This morning in PE we were supposed to film our final version of our creative dance Uptown Funk but after a quick discussion it was decided by the dance groups that they wanted some more time to practise. Next week, we will definitely film our amazing dances!!

Next week We will looking at time in maths.  This morning we self assessed to see where we should start our work. Each child decided where they should start their work and we have 4 different groups. We also completed our tables test and some of the scores had improved and others were poorer.

Today in P.E. we  learned that playing traditional Games is a great way of having fun and being active.  They are also a great way of learning important skills like communication and team work. By the end of our lesson we were all puffed out !!!

This morning our class was visited by Dr Alisdair Alan (MSP for Learning,  and Scottish Language), Visitors from UNICEF and our Education Headquarters.  The visitors were all very impressed with our work and were complimenting our class.  We were all very excited and Mrs Pollock told us she was very proud of our class.       

Today we looked at the unequal access to nutrition around the world.  Each of us were given a country and we had to line up according to the colour of the country (see photograph).  According to the colour of the country, we started at different starting lines. The wealthy or developed nations were closest to the healthy snacks.  On the signal we had to gather as many healthy snacks as we could.  This activity helped us to see how unfair it was for the least developed nations.

This afternoon we were all very busy getting ready for our visitors on Wednesday.  We are expecting three MSP’s, other guests from the education headquarters and members of the press.  We were finishing our work and getting it up on the wall.  We all started a new display to capture some of our thoughts about The Kid Power Bands.

This morning we charged and synced our Kid Power Bands. At the end of the sync we got a progress report  . Check out our progress report below:

Our class is in third place just now and we have earned 50 food parcels.

This morning we watched Michelle Obama dancing to the song Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson. We then worked in groups to create our own version of the dance.  We are still at the practise stage but we are enjoying this creative dance and will continue it next week.  This lesson helped us to get lots of Kid Power Points

This morning we pretended to write a letter as our parent, explain why we were absent from school. We came up with really ludicrous reasons as to why we were absent.  We had to set out our letter correctly and it was fun to come up with silly illnesses.

This morning Mr MCCrorie distributed all of the Kid Power Bands. We were so excited and determined to gain points. Some children completed a Go Noodle workout during the wet lunch break to earn extra points. Remember to bring your bands back to school tomorrow.
