Respect Cities

We used what we learned about respectful behaviour to work together to make Respect Cities out of one of our favourite building materials – Kapla.

Outdoor Spelling

During our Woodlands time on Monday we tried to find things that started with every letter of the alphabet. We used our respectful behaviour rules and technology to cooperate and think creatively.

Road Safety

During Road Safety week we heard from PC Mitchell about how to keep safe when we are out and about. We found out it is also our responsibility to keep safe and we got some great safety tips to pass on to all the adults in our lives. We used what we learned to make some posters for the JRSO competition.

 

This week was Anti-Bullying Week in Scotland and P4a did lots of work about respect – what it looks and sounds like. The differences between joking around and bullying behaviour and how to make a noise about bullying.

We used our report writing and technology skills to write reports during Anti-Bullying Week. We worked in teams to draw and write what respect looks like. We made our own plans to make “A choices” when things go wrong. We put these principles into practice on Friday to make “Respect Cities”

We made some cooperative Landscape Art on Monday, Like the famous artist Andy Goldsworthy and took some beautiful pictures in the Autumn sunshine.

During our Kodaly music session we were practising all of our rhythms and making group music using drumsticks. We learned another new song to add to our already massive collection!

 

Swimming

On Monday we went for our first swimming lesson. We swam forwards and backwards across the pool. We also tried some bouncing and putting our ears and faces underwater.

Woodlands will happen as normal next week (Monday 6th of November)

Health and Wellbeing/STEM

We finished our Brickoramas that showed the dangers of Bonfire night. We wrote bossy verb captions telling people how to keep safe.  There were lots of tips and tricks to remember. We shared our creations using cloud technology.

HATVSER

During assembly today we had a visitor to talk about Harvest and how Christians celebrate it by being thankful to God for our food. Another way they celebrate it is by thinking of ways to help others around the world who may not have enough food because of droughts (not enough rain) or floods (too much rain).

One way we thought we could help as individuals is to donate food to foodbank trolleys in Supermarkets when we pass them.

We are still looking for donations of old tents that never get used (and you don’t mind not getting back). We are also looking for:

• Nails
• Screws
• Scrap wood
• Hinges and ANY old ironmongery
• Old electrical items
• Old mechanical items
