Primaries 4/5 and 5/6 enjoyed a joint PE session today as they were introduced to the concept of Target Games. After discussing this with the pupils and having a warm up, Mrs Fisher and I decided to introduce a baton relay. This was to reinforce the importance of concentration and hand and eye co-ordination. All pupils really enjoyed this and we found that their existing skills were very good and so future lessons will concentrate on developing and refining their knowledge and skills even further. An exciting block of Target Games ahead for us all!

Celebrating Success in P1
Big Maths, Beat That
P2 had great fun preparing for the ‘Big Maths, Beat That’ challenge before quickly focusing on their ‘Learn Its’ I was very impressed with the determination and concentration well done everyone.
P2 and the Learning Dip
Primary 2 have been discussing “The Learning Dip.” This is a point in your learning when you get stuck and think something is too hard. However, the boys and girls of P2 have learned about strategies to get back out of the Learning Dip.
Ben L – “To get out of the dip, you have to try and try again.”
Freya – “To get better, you need to reflect on your work to see how to improve it.”
Below is a link to the Class Dojo discussion videos so you can discuss them more at home!

Practising our Tables
Primary 4 had great fun using a variety of different websites to help them learn their table facts. Using interactive games helped them to consolidate, and extend, their knowledge about table facts. They had to provide answers to given questions in a limited amount of time. This gave them a double challenge, accuracy and speed, which they loved.
Congratulations Primary 4.
