Gymnastics

We have been working on our paired balances this week in gymnastics.

Grow Your £5 – Virgin Money

This week we have been looking at gaps in the market to help us create a product.

“We were deciding what to use to create books.  Some of the other groups are making food or jewellery.” Ben H

Next week we will be looking at product logos and how much it will cost to make our products.

LEAF Action Plan

“We were tracking how trees change over Winter.  We each chose a tree and garden area and took a picture of it to track over the seasons.”  Ibrahim

“We went outside for LEAF and each group 3-4 chose an area.  In our area we looked at its growth for a long time then will look at the progress later on in the different seasons.  Me and my friends made a small bug area and places for the birds to land.  It was fun!” Magnus

 

Titanic Shoe Boxes

“We were making Titanic rooms out of shoe boxes.  I made a swimming pool and a first-class bedroom.”  HP

“The grand staircase has lots of gold and it was really fun making it with Charlotte.” Aayshah

We will post out a picture of our final Titanic ship made out of shoe boxes when we are finished.

Stop Motion Animation

This afternoon we started making our story boards for our animations about the Titanic.  We are looking forward to collating the resources we need to make the animations; they will be great once they are finished.

PE

Indoors, we have been beginning our gymnastics unit. We showed off our dynamic forward rolls, pencil rolls and teddy bear rolls!

“We we’re learning about different rolls. My forward rolls were excellent.” – Emily

Outdoors, we began our tennis unit. We practiced balancing and bouncing the tennis balls with and without a racket. We even managed to play a couple of rallies.

“We were doing ‘keepy-uppies’ with our rackets. My favourite part of the lesson was the rallies at the end!” – Ben S

    

Tinkercad

Primary 5 have been experimenting with ‘Tinkercad’, an online tool used to create 3D models. We have been using this to create digital models of the Titanic.

“We needed to use the 3D design tool to create every part of the ship and the iceberg. When we have done this we can then create stop-motion.” – Adam and Caleb

Make £5 Grow

In collaboration with Virgin Money, we have been looking at the topic ‘enterprise’ and have been given the opportunity to turn £5 for each pupil into a business venture. We will be designing, creating and advertising our own products.

“We have been given £5 each to create and advertise a product. I am thinking about creating bracelets as a potential product.” – Mariia

“My group and I have been discussing what products we could create. We are considering creating cupcakes. We will need to use our leadership and creativity to turn our business into a success.” – Archie
