This week the children have participated in our walking to school week. This is a five day challenge that takes place annually!

Alongside walking to school we have been completing walking activities throughout the day. We teamed up with a P6 class to complete our daily walks, and on the last day the children all got to walk alongside their P6 buddies!

On one of our walks the P6’s had made up individual walking challenges to complete whilst we were out on our walks around the school! The children had to find items, and complete counting challenges which made the walks a lot of fun!

We have been to the woodland and have been exploring and looking at the different areas to see what we could add or remove to make the woodland a better space! We came up with some really super ideas….

“A treehouse would make the woodland better!” – EB

“We would like to add a new tent as the old one is a bit wet with some holes in it!” – JG

“I would like a climbing frame and a tyre swing!” – JN

In P.E over the last two weeks we have been doing athletics! We have been taking part in some running games and practising our relay races.

“We got the baton and had to put the hoops over our heads and then we ran again” – MA

“We had fun doing some relay races” – IT

We have also been learning about the importance of recycling and looking at what items we can and can’t recycle! In groups we then sorted out items for recycling into their correct recycling bins. This was great for helping with our cutting skills and our team work!

“We were putting the right rubbish in the right bins!” – FL

It is important…

“…so the animals don’t get hurt in all the rubbish” – IH

In dance over the last couple of weeks the children have been learning and making up different dance moves and then creating their own dances in pairs. We had lots of discussion around the music and around timings and staying in time with each other! They then showed these to the class! Super dancing P1C!

Here are some final photos of some of the children exploring pattern and some searching for common words within their reading books!

We have had another busy week in P1C!

This week we continued with data handling and enjoyed creating our own bar charts using different materials.

We also looked at the artist Henri Mattisse, He is a famous French artist and he used an art technique that he called ‘painting with scissors’. We looked at some of his famous paintings and created our own Mattisse inspired artwork using his technique.

We have had create fun in Dance this week, we looked at different dance moves and selected our favourite to create a dance routine.

We have been working hard in writing and this week we read ‘One Button Benny’ and wrote a summary of the story.

The highlight of our week was definitely the colour run!! We had so much fun taking part and going round with our buddies.

Here we are before!
