Mr Atkinson’s comment:
If possible can pupils please bring spare cardboard to class next week to allow them to construct a variety of tourist attractions from different cities as part of their Euros 2024 & Paris Olympic Games topic. I have also asked the children to get permission from adults at home for bringing in a small toy figurine to class that they can use in their Stop Motion activities. Please do not worry if they do not have one, we will accommodate this. Pupils also had a great time on Friday at the Celebration of Achievement assembly in Eastwood High School. With Sports Week coming up please read the Weekly Round Up for information about uniform.
Literacy and English
Mrs Jamieson visited us this week and explained the role of the P1 Buddies and what to expect. We discussed about the importance of being a role model and showing the school values. Mr Jamieson also reassured us that sometimes our Buddies will want to play with their friends which is also okay. After her visit, we drafted and typed our P1 Buddies letter which had to include some information about ourselves, a description of Crookfur and a memory of our time in P1. Mr Atkinson also took our photograph and has uploaded it onto our Google Docs which he will print off.
In our Grammar lesson we discussed and learned how nouns can act as adjectives and what compound words are.
Numeracy and Maths
Some of us have been revising what fractions look like and how to simplify and make them equivalent. We have also been recording times to the nearest minute using to and past as well as writing numbers up to 10,000.
Health and Wellbeing
On Monday during P.E. we competed in our very own Olympics! We took part in a range of stations such as shot put, javelin and discus throwing as well as relay racing and jumping over hurdles.
In the MUGA some of the primary two pupils joined us. Our classed helped to familiarise the younger children with some of the potential Sports Day activities. We all had a brilliant time modelling and managing each station and hope to use these skills next year as a P1 Buddy!
IDL – Olympics and Euros 2024
We carefully looked at medals from previous Euros and and Olympics and then drew and coloured our own.
Science
With Mrs Scoular we had a fantastic time making volcanoes and then exploding them!
Outdoor Learning
Building on our knowledge of habitats, we researched how land is impacted by humans and climate. We then sketched how habitats change over time and listed the reasons as to why this can happen.
