Today was sports day! Due to the rain we held it in our school gym hall. We all took part in two races – the flat race and the bean bag balance. It was very tricky as we tried to keep the beanbags on our heads.
We all enjoyed taking part in the races and cheering on our classmates.
Last Friday we went to Dams at Darnley for our school trip. We have been looking at our local area as part of our topic. It was a short bus journey and we were all very excited to travel on the bus!
When we arrived our group worked in teams to make a dam out of big stones, small stones and sand. It was quite hard but we worked together and all of us managed to create a working dam. Alison the Park Ranger helped us.
When we had finished we went with Joe another Park Ranger and he took us on a nature trail. We saw lots of bugs and wild flowers. We even saw a swan. We used our magnifying glasses to help us see the small parts of the plants that we had been investigating in class.
Today we wore our sportswear as we all ran a mile to raise money for Malawi. The whole school took part and we hope that we raised lots of money for Malawi.
Here are some photographs of our day!
Adrienne shared a story with us from the New Testament. It was the story of Zacchaeuse. Zacchaeuse was a man who wanted to see Jesus but he couldn’t see him through the crowd so he climbed a tree. Jesus came to Zacchaeuse and spoke to him and had dinner at his house.
During Maths time we used the ipads to practise skills that we have been learning during maths time.
We practised our language skills by taking part in a range of activities. All of the activities let us practise our spelling, writing and sounds.
This afternoon we worked together outside playing in the sunshine. Using some of the equipment required team work, we problem solved with the construction equipment and shapes.
We were also investigating different types of plants. We discussed what they need to grow and how amazing plants are.
We have been taking part in Rugby sessions as part of our P.E. We need to be able to pass the big rugby balls to our team mates. Sometimes we need to run with the ball, looking out for spaces. This has included races, games and small rugby matches. It has been great fun!
Yesterday we had a visit from a farmer as part of our topic. Her name was Catriona. Catriona came to tell us all about being a farmer. She answered lots of our questions and showed us some of the things that she needs to use to help her look after the animals.
Catriona even brought two little lambs. The lambs were two weeks old. We were able to see them having their lunch, a yummy bottle of milk. Catriona has cows and sheep on her farm as well as two horses. We were able to see photographs of the animals and of the tractors and other vehicles that she uses.
