The sun was shining so P3/4 took themselves outside to enjoy their personal reading books in the sunshine!

As part of our IDL Topic, My Body, we have been learning about inheritance and characteristics that can be inherited.
We learnt about inherited characteristics in humans, animals and plants. Lots of great discussion took place!
MONSTER INHERITANCE CHALLENGE: To explore inherited characteristics, learners chose 2 monsters and then had to identify characteristics that could be passed onto their offspring. They then drew what the offspring could possibly look like. P3/4 excelled themselves and their monsters were ROAR-some!!
P3/4 were so excited to receive replies from our Pen-Pal letters in Spain! We loved reading all about our new friends!
We are reading Flat Stanley as our class novel. During the story, Stanley gets posted to his friend in California.
We have joined up with a school in Spain and are going to write to a Year 3 class as pen pals.
Everyone wrote an introductory letter about themselves to their new pen pal and created a “Flat me” to send alongside their letters.
Excitement levels were high today as we walked to the post box to post our letters. We can’t wait to receive our responses from Spain!
In hockey today, we have been consolidation our hold on the stick, our push pass, aiming towards a target and stopping the ball.
We started our new block of PE today. We are focusing on gymnastics this term. Today we have been discussing the importance of warming up and stretching, being safe and being aware of others.
We learnt the 5 basic shapes – straight, tuck, straddle, pike and star. Everyone did such a fantastic job that we were able to try some more advanced shapes – the dish, arch, front support and back support. Pupils worked with a partner and gave each other feedback on their body positioning to help them improve.
P4 thoroughly enjoyed their P4-7 Christmas Party on Tuesday and P3 had a ball at their party today and they even had a VIP guest…Santa!!
Also, we have been very lucky to secure prizes of vouchers and gifts for our raffle at the Christmas Fayre. Tickets can be bought this Friday 6th December during the Christmas Fayre. If any local businesses or families would still like to donate prizes, these would be more than welcome (please contact the school to do so). We also have house coloured treat hampers along with a selection of other prizes that have been kindly donated by our pupils and their families that will be up for grabs!
Our House Sports Leaders from P7 have organised some tennis sessions for P1-3. This allows our fantastic Sports Leaders from P7 to develop their leadership skills and for P1-3 to earn some extra house points for their houses!
Can ALL P3 pupils please bring their PE on THURSDAY (5th Dec).
We have been practising our attacking and defending in rugby this week.
Pupils played a piggy-in-the-middle style game to develop this skill and then developed it in a 4v4 game.
