Basketball Skills
Primary 6 & 7 have been working on their basketball skills with Miss Meechan. This week she asked them to make some videos to show what they have been learning.
We were working on self awareness, dribbling, shooting and working with others.
We played King of the Castle to warm up. King of the Ring helps with awareness and ball control and defence. Aim practise from different angles. One on One helps with defending and attacking, you don’t stop.
We also played no-net basketball, where a person is a net!

About her job
Yesterday we had a meeting with a tv producer called Christine. She was helping us with a few tips for our podcasts. She told us she didn’t just work for just the one company and she is now working on editorial. Editorial is when you focus on what’s the story, what’s the program. Some of the jobs that are need where she works are camera men and sound engineers.
Tips for us
One of the tips she gave us was to get it done on time and be organised. Also she said to spread the time apart and not just spend it on the one subject. The second tip was scheduling and that it takes them a day to get a five minute program done. The third tip was make sure your communicating with people. Fourth tip was if your a script person to focus on the beginning, middle and end and if your the one speaking speak like your speaking to a friend.
Biggie Highlights of the Week 23 Oct 2020
The Biggies showed amazing creativity early this week:
We have had a couple of maths stars, Alfie decided to up his game with division 812352 divided by 6
And Alice has become a speed demon at multiplication.
Ben showed his amazing general knowledge in a quiz, answering more questions than the rest of the class put together!
Lastly we have a pupil working from home today and making a really good job of keeping up with the rest of the class in Teams.
Creativity from a Triangle
The biggies were given a sheet of paper with a triangle on it and the instructions “Complete the Artwork”
Half an hour later we had a wide range of really creative ideas:
Then we discussed the “Creativity Skills” of Open Mindedness, Curiosity, Imagination and Problem Solving. We could identify where we had used each of these skill making out pictures.
We got the idea after Mr Johnston saw this video when there is a correct answer Exercise in creative thinking – YouTube
Raven Poems
We saw a couple of ravens flying high above our playground last week. The Biggies have been reading poems in The Lost Words again. After reading The Raven we watched some youtube videos of Ravens flying:
We then wrote our own poems in the Kenning form.
The class created a huge list of verbs to describe what ravens do and adjectives to describe them. We turned our verbs into nouns to write the kennings.
Clever Never Goes
All the children in the school have been learning about Clever never goes about the dangers of ‘going off’ with someone.
The Biggies made resources for the younger children in the school to help teach them. We made 3 videos and an animation and sent them to the younger classes. They gave us some great feedback.
