In PE we have been playing tennis, learning how important rhythm and timing are. We are actually tennis superstars as Ellis, Erin and Kyle (plus Heather from next door!) won (and I mean WON!!) a cluster tennis tournament and have gone through to the final!!

This term we have been running a mile EVERY day, not just on Mondays. Thankfully it hasn’t been too rainy. We are getting quicker at it. Mustafa just loves running round the playground!

We have also been practising for Sports’ Day – don’t forget to come and see us race!

We are all Sun Safe Superstars, learning what to wear to protect ourselves when it is sunny. As Zara has told us, Slip, Slop, Slap to stay safe in the sun.

In RME, we have been learning about the five pillars of Islam. Kimberley has enjoyed finding out why Muslims worship as they do and Hamzah has been helping by reading his prayers out to the class.

Emily has loved making our huge 3-D wall map of Scotland.  Travis’s group made a key so that everyone can understand the map.  Iona’s group showed where the countryside is on our beautiful land. Aidan’s group made built-up areas to show where there is no longer countryside! Mairi’s group made the hills and mountains (and loved putting snow on Ben Nevis!). Matthew’s group showed where all the cities are situated. Ruaridh’s group made the lochs and rivers (and Daisy even brought in a wee Loch Ness monster for the map!). Hamish realised they would have to work well as a team in their group, and with the other groups, to make the map look accurate and eye-catching.

Euan has enjoyed taking the mapping a little wider and exploring Europe – in French! We can all name a lot of the European countries en Francais and are looking forward to translating the commentary on Euro ’16!
