Ball Skills
In PE we were developing our passing skills. Once we had worked on passing to a partner we made it trickier by passing with a defender in the way!
Medicines
This afternoon we started our new health focus where we will be learning about medicines.
To start we discussed what medicines were and then we went on to work in groups to discuss the different ways medicines can be given.
We came up with lots of different ways including:
- Injections
- Tablets
- Creams
- Inhalers
- Liquids
We are excited to learn about medicines and the different illnesses they can treat and prevent.
Hula Hoops
PE today revolved around hula hoops and the different games you can play with them.
We started with survivors.
Then we played puddles, it was a tense finale!
Next we had a shot at rolling our hoops.
Finally we had a shot at traditional hula hooping, Mrs Sobocinski needs to improve!
Voting Day!
In Mearns we have a number of committees and every year the children get to put themselves forward to represent their class.
This morning a number of our class delivery short speeches stating their reasons for wanting to be voted onto the various committees. Then everyone in the class voted for the people they thought would represent us well.
It was a close run thing with there even being a tie breaker! However we are delighted to unveil our four new class representatives!
Leaves
Every day when we come into class, we unpack our bags, order lunch and choose a leaf to put in the bowl to show how we are feeling. It is helpful to know how the class is feeling as we can then do something to help the children who are sad or upset and make them happy again. Some children like to talk about it and some don’t. How a child comes into school can affect their whole day in school.
Pizza Day
We made pizzas today. We put on the tomato base and sprinkled on the cheese. We watched the cheese bubble in the oven. Mrs Arbuckle cut them into halves and then quarters. They were yummy!
Cheese and Tomato Pastries
We made the most delicious cheese and tomato pastries. We grated the cheese and topped it with tomato. We watched the oven and we saw that the heat made the pastry rise. We let them cool before we ate them. They were delicious!
