P.E. Information and Homework

Hi!  I hope you had a lovely long weekend and are looking forward to the next 2 weeks of learning before the October holiday. 

 

PE Days with effect from Monday 7th September 2020 | Whitefield Primary School

  • After the October holidays Primary 1 will have a session of outdoor P.E. on a Wednesday . Children are asked to come to school in a pair of jogging bottoms/leggings on this day as well as trainers suitable for taking part in P.E. outdoors. 
  • Also after the October week Primary 1 will be starting one indoor P.E. Yoga session per week.  This will be on a Friday.  Children can come to school in jogging bottoms or leggings on this day also.  They will not require a change of shoes for Yoga as we will be doing it in our socks or tights.
  • Children should wear their normal school uniform on the top half (polo shirt/shirt/jumper/cardigan).

Emotions Tuesday 22nd September

We have been learning about emotions in health and well-being. We have been reading ‘The Colour Monster’ by Anna Llenas.

The Colour Monster: Amazon.co.uk: Llenas, Anna: Books

We have been discussing our emotions and exploring what makes us feel certain emotions, and how to use strategies to help us deal with challenging emotions.
We used play dough and whiteboard pens to create facial expressions to represent different emotions.

Watch the Colour Monster being read on You Tube:
