Health & Well-being – Primary 1.4

Our final ‘full house’!

We took the opportunity to venture to the pitch for our last photograph of P1.4 altogether. Mrs Stephenson won’t be getting a job at Tempest anytime soon but we love our silly picture!

Today we took advantage of the 3s-7s being at Kelburn and used the gym hall for our P.E time. We set up four stations and worked our way around each. We performed different rolls, jumps and refined our balancing skills.

Eid Mubarak

We have been enjoying learning about Islam during RME and it has been great to hear about the different ways children in 1.4 celebrated Eid. We loved the amazing feast that Jan & the staff in the kitchen put on for us to mark this special occasion and were delighted with the success of the school’s first Eid Bazaar.

It’s all go!

Classroom design

A huge thank you to the boys and girls in P1.4 for their help last week. We decided to move our classroom around and found a lot of mess hidden behind furniture. The class helped me pick up useful resources, bin/recycle rubbish and hoover! We discussed hazards and ensured we were keeping ourselves safe. We love our new classroom layout and will post a picture of the final product next week after a few finishing touches are made.

P.E (Street)

As you will be aware, our Street P.E time has changed from a Tuesday to a Monday. Today we were practising our ball skills and explored different types of passes with our partner.

STEM

As part of ‘STEM fortnight’, we had the opportunity to use the VR headsets in class. We are all very interested in learning about creatures that live in the sea and were able to look at these through our headsets. We saw lots of fish, sea turtles and sharks!

Musicality

Mrs Kelly is continuing to visit us every two weeks for Musicality. Today we were using her rainbow bells which each have a different pitch. We were given turns at being composers and at ringing the bells.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! 🎅🎄

Here are a few snaps from our Christmas Party yesterday and our visit from a very special guest! 🎅 Check out our video of Beck and Gladys – our future Strictly Come Dancing professionals! Grace and Archie were also excellent!

It’s safe to say fun was had by all, and excitement levels are off the scale. Mrs S and I are ready for lie down 🤣. Have a lovely Christmas with family and friends. See you next year!

1.4 Update

December

At the beginning of December, we loved decorating our class Christmas tree and showed excellent teamwork whilst assembling it 🙂

Nativity

We have been practising lots for our upcoming Nativity show. We are doing really well even though our song has lots of words to learn. One week left of rehearsals and then you will get to come and see us perform. Woohoo! Please practise with us at home if you can.

Topical Science

It has been very cold lately and in the past week temperatures dropped to -10 through the night. We wanted to see if objects would freeze in water if left outside overnight and all predicted this would be successful. We were right! We discussed which of the objects floated and which sunk and also tried to problem solve the fastest way to set the objects free.

We briefly went outside to look at our playground and discuss how to be safe on frosty days, paying close attention to ice on the ground. We quickly snapped a picture then went back inside to get cosy.

Christmas Fayre

Thank you for purchasing our Christmas crafts. We were able to choose whether we wanted to make a reindeer, Santa or a snowman and demonstrated excellent gluing and cutting skills. The money raised by primary 1 will go towards resourcing play in our classrooms 🙂

Chalktastic!

The pitch is currently closed whilst work is being completed so today we were unable to get onto it for Outdoor P.E. Instead, before heading for our P.E lesson in the street area we went to our playground. We had the opportunity to play in our outdoor roleplay area with friends or we could use the chalk to draw pictures beginning with the sounds the teacher called out. It got a little messy but we loved it!
