This week was health week. The theme was the Commonwealth. We were split into 3 groups called, Canada, Brilliant Britain and Fiji. Then we made our own team badge and slogan. We have earned team points all week!!

Primary 4/5 (Snack Attack) have organised and ran tuck this week selling fruit, smoothies and other healthy snacks.

On Monday we all walked up the track and back before lunch. It was a lovely day so we got a great view of the school. In the afternoon we were visited by Pauline from Tesco. Pauline brought food from all around the Commonwealth. For example tea from Sri Lanka, noodles from Singapore and grapes from South Africa and many more. We then had music with Mrs Inglis learning songs from all over the Commonwealth.

On Tuesday we were back in our groups going round 3 stations – Aboriginal art-inspired printing with Miss Watt, Commonwealth flags with Mrs Taylor and Commonwealth Values with Mrs Harrison.  P1-4 also had a visit from Penicuik First Responders who taught them about first aid.

We have been miming golf, tennis, going to bed, saying hi to our Neighbours.Mime is drama and you do not speak . I liked doing the golf.

In block 4 maths we were learning graphs. We have learnt to make lots of graphs about food that p4\5 liked but first was drinks that p4\5 liked. but we also learnt about money.

This Health week we have been working in groups to learn about the comonwealth  games which are in Australia this year. The groups were called Fiji, Canada and Brilliant Britan.  The groups where great and we all enjoyed it.

We made Australian pictures, we looked at the flags of the Comonwealth and the values of the comonwealth.

This block we have used money to help us get ready so we are able to know how to use money for 4/5 snack attack.

This block we opened up a company called 4/5 Snack Attack.We sell a lot of healthy snacks like smoothies,fruit mix,packet of bread sticks,Mellon slice and backed crisps. In this company we all have different jobs I am a food preparer which means I do a  lot of chopping.

Over 2 days the best seller has been the SMOOTHIES we sold  over ten each day.

We started our Health Week with a lovely walk in the spring sunshine. We were all very impressed with how well the children walked and it was even warm in the sun.

We have learnt about the Commonwealth games as this is our focus this week and Mrs Inglis taught us all some great songs from some of the countries in the Commonwealth.

Primary 1-4 learnt to do some First Aid with our visitors who are First Responders from Penicuik. They put a friend into the recovery position and tried CPR on their teddies. On Thursday Primary 5-7 will have a morning of First Aid with Mrs Pye.

Primary 4 and 5 have enjoyed running the tuck shop this week and would like to thank Gemma, Jonathon and Finlay for letting them do this.Smoothies have been a big hit and they have enjoyed watching their pennies grow. They are hoping that they will have sold enough to pay Mrs Taylor the loan of £20 that they had to borrow to get their business started.

We are only half way through our Health week so there is lots more fun to come.
