At gym this week P3/4 worked in pairs to practise counterbalances and in groups at fitness stations. Our focus is to develop agility, balance, coordination and strength.
Measuring in mm and cm 📐
Primary 3/4 were learning how to measure classroom objects in milimetres and centimetres. We compared our answers and learned that 1cm = 10mm. Next, we are going to learn how to measure in metres.
The Book Buddies Session 3
This week we were going batty for Morag Hood’s story I Am Bat. We wrote about the food we would share with bat and then made our very own bats. Next week is our last session. Feel free to join in the fun!
Digital Leaders
The digital leaders from primary 7 came into our class to teach us about sumdog. They helped us find the app on our IPAD and they showed us how to log in.
Sumdog is a fun app that helps us develop our maths skills.
In our homework folders next week you will find our log in details so that we can log in at home and play some fun maths games.

Balances in gymnastics

Primary 6 gymnastics routines
Primary 6 have been working on using their gymnastics skills in a routine. Today they worked in groups of their own choice. The routines had to include rolls, inversions, round offs, cartwheels, balances and dance.
We ended today’s lesson with a bit of fun.
Our Aims and Values
As part of our School Improvement Plan we are looking at our School Aims and Values.
Thank you to all parents who took the time to read and offer their feedback at our Parent’s Evening last night.
Our next step in this process is to consult with our children and staff to make our aims and values are written in a more child friendly language.
Sign Language
Today as we were reading our class novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom, we recognised that Kensuke and Michael had difficulties communicating. We learned some sign language today and used this to communicate a message to each other.
Aiden: “I found it hard because you can get mixed up with some of the letters”.
Conlan: “I found it quite easy to make the signs with my hand”.
Blayre: “I was able to understand Keelan’s message”.
Gabriella: “It’s really hard to understand your partner”.
Helen: “I found it hard to understand my partner”.
Emilia: “I liked when we were challenging our partners.”
