23rd – 27th May 2022
We started our morning off with a body scan meditation in class. This was followed by some delicious smoothie making. In groups, we agreed upon what fruit and fruit juice to include before mixing it all up in the blender. Every pupil tried their smoothie and most pupils loved their smoothie.
PE – Karate
After break we participated in a karate session delivered by a Sensi from Senjokai Karate Academy in the PE hall. Sensi was amazing with the children and they had amazing fun from start to finish with lots of laughter and smiles. Every pupil has brought home a leaflet today in their bag in case they are interested in pursuing this further.
Positive Mindset
Spreading Kindness
All pupils participated in a top secret positivity task – ask them what they have been up to!
PE – Rugby
After lunch we had a coach from Kilmarnock Rugby Club deliver a session focusing on passing and touch tackling through a range of games. Unfortunately the rain made an appearing after we had started our session and it poured down but this didn’t stop the children from enjoying the session. If any children are interested in joining in with training at Kilmarnock Rugby Club they can go along on a Wednesday night between 6:30 and 7:30.
P2/3 were set the challenge to create a fitness circuit using all their learning from our fitness block in PE.  They collaborated with others to design and test their fitness circuit.  The class had fun trying out each other’s creations!
Today in PE, we started a new block of learning focusing on fitness. Today we worked on 2 aspects – agility and accuracy by completing a range of different activities.
P2/3 have been developing their skills in hockey with Mrs Sanderson. Â This week, we progressed from using a beanbag to a ball. Â Lots of concentration was needed!
Kilmarnock Footbull Club
We were very lucky to have a visit from Kilmarnock Football Club’s Community Trust this week. The pupils had lots of fun playing different football based games within the amazing Hexagol that they brought along. It was a bonus that the sun was shining.
Over the last few weeks, we have been learning about creative dance. We have been learning about the 4 main dance shapes – pin, wall, twist and ball and how these can be danced at different heights.
Using the story, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch, we created our own dances using key features of the story – the cottage, the boat, the waves, the seaweed and seagulls to inspire us.
We used our topic, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch to inspire us to create dances today.  We learnt to create different shapes using the lighthouse, the cottage, a shell and the waves.
We started our new focus in PE today. Â We are going to be developing our tennis skills over the coming weeks. Â Today we focused on ball and racquet familiarisation.
