We have been learning all about information handling. We have been learning to read and understand picture graphs. As a class, with Miss Martin’s help, we created a picture graph to show our eye colours.
Basketball
We were learning how to pass and bounce a basketball with the P7 young leaders this morning.
We have been working with the young leaders to experience some of the Commonwealth sports.

“I liked doing the chest pass.” Bethan
Gymnastics Event

This was an amazing opportunity for the children to use some of the equipment within this excellent facility!
I really enjoyed walking on the bar – Ruby
We got to jump into a pit filled with bits of material – Tyler
I liked swinging on the rings – Codi
It was fun to jump on the big trampoline – Amy

Numeracy – Time
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the days of the week, months of the year and how to tell analogue and digital o’clock times.
We have all been really successful with this maths topic and enjoyed creating our own clocks to use for show me time games and partner work.
Myself and My Family Topic
As part of our new topic this term we have been learning about hygiene. We have been learning how to wash our hands, keep germs away and how to look after our teeth.
To help us with our topic Mrs Cooper (Grace’s mum) kindly came into our class on Friday the 7th of February to tell us all about her job as a dental hygienist. We had great fun learning about how to look after our teeth with Mrs Cooper. She taught us about plaque (we made furry teeth with cotton wool), how to brush our teeth properly (with the help of her puppet), about foods that are good for our teeth and foods that are not so good and finally about how much sugar you can find in some of the foods we eat.
We even got some special stickers and a colouring in sheet for working so hard!
Here are some photos of the activities that we took part in:
Christmas Party
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our class Christmas Party and we all looked very smart in our party clothes.
Our visit from Santa was very exciting!
