Health Week Day 1: Karate, Super Tattie and Mindfulness Club
Today the Primary 6/7 pupils enjoyed a visit from Sensi Liam who delivered a fun and full of laughter introductory session to Karate. The pupils learned lots of different moves inclucidng kicks and blocks by taking part in a variety of drills.
Following on from this session, all pupils have been invited to attend a 2 week no obligations free trial. Pupils who were interested should have a leaflet in their bags this evening.
The pupils were also surprised by a visit from SuperTattie the East Ayrshire School Lunches mascot who spent the play time in our playground.
Some pupils from our class who are in the Health and Wellbeing Pupils School Improvement Committee lead a mindfulness lunchtime club for pupils from across the school. They participated in mindful colouring and the classroom felt very calm and relaxed.
This week p6/7 have been learning about the digestive system in science and really enjoyed squashing up the food to recreate what happens inside our body as we digest food.
P7 visited the ECC to continue working with the children on STEM activities.
In maths we were using our skills of reading and writing co-ordinates to create a treasure hunt for other groups.
The children had to create a symmetrical picture that represented the school building using natural materials. they worked together in groups to be successful learners.
The children were set the task of adding another row of triangles then continually adding to it. they had to identify how many sticks would be used and what the pattern was. They had to use their problem solving skills and reasoning for this activity.
p6/7 and p3/4 enjoyed learning about the similarities and differences between wild and domestic cats. They learnt how to read the body language of a cat and a cat’s needs. The children participated in quizzes to test their knowledge and evaluate their learning.
In chapter 12 of Welcome to Nowhere the character Eman was introduced to Balil, who Omar referred to as ‘Mr Nosey’ as he scared Uncle Ali away at the start of the story in Bosra because of his political views. In this chapter we begin to see arrangements being made for Eman’s arranged marriage to Balil. The children took on the character roles of Baba and Eman to debate whether this was the right path for her. They identified and matched UNCRC rights of 2- non-discrimination; 5- right to guidance by family; 7-right to name and nationality; 12-right to an opinion; 14-right to have own views and 28-access to education.
