P1 are developing their teamworking skills in PE and in the classroom. They had to take turns to collect jigsaw pieces before completing the jigsaw puzzle as a team. I was so proud of your great effort today! 😀

This Week in P1
Maths
We had great fun learning all about the number 4. We used the iPads, Lego and paint. We also did a super job at helping Miss Scott to tidy up after all of our hard work.
Reading
We loved using finger torches during our reading lesson. We shone the light on the words as we read them and this helped us to follow the text.
PE
In PE we worked very hard to move our bodies in a controlled way through Bilateral Integration activities. We gently tapped our partner’s arms or legs and they had to lift the limb that was tapped. This is also helping us with our concentration and our ability to follow instructions.
UEFA Euro 2016
Primay 5 took part in their own Euro 2016 football tournament in PE today. The boys had a French, Welsh and English team competing in the tournament. Whilst the girls had a Welsh, Italian and French team taking part. All players showed some impressive skills and were all very competitive!
P1a’s Busy Day!
Today all children did a great job at sports day, particularly in the bean bag race! 🏃🏽
They also made some seed packets and filled them with bee friendly flower seeds. They used the remainder of the seeds in the playground planters (after weeding them of course). 🐝🌸

P2 & P2/3 Awesome Athletics
Primary 2 and 2/3 have started learning skills to use during athletics activities. We have tried hurdles, long jump, shotput, relay races and sprinting. We are looking forward to improving our skills!
Primary 5’s First Week Back
Primary 5 have loved learning about our new topic- The Rainforest and Deforestation. We enjoyed looking at the 4 layers of the Rainforest- the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory and the forest floor.
We have been making the most of the sunshine in PE. We worked together to measure how far we could jump in long jump. There are definitely some aspiring Olympic Athletes in the class!
