Fitness!

In PE we have been building up our fitness levels by completing fitness  stations. We have been feeling our pulse before and after each activitiy and our pulse was getting quicker.  Today our stations were shuttle runs, agility ladder,  bunny jumps, bounce and catch and jump the distance.

Party Hats and Fruit Kebabs!

Party Hats

Carrying on with instructional writing in our comprehension we read some instructions about how to make a party hat. We answered all the questions related to the instructions then made our own hat. We are wearing them on our heads in the first photo.

 

 

Fruit Kebabs

In Health we have been talking about healthy foods and snacks. We made some fruit kebabs which are a great healthy snack. We then wrote instructions for them as well.

 

 

Instructions!

We have been learning how to write instructions within our writing lessons. We are making sure that we include a ‘you will need’ list and that our instructions are clear and easy to follow. We made cucumber sandwiches to help us get the right order. We even ate them afterwards😋

 

Halloween Fun!

We all had a fab time at our Halloween party and as it was our PE time we even managed to have it in the hall! Dancing, games and party food were all enjoyed thanks to the Parent Council donation!

 

 

Scottish Inventors

We have been studying Scottish Inventors this month. We learned about Alexander Graham Bell and how he invented the telephone so we re-created our own basic telephones to communicate with each other! They did work!

 

Maths Week!

This week is National Maths Week and we have been focusing on symmetry . We went outdoors to try to create some symmetrical patterns using natural materials from the our playground. We did find it tough to be completely symmetrical but we made a good attempt. We also the created symmetrical patterns using 3D objects in the classroom.  We created our own symmetrical pattern first then we created half of one for our partner to complete. We enjoyed doing it!
