Hello and welcome to our Class Blog. Our teacher is Mrs Hussain :)
Primary 7 had a fantastic day learning how to keep themselves safe, through a variety of activities at Safety in the Park!
The weather did not stop us from having fun!
Today we did an activity using a polo mint and thread that blew our minds. Let’s see how many parents/siblings are blown away!
We learned all about our mindset and how we can change our mindset.
Today P7a nd P7b worked together to develop their passing and dribbling skills during outdoor P.E.
This week we had our last lesson of our bikeability topic.We also had our theory test to predict if we passed or not.Thanks to our expert bikeability skill the entire class passed with more than 15+ in our test and solid monouvering got us past bikeability level 2. We all had great fun over the course the 8 lessons of bikeability.Some people were invited to do bikeability level 3 if it is going to be carried out in our school. in bikeability we learned some monouvres like right turn,left turn,starting and stopping,emergency stop,passing parked cars and making a U-turn.Bikeability was a great experience for us all and we will take it into the future. we did our m-checks and check our helmet that it wouldn’t fall of. We went on a busy road and normal road .
Active Schools are hosting a World Cup celebration afternoon at Whitecraigs Rugby Club this afternoon. We are moving round stations to participate in archery, judo, tennis, football, rugby aerobics and cricket activities. Schools from all over East Renfrewshire are taking part. Most importantly; we are having a ball!
Throughout May we took part in a creativity challenge at Mearns Primary. We worked with pupils from other schools to design an outfit with a science theme. We then used some of our technology skills (but mostly glue guns) to make the outfit. We also had movie editors and directors, a script writer and a narrator and a model. We put on a catwalk show for parents last Friday at Mearns Primary. Have a look at their twitter account for more photos!
We have been having lots of fun in Bikeability. We have learning lots of manouveres. Like left turns and right turns. Or passing parked cars and u-turns. We have also been allowed to try different roads and junctions. With cars behind us some of the time to realize how safe you have to be. We just started doing u-turns when it was a clear road. You have to make sure your bike is completely safe by doing a M-check. A M-check is a series of tests your bike has to go through before riding on a road.For you to understand bikeability you have to practice at home. You try busy roads nd not so busy roads you you get a taster of whats its like too ride on the road. If its raining we still have to still do bikeability, which is quite disappointing. Here are some photos:
We have had a very exciting and busy day at Sky Academy creating trailers for horror movies. We were organised into four groups. We each had a studio to plan a storyboard and film scenes for our trailers. We used our communication skills effectively to work together while developing our technology skills too. We then had a special shoeing of our trailers on the big screen. These will come home today on our own usb sky bands. They are amazing. If you don’t like being scared do not watch them on your own with the lights out…you’ve been warned!
 
 
With two bikeability sessions under our belts P6a is ready to venture out on to the road. We will be doing this the week after next, as the class are not in school on Tuesday (it is an in service day for staff). We are learning how to travel safely on our bikes and how to indicate our intentions to other road users.
Keep studying your bikeability books as there will be an assessment of your road rules soon!
This morning we visited the Diversity Day stalls. It was informative and fun. We learned about many different religions and cultures that can be found in our community. There were quizes, sample stalls, activities, artifacts and more. We practiced picking up tiny items with chops sticks, learned how to write our names in chinese, created scratch art linked to easter, enjoyed Irn Bru, sampled apples in dipping sauce, tried turbans and bindi, looked at school books from Denmark and much more. We really enjoyed our morning!
