We enjoyed a massage session out in the garden. We practised mindfulness too and used our senses and listened to sounds we could hear, things we could feel.

Health Week – Dentist Visit
Our parent volunteer talked to P1 and P2 all about the importance of tooth brushing.
Some pupils even got to do an experiment to see how well they can clean their teeth.
Health Week – Taekwondo
Thanks to our volunteers from Phoenix Taekwondo who took a session for us where we practised different punches and kicks.
We were lucky enough to see and hold some of the medals and trophies our volunteers have won…World Champs!
Health Week – Drum roll please…Circus skills!
P1 loved their session working with their P7 buddies on a range of circus skills.
Health Week – Yoga
What a lovely way to start a Monday morning with a yoga session with one of our parent volunteers.
Fruit Smoothies gone digital!
P1 used Immersive Reader on Word today on the iPads to listen to and follow the recipe to make fruit smoothies.
We have been learning about the importance of a healthy, balanced diet and designed our own smoothies. – Strawberry and raspberry and Orange and pineapple…delicious!
Our Senses
This week we have been exploring our senses.
We enjoyed feeling and smelling our ‘mint’ and ‘cocoa’ playdough. Good enough to eat, but we all resisted!
We used our eyes to look for this week’s common words in books from the library.
We got to taste a range of fruits from the story Handa’s Surprise and talked about words to describe the taste.
PE
Primary 1 have been continuing to develop their fitness and co-ordination skills. They moved around the gym hall in different ways and had to listen to instructions to respond and touch the correct coloured marker. Lots of fast feet and changes of direction were needed!
Taekwondo
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, we had a Taekwondo session. We learned kicks and punches.
Chinese New Year
To celebrated Chinese New Year, we made Stir Fry Noodles. P1 practised the bridge and claw grip when chopping the vegetables.
After cooking, the best bit…eating the noodles!
