During our outdoor P.E slot, we have been focusing on improving our hockey skills. We have been practising holding our hockey stick correctly and passing a ball to our partner. After our lessons, we also get some time on the outdoor gym equipment which we love! This is always a highlight to our Tuesdays!
We have been working on writing letters in class. A few weeks ago, we wrote a thank you letter. We learned how to set our letters out properly, including our school address.
Today, we have been writing letters to a new pen pal. We have made a connection with another school in East Renfrewshire and are writing to pupils in their primary 3 class. This was our first draft today and once we have received feedback from Mrs Stephenson we will re-draft and post our letters.
We loved going to Cineworld and seeing ‘Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile’. We were lucky to get the back row so some of us were able to have a little dance along with the fabulous songs!
Big thank you to our two parent helpers for supporting us on the day 🙂
Well done to A, E & A for earning House Challenge certificates! We loved cheering them on as they were presented at assembly 🙂
Halloween was lots of fun in 3.11. We had our Spooktacular sporting event, had the opportunity to look at all of the fabulous pumpkin creations, listened to a story about a witch’s spell gone wrong and created and shared our own witch/wizard story through Drama.
In Literacy, we are continuing to work on our reading fluency and build on our confidence when reading aloud. Today, some of us paired up with members of our class whilst others were paired with primary 5 helpers. During this time, we took turns reading aloud and discussed the book we have been assigned for homework.
Well done to the previous Hufflepuff group for earning the most points before the holidays. They chose ‘ Lunch with the teacher’ as their reward. It has been lovely to sit together and eat whilst chatting about our day and interests ☺️
Whilst completing our Designers pathway, we explored how paper is made and recycled. From this, we decided to try and make our own paper. We soaked old, shredded newspapers for a few days and this formed a pulp. We then poured the pulp and rolled it out flat, letting it dry. We were delighted that this successfully formed paper ! We loved the messiness of this process 🫣
It was a cold start to our morning today. We went outdoors for P.E, completed our daily mile and ran some relay races.
We have now also changed table to give us the opportunity to work with different members of our class 🙂
We enjoyed our visit to the outdoor classroom where we completed a Health & Wellbeing task. We listened to a story and shared our fears, later drawing these in our jotters. Lots of us were afraid of spiders and the dark! We also discussed what/who helps us if we feel afraid and practised self-regulation strategies to help us feel calm. We will continue to explore our emotions and mindfulness over the coming weeks 🙂
