Another exciting week in the gym with mostly the same equipment as last week. We did have two changes with the ladder being slightly higher and a double bar at the A frame. This week I saw a huge development in skill level and confidence. Well done everybody.
Here we are in action.
We welcomed Eleanor Hutcheon back for our final STEM session and it was all about being engineers. Eleanor set six problems that the groups had to work together to solve. Lots of skills were seen throughout the session including communication, problem solving, creativity, maths skills, team work, leadership and many, many more. What a super morning.
Last week for our big question, we were looking at living things and how we would sort them using flow charts/diagrams and this week was our living things play project… and as always, the bairns did not disappoint. Here is a snapshot of some of the things we got up to!
We had Eleanor back today to look at our senses. We did a lot of things including looking at optical illusions, using magnifying glasses, wearing upside down glasses, using tuning forks… and much, much more!
Eleanor Hutcheon was back to do some STEM work with Botley and the primary 2s and she did not disappoint. The bairns were engaged throughout the whole session where they did some programming, team work and a lot of problem solving! Thank you to Eleanor (and Botley) for a super morning!
In PE we are doing gymnastics, focusing on Confidence and Self-Esteem. Our confidence was definitely challenged today with all the different apparatus out. Here are some pictures of us in action.
The bairns decided to interview a variety of staff within the school to ask them about the different things the school does for the environment. The bairns recorded the adult responses on to a recorder then the primary 2s used their note taking skills to listen for key words and then wrote them up for everyone to see. A lot of fun was had by all.
For our play projects this week we were doing solids, liquids and gases. We had a variety of things from pictures to powerpoints. A lot of hard work – well done everyone.
This afternoon we had a whole school play where the classrooms were all opened up and everyone could explore the different classrooms. Lots of fun was had by all.
We had Eleanor visit us today with a robot called Botley. The primary 2’s were doing Young Leaders with the primary 6’s in the hall so it was a quiet session with the Primary 1’s…who were incredible! We were blown away with how quickly they picked it up but also the suggestions for programming with brilliant. Thanks to Eleanor for coming in. We had a super session!
