We have been learning about drugs as part of our health and wellbeing programme. We now know the dangers that alcohol and smoking can have on our health. We had fun trying on the body suit and looking at how smoke can affect some of our major organs.
Today we celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as one of our favourite book characters. It was great fun! We also enjoyed rotating around classes to listen to the teachers read a story to us. Well done to everyone who took part.
Why not take a look at the website www.worldbookday.com for a variety of interesting stories and fun activities.
We have been visiting the Book Fair daily this week and lots of us have purchased a variety of fun and interesting books. David Walliams was a popular choice as we like listening to Mrs Rooney reading his books for our class novel.
We have been enjoying Fairtrade fortnight by baking some delicious banana sticks for our ‘St Serf’s Banana Bake Off’. We even took home a copy of the recipe to try it out at home. Happy baking!
We are all very excited because our class has tried very hard with their behaviour in order to be given the opportunity to look after a set of chicks. The eggs will be arriving next week and we are busy preparing for their arrival. We will be learning how to care for them and we will need to work as a team to make sure they are comfortable and well looked after. Keep your eyes peeled for regular updates and pictures.
The children have been busy working with a partner to create a stained glass window picture of their favourite Bible story. Look out for their finished creations coming soon.
The children have been learning a series of exercises associated with Bi-Lateral Integration. They have been trying out exercises such as ‘Touch and Lift’ and ‘Body Sequences’ during PE . They are picking it up really well and it’s great fun.
The children have been learning about other world religions as part of the RE Programme. We have been exploring Judaism and they recently enjoyed finding out about important Jewish artefacts.
I was very proud of my class when they recently received a certificate for taking part in the North Lanarkshire Schools Swimming Programme. Well done boys and girls.
The children had great fun using paper mache and paint to create Viking helmets, weapons and shields. I’m sure you will agree that their designs look fantastic.
