Several of our classes have been learning about Mapping and Coordinates during Numeracy and Maths lessons this term. P7 have extended their map reading skills by taking part in orienteering sessions around the school grounds.
The class have enjoyed their lessons so far and have clearly been able to see how what they learn in class can be useful in the real world!
Today, P1-P7 took part in an Olympic-themed Potted Sports Day. The children worked in House Teams, with each team representing a different Olympic Nation. Some of the events the children were involved in were:
As a bit of fun for the pupils who had worked so hard, the event concluded with a Teachers’ Relay and Parents’ Obstacle Relay, much to the delight of the children.
We would like to thank all of the parents who came to cheer on the young athletes, as well as the children and staff who worked so hard to make the event a success. We would also like to say a special thank you to Mr Griffin and P6 who have worked tirelessly to make our Sports Day a memorable one! We’re already looking forward to next year’s!
This term, Primary 3 have been combining their Outdoor P.E. with Science. The children have been walking to the local park, where they have been looking out for signs of the changing season, clues for wildlife that might be living in the area, and for minibeasts or insects.
The children suggested that we looked for minibeasts in shaded areas, perhaps under rocks. They found a host of interesting minibeasts, and the class were able to identify whether they were insects or not, by examining the tiny creatures closely and counting the number of legs and body segments. When they got back to the classroom, Mr Innes used a Spotter’s Guide to help the class identify the large beetle in the bug viewer as a violet ground beetle (after the children had given their hands a good wash of course!).
