Primary 3/4 have just finished their novel, Pugs of the Frozen North. We created a mind map of the key events of the story. Then we sequenced these events so that we could remember the order of the story.
Louise: “Using this list we made a map.”
Mia: “The map will help us remember what happened in the story even when we have not read the book in a few years.”
Milosz: “At the start of the lesson I didn’t know that making a map could be such fun!”
Alan: “I need to improve my handwriting.”
Dominik: “I can now explain to somebody else a summary of our story.”
Today we celebrated Pancake Day. We watched a video all about how to make a pancake and we were able to list the ingredients. We worked together as a class to come up with the first two steps in the recipe and then finished the task independently. Just before home time, we joined together with Primary 2 and we even got to eat a pancake.
Yesterday our class was very lucky to receive a visit from Pro Judo.
Jack taught us some Judo moves and even some Japanese words!
Mia: “It was fun but at little scary at times.”
Leon: “It was fun and funny because people got flung and I am going start Judo!”
Leon: “The Judo was very awesome and we learned about Japanese words!”
Steven: “I didn’t like it because I got flung on the ground but it didn’t hurt.”
Alexander: “When we were doing the Judo Jack showed me a move where he flipped me onto the mat. I would quite like to do it again. It was a bit frightening.”
Sara: “I liked it when he flipped me down because it was pretty funny.”
Last week we welcomed our new class of Spanish Students from our feeder nurseries. We looked at the Spanish Flag and we made our very own Spanish Flags. We even had a go at saying hello and goodbye in Spanish.
This morning we had a very special visitor in primary 2. Jack taught us some Judo 🥋. He also taught us to say some words in Japanese as Judo comes from Japan 🇯🇵 .
Shae – I was excited to help Jack with some Judo moves.
Today we had a quick introduction to Judo from Jack. We learned how to sit like a Judo player and responded to some Japanese commands. We had a go at some simple moves and ended by playing monkey tig.
Samuel- I liked playing monkey tig, it was so fun.
Aleksander- I liked the mat and we had no socks on.
Today the p7 and p1 class paired up for some ‘buddy gym.’ We worked together to set up a few different stations- we had a gymnastics station, football station, throwing station and tennis station. The p7s were very good at demonstrating and supporting the p1s, and the p1s worked so well and listened carefully to their helpers.
P7 have asked if we can do this again. We will work in groups to plan really efficient lessons and then will teach these to our buddies.
Take a look at our beautiful Chinese Dragon! Primary 2/3 and 3/4 worked together to create this masterpiece. This artwork will be submitted to the Inspired Exhibition at the Tannahill centre. We are all so proud of it!
