It’s been an action packed week in P5b…

 

Euro2020 football skills

We practised different football skills – we dribbled around mannequins, scored goals in a huge inflatable goal and played a minigame on the MUGA.  the goal had holes that were worth different points – lots of us found it tricky to kick the ball high enough.

 

Sports day

The whole school had sports day this week, in our stages.  P5 was Monday afternoon.  We did lots of different skills: rugby, javelin, throwing, spacehoppers, basketball, running, hockey and football.  We also did four different races.

 

Numeracy and Maths

We developed our estimation and measuring skills using volume this week.  We estimated the volume of different bottles and containers and then filled them with water and used scales accurately.

 

Literacy and English

We worked on identifying past, present and future as we have been confused these at times in our writing.  since it was Friday, we made sure we moved about while doing this job!

 

Coding

We used Scratch to code a Pong game.  We needed a background and two code two different sprites.  We used the forever and if commands .  We used our Maths skills with angles to make the spite bounce, by moving and turning in degrees. We also made on the the sprite be controlled by the mouse.  We will use these skills in our microbit hackathon on Monday.

Bikeability

We completed level One of Bikeability this week. We had to test our skills to check our bikes, helmets and clothes were safe. before mounting and dismounting correctly.  We worked on different stations for different skills – including pedalling in a zig zag, braking, checking over our shoulder and taking one hand off the handlebars for a high five.  We really enjoyed it.  At the end, we did a slow race to check our control. Cameron won the slow race! Zakir was our sports photographer.

 

 

 

Global Festival

We have explored the languages that we know in the class as part of Global Festival.  We know words in French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Korean, Arabic, Urdu, German, Afrikaans, Japanese, Dutch and Corsican. Three of us turned into teachers to teach others how to write in Arabic.

We watched videos from Crookfur pupils on how to make chapattis, pakora, Anzac biscuits and Indian tea.  We also learned some Bollywood dancing. We finished by playing Konki Noli, a Korean playground game.

The game was harder than it sounded, but all you need is 5 stones.

Did you know that we have family members in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia?  We can cover the whole world from our classroom!

 

 

In PE, We started our house point challenges before Sports Day on Monday.  We did basketball hoops, hulahoop passes and steal ball and three different races.  P5 sports afternoon is Monday – remember your kit!
