Mr Atkinson’s comment:
Despite the weather I hope everyone enjoyed Sports Day for those who could attend! Next week I will sending home some work which you can keep at home. Thank you for the cardboard donation, we will be using it next week to help with constructing country landmarks. The pupils also had a great time taking part in the ‘Beat the Staff Goalie’ with 18 scoring goals into myself!
Literacy and English
We finished editing our P1 Buddies letters and we are planning to decorate them when Mr Atkinson prints them off.
We have started to plan for our final writing lesson which will be creating an imaginative story from the perspective of either a football player in the Euros or an athlete competing in the Olympics. To organise our ideas and notes we used mind maps and drew storyboards.
Numeracy and Maths
Some of us have been learning how to order fractions, find a fraction of a number and how to multiply by 2. We have also been revising adding and subtracting up to four digits using exchanging and carrying. We have also become more confident with converting times into both 12 and 24 hour time.
Health and Wellbeing & Sports Day
Even though it rained a little we had a great Sports Day and enjoyed watching the adult and class races! A basketball coach also visited our school and delivered a session to us that involved different ways of dribbling around cones.
In P.E. we worked in groups to plan our entries for the East Renfrewshire Active Schools Keepy Uppy Challenge! We had to be very creative and use our Growth Mindset when performing our ideas.
IDL – Olympics and Euros 2024
As part of Sports Week we have been taking part in Euro themed lessons with a focus on Italy as this is the country were were allocated! First we learned how to perform some traditional dances such as ceilidh dancing and the Italian Tarantella. We also tried speaking in Italian and we created rainbows and labelled them with colours written Italian. We also designed new Scotland football strips by looking at past examples and we researched information about Italy which we used to design bunting that has been placed around the school.
