Mr Armstrong, our chanter and bagpipes instructor gave a demonstration to our current P4-6 pupils and explained about the chanter lessons/trial. A chanter would be available for pupils who express an interest for after the summer holidays.
I have asked pupils to have a chat with their grown-ups at home, if this would be something they were in interested in trialling next session.
If you child is interested, I’ve asked the class to let me know tomorrow and I will pass the names to Mr Armstrong. There is no obligation, this is simply an expression of interest at the moment.
Our Rights Respecting Committee have created activities and days on the run to the World Cup to celebrate and learn about the host countries and the countries in the same group as Scotland.
We have started learning about coding and how code is like a set of instructions. We explored identifying errors in code and debugging them.
We have created an image on Adobe Express using simple shapes and colours and created code for partners to recreate the same image. We hope we haven’t errors in our code or our partners will have to debug it and find the a fix. Wish us luck!
We have been learning about balances – solo, partner balances, and counter balances. We had to focus on holding our bodies still and communicating carefully with our partner.
The excitement levels were hit today when P4/5 found out that Haribo were going to help us learn about calculating fractions of a quantity!! The best bit was halving them with our partner and eating them!!
We also used our skills in multiplication and division to help us too.
We were lucky to have Claire from Mini First Aid deliver First aid training on Monday. We learnt how to put someone in the recovery position, CPR, how to deal with a cut, a burn and if someone is choking.
We have been focusing on dynamic jumps and landing. We focused on the 4 phases of a jump – preparation, take off, flight and landing from different heights.
We have been learning about onomatopoeia through our novel study and used the tools on Adobe Express to create a pop art style poster showing examples of onomatopoeia.
Everyone learnt how to insert elements, duplicate images, edit text and use the shortcuts to copy and paste.
