As a result, we researched ‘Positive Affirmations’. It is important that we share our positive affirmations with others in the school to ensure we all have positive thoughts on our way into school. We decided to create positive posters to display on our playground fence.

Make sure you have a read when you enter the playground and start your day right!

This term in P.E, we are learning about Hockey. We have learned how to pass using different methods – one being a push pass. This week we are learning how to dribble with the hockey ball. We are learning how to control the ball and manipulate our stick in different directions.

Once we had practised our dribbling skills, we held a mini competition of who could dribble around the cones the fastest. Team 2 won both games!

P5 Science

In Science today we were learning about Water. Water has 3 states: liquid (water), solid (ice) and gas (steam).

Kayla: ‘If you put water to 0 degrees it turns to ice. Ice is a solid. ‘

Hilda: ‘If water is over 100 degrees it turns into steam. Steam is a gas.’

Paige: ‘Water is a liquid. It is see through.’

Noah: ‘When you put water into baking powder it turns into a foam. It was still at the bottom so it’s insoluble’

Theo: ‘Salt and sugar both dissolve – they are soluble’

Riley: ‘Sand does not dissolve. It sank to the bottom.’

Sophie: ‘The coffee dissolved and it turned it brown and blackish’

Chloe: ‘When you put water with oil it turned all bubbly. It was like a lava lamp.’

Riley: ‘The talcum powder looked a little like snow’
