Room 6 Superstars Take on the Fun Run

There was magic in the air—and a fair bit of dust on the trainers—this morning as our Primary 2 classes took to the field for our School Fun Run.

The weather played along beautifully, providing just enough sunshine to keep spirits high and a cool breeze to keep our runners from overheating. It was a day filled with determination, cheers, and more than a few “sonic speed” sprints!

A Crowd to Cheer Them On

We were absolutely delighted to see such a fantastic turnout from our parents and carers. Seeing you all lined up along the fence with your loud cheers really gave the class that extra boost of energy.

The atmosphere was electric as the P2s lined up at the starting line. There were some nervous giggles, a few competitive stretches, and a whole lot of excitement. From the moment the horn blew, the children gave it their absolute all, navigating the course around the school grounds with massive smiles on their faces.

The Hero’s Welcome

Crossing the finish line is a big deal when you’re six or seven years old, and we made sure our runners feel like champions. Every single participant was greeted with:

Shiny Participation Medals: To commemorate their hard work and school spirit.
Healthy Snacks & Water: To refuel those tired muscles.
High-Fives Galore: From staff and cheering classmates.

A Huge Thank You

A massive well done to all of our class for showing such resilience and sportsmanship. Whether they sprinted the whole way or enjoyed a steady jog with their friends, they represented the school perfectly.

We also want to extend a huge thank you to Mrs Sheed and the other staff members who helped coordinate the event and hand out the well-deserved treats at the end.

With our topic being Australia, we created some Aboriginal art. We used stencils to draw round animals like a kangaroo, emu, snake, turtle or platypus. Then we used the end of our paintbrushes to dot around our animal to create bold art. We think they turned out great!

Some of our other art this week was creating habitat displays. We used a massive piece of paper and everybody had to draw or make their own animals in their Australian habitat. These habitats were the Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, grasslands and rainforests. We could use anything we liked to create the displays, so long as we worked well together to create them.

We’ve been doing discursive writing and the discussions in class have been interesting because everything thinks different things. This week we had two questions to choose from to write about:

Should you be allowed to reserve sun loungers on holiday?
Should children be made to do chores around the house?

Most of us chose to write about the sun loungers! We all had very different opinions on this but around half of us agreed you should be able to reserve them, and the other half thought you shouldn’t!

Today we’ll be rounding off a great week with the sponsored fun run at 10:00! We can’t wait!

Symmetrical Tuesday in Room 5

Today in Room 5, we have been learning about symmetry. Here are our learner statements.

Alice: Symmetry is when you half something down the middle and you have two equal parts.

Beth: We were using objects to make symmetrical towers.

Heidi: Sometimes it is hard to make things symmetrical.

Xayah: I liked creating my symmetrical butterfly as my jotter task.

Ollie: We used rulers to measure things to see if they were symmetrical.

Eilidh: I liked building a symmetrical tower with the stickle bricks.

Alex M: We were using cardboard boxes to make symmetrical buildings.

Fraser: I was using the lego to make a symmetrical.

Violet: I enjoyed making a symmetrical tower with the lego.

Emmeline: I was making a building with the loose parts.

Sam: We were learning about symmetry.

Calvin: Symmetrical is when something is the same on each side.

Alice: If you get a shape and half it down the middle and it isn’t the same on both sides, that means it’s asymmetrical.

Ethan: We used the stickle bricks to create a building.

Room 8

Good afternoon from room 8! We now have 5 fully grown caterpillars, and we predict that they will all be settled into their cocoons by Monday. We have had so much fun recording their growth each day and we can’t wait to have pet butterflies. We are already thinking about how much we will miss them when they have to go! We have also been working on consolidating our sounds and we are beginning to look at persuasive writing. Currently we are writing to convince Mrs Meechan if we should keep homework or get rid of it. What do you think and why? As you may know, we have been looking at the future for our current topic and this week we designed our own futuristic robots which we then made come to life through different methods of creation. One of our ideas were a teacher robot who had multiple heads to teach lots of pupils different things at once!!!

Just a reminder that parents night is on Thursday and we have our sponsored fun run on Friday!

DP – Some of us were talking about the World Cup and we were singing songs at the assembly in the lunch hall. In class, we looked at the Scotland football strip for the World Cup. We looked at all the countries who were taking part in the World Cup. We put some of the football kits that we made on our IDL wall.

MM – There are 48 countries that are taking part in the World Cup. We went to our ‘sharing assembly’.
