Fun day

Hey!

We had a great day today with a visit from the fire brigade and a shot on the bouncy castles.  What a treat.

Over the last month we’ve been non stop with Sports Day(see Google classroom for photos), the School show (see twitter) and our mural which will be unveiled early next term.

Gymnastics

We have been completing a block of gymnastics using various equipment to further our skills. We’ve been working on rolls, jumps and balance.

We’ve been using the ‘runway’ to work on forward rolls, backwards roll, cartwheels and balances.

We’ve been practising our balance and coordination.


We’ve also been working on various jumps including landing safely from a height.

Throughout the block we were able to identify areas we wanted to work on and also skills we wanted to celebrate. Children have demonstrated good progress in their gross motor skills. They have also shown Bravery, Creativity, increasing independence, resilience and curiosity.

Symmetry

In class we have been working on mirror reflections and making symmetrical patterns.

We also created our own mirror reflection flowers and created symmetrical butterflies.

We created cards using our symmetrical butterflies.

Over the next few days we will be working on lines of symmetry in shapes.

Local Farming: Milk and Cheese

This week we have looked at farms a little closer to home. We have been learning about Dairy farms.
We talked about the process of milking the cows and then how the milk might be used.
Some of the children were surprised that milk is a key ingredient in cheese.

Next we had a cheese taste test.


There were mixed reviews across the board. Cheddar and Edam were the most familiar and popular cheeses. We also tried Feta and learned that feta is made from sheep and goats milk.

I was very impressed that many of the children had a try of the cheeses! Well done P2.

Later this week we’ll be participating in a live lesson as part of British Science Week about farming.

Blocks

During March we are focused on the learner disposition of Creativity. Fortunately we have the perfect new resource to exercise our creative powers.
Our new building blocks provide lots of creative opportunities whilst also helping us to develop gross motor skills, explore scientific concepts, work cooperatively with others, invent stories and imagine characters.

Riverside Museum

Transport workshop

At the workshop we thought about how our transport is powered.
We had a good knowledge of horse, steam, electric and wind powered transport.

We sketched the penny farthing and identified the differences and similarities to this bike and our own.

We also learned that the name penny farthing refers to the similarity of the wheels to the coins of the same name.

Then we went to the tram. It had no glass in the windows. This design was only used in Glasgow for 8 years. Can you guess why?

Then we visited the Horse and cart and had another sketch challenge.

We found out the horse powered transport made the streets very smelly.

Next on the subway we found out that Glasgow has the third oldest subway in the world. Have you been on it?

Then we found glider which is wind powered.

The glider was inspired by bats. The first working glider was built by Percy Pilcher, who lived in Glasgow.

Ella Pilcher, his sister was a seamstress. She sewed all the parts of the glider.
They tested the gliders in Helensburgh.

They flew for 7 seconds.

Then we went to the workshop and made our own transport creations.

 

We also had time to explore.
