P7 – Learning Out doors

Leave a comment

Friday was filled with sunshine and a day for learning outdoors! 

We went to the garden to read and really enjoyed using our new outdoor library. Everyone took time to relax and read for pleasure for 20 minutes.  Mrs Ross showed us the birds that had been singing in the garden while we were reading.

We then put our books down and played hide and seek together which we all agreed was a favourite part of our day – even the huge spider in the storage boxes that everyone hid in didn’t stop our enthusiasm. 

Next we decided to take our P.E outside and try out the cricket skills that we have been developing with Miss Wales.  After practising our batting and bowling we had a fun mini game. We definitely have some budding cricketers in P7! We used Significant Aspects of Learning (SALs) to identify skills that we could see while we were watching games from the side-lines. 

We are hoping this sunshine lasts when we visit Dalguise next week!

P7 – Teaching P1 to Ceilidh Dance

P.E – Scottish Dancing

We have really enjoyed learning some traditional Scottish Dances. We have learned the Gay Gordons, Flying Scotsman, Canadian Barn Dance, Strip the Willow and Dashing White Sargent.
We have also realised that ceilidh dancing is aerobic exercise! 

We decided that we would like to teach our P1 buddies to dance, since they are also learning about Scottish traditions.
We had lots of fun, giggles and tired buddies! 

P7 Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day 

Today we walked to Fenwick Cemetery to visit the war graves of two of the soldiers that are named on our War Memorial.  We took some flowers and a poppy cross to lay on their graves and remember them. 

We were pleased to see that the head stones had been cleaned and taken care of but we gave them a little brush and wash to make sure they looked well cared for. 

In school we learned about the meaning of the poppy and created a display as a mark of respect.

Well done to our Cross Country Team who represented Fenwick Primary School  at the East Ayrshire Cross Country Schools Event last week. 

The team warmed up together, motivated  and encouraged  each other. They even made up their own cheer leading chant!

We looked the part in our Fenwick Kit! 

Each runner gave their best and ran with determination!  We were all incredibly proud of their amazing efforts. Well done everyone, what  a fabulous team !

East Ayrshire Primary Schools Cross Country 2024

 

We have been invited to participate in the East Ayrshire Primary Schools Cross Country 2024 event in November (subject to securing transport). As part of this process we will be holding heats with all P6 and P7 pupils on Friday the 11th October and Tuesday 22nd October.

Can we ask that all children come to school with a full change of clothes in their bag to use for the cross country heats in the field. The heats will take place regardless of weather and/or condition of the field so children may get wet or dirty (please keep this in mind when packing their change of clothes and shoes for these dates). Further updates will be posted in due course.
