The only biggies left on the last day of school decided to make a animation out of clay of something on the game.

I Come From
We have been reading a couple of poems called I come from by Robert Seattar and Dean Atta. We found them on the Breadalbane Academy P7 Poetry Blog where that class has written some poems too.
We wrote our own, they are pretty great:

Banton Biggie Highlights Week Ending 18 Dec 2020
We are having a nice end of term.
We had out Christmas party this week, slightly quieter than usual, as we had to stick to our bubbles. The Biggies managed to enjoy themselves. My favourite part is watching some of the pupils being wrapped up.
Episode 3 of the Banton Biggies Podcast came out this week. The pupils are organising, writing, recording and editing this by themselves.
We have been decorating or tree using or digital and maths skills, 3 D shapes and microbit driven decoration:
We also belatedly joined in the #12sketchesofchristmas and learned a fair bit about using Sketches for School on out iPad.
Steady Hands 2
We took our Micro:bit games a little further today. Working on Game Over animation (we had Y-M-C-A, dancing and dying) and code for losing lives as opposed to counting touches.
The Class also started to think about designing games using the same ideas.

Biggies Litter Pick
As part of our eco schools program the whole school was out and about picking up litter. The biggies were tasked with covering the surrounds of the school and the play park.
Despite the weather we got wrapped up, put on hi vis vests and protective gloves and go busy.
After we got back to class we estimated our weights and weighed our rubbish.
Steady Hands
After working on some basic circuits we had a challenge today. To make a steady hands game.
The class worked really well on this, working in partners, using nearly all of the skill we could thing of. In particular, practical, communication, creativity and problem solving. We ended up with 100% success and 1 very proud teacher.

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!
