This week we have been very active in class. We participated in The Body Coach’s Schools Fitness Week. Everyday at 10am we got changed into our PE kits and did a HIIT workout. It was good fun but some of our legs are a little bit sore! On Friday, we finally got a shout-out after four days of leaving comments for him!
As mentioned in a previous post and to celebrate the end of Chinese New Year we cooked a feast today!
On the menu today was sweet and sour stir fry Quorn ‘chicken’ with soy and ginger noodles and Chinese BBQ Quorn ‘chicken’ with egg-fried rice and vegetables. Of course there were prawn crackers to dip in too!
The aromas coming from our classroom were just delicious and we couldn’t wait to have a try before lunch!
Once we finished the sweet and sour dish it was time to cook the BBQ one with the next group. Take a look…
Here’s one of our finished dishes –
Last Thursday we had a special visit from Fiona at Zoo-ed who came to tell us the story behind the animals of the Chinese Zodiac.
2016 is the year of the Monkey but we were all born under the year of the Boar, apart from Zoha, who was born on the year of the Rat!
Fiona brought some very cute and some VERY interesting animals and reptiles along with her and of course we got to have a gentle hold too!
There was Henry and Rizzle the rats! Philip the guinea-pig and Boudicca-Rose the rabbit. Dexter the bearded dragon and Angus the corn snake.
Some of us were extremely brave! Take a closer look – especially the pictures of Angus…eek!
Thank you to Fiona and the wonderful creatures!
During HWB this term we will be identifying ways of avoiding incidents in school.
Miss Kimble took us on a tour of the school where we documented all the ways in which we are kept safe during the school day.
Under Article 24 of The UNCRC we have the right to a clean and safe environment. The Rights Respecting Group set us a challenge to give the MUGA a bit of a tidy!
We collected fallen Autumn leaves and litter that had blown into the games area.
It was an exhausting but worthwhile job. We are going to get a reward for all our efforts too! More to follow…
Thank you to Yasmin and Rydha’s Gran’s who came to help us in class this afternoon. A special thank you also to Miss Paterson who helped us write-up our recipe cards at the board afterwards!
We made some nutritionally balanced fruit and vegetable smoothies. They seemed to go down a treat judging by Luc’s response – “That is theeee best smoothie evvvver!”.
Of the 5 food groups we tried to get 3 of the groups into our smoothies.
We made: Strawberry, Banana and Blueberry, Tropical and Pear, Apple and Spinach!
This week we took part in a whole-school dance-a-thon to raise funds for the school. We turned the classroom into a dance floor but we got sooooooo out of breath as we moved non-stop for 30 minutes! Phew!
This week we got our ‘Nigella and Jamie’ hats on and we couldn’t wait to cook up a storm!
First up on the menu was Mac ‘n’ Cheese – yummy!
Here’s a picture of the finished dish and how we got there…
Primary 4b think it is very important for everyone’s voice to be heard.
We have been learning more about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and Article 15 states that ‘all children should have the right to meet other children and join groups’.
Therefore, congratulations goes to Aidan, Katherine and Kieran who were voted Class Representatives for our Pupil Council, ECO and Health and Wellbeing Committees respectively. Well done! 🙂
As part of developing our class friendships, team spirit and valuing the importance of being unique we have drawn a portrait of a partner inside a jigsaw piece.
The pieces all fit together perfectly and are now proudly displayed on our wall.
Alice – ” I like how Isher did my eyes.”
Isher – ” I like my hair.”
Saman – ” Rydha drew me! It is so cool!”
Rydha – ” Thank you Saman for drawing me.”
