Our Monday was off to a great start with Miss Martin our String Instrument Teacher. Today we were learning the names of our different strings and used the mnemonics ‘Green Dinosaurs Are Enormous’ and ‘Auntie Daisy Goes Crazy’ to help us ensure our strings were plucked in the right order! As you can see from our photos posture is really important and we used Beanie Babies to help ours!
As part of our Health and Wellbeing we have been learning the importance of looking after our teeth. We are in the middle of an experiment where we have a tooth submerged in Diet Coke and one submerged in Coca-Cola… We think that the tooth in the regular Coke will rot faster – what do you think?
For our Health and Wellbeing we have been learning all about the responsibilities that go hand in hand with being a parent / carer. We had to look after our very own Jelly Babies for a week…some of us were more responsible than others but we can be sure that we had good fun!
In SLC 3 we have been working with Ross Macfarlane to explore the story of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory through drama. Ross has been helping us to think about the characters in the story and has been giving us great, active ways to practise new types of punctuation that we can use in our writing.
In our sessions, we have thought about what the characters in the book are like. Here we are pretending to be someone from the story. Can you guess who?
We have also been bringing some scenes from the book to life. Here we are imagining that we are opening the door to the Chocolate Room!
Here is Justin being very pleased to be in a room full of chocolate!!
We have really been enjoying working with Mr Ross and exploring the story!
P7 recently attended an Athletics Meeting at the Kilmarnock Athletics Arena where they participated in a variety of events and relay races. Unfortunately we didn’t progress to the next round but a good time was had by all.
