We were delighted to welcome Sean Thuis (Esme’s dad) back again for another action-packed, fun session… he did not disappoint! The bairns loved the session on germs and were treated to a fun powerpoint, looking at salt in the microscope (to help show us how small germs actually are) as well as doing a germ game outside! Thanks to Sean for taking the time to come in and share this with us all. We loved it.
It was so lovely seeing so many of you at the Pirate themed Learner Led Event. It was busy (and hot) but was a brilliant afternoon with a lot of happy bairns! Thanks to everyone who came along.
We started the year in PE with a Football block, focusing on building confidence and ability in key skills.
In Primary 1/2, our focus was on developing the fundamental skills needed for football. This included running, stopping, starting, changing direction, spatial awareness, listening, following instructions, responding to cues, and handling equipment with control. We also introduced dribbling and passing with the ball, alongside other activities using different equipment to build coordination and confidence.
Continuing on with Magnets, we had lots of fun using the magnets to attract and repel things. We looked at the north and south poles and what makes them attract and what makes them repel.
On Friday, we had our Big Play. A lovely afternoon where the children could choose where to play and who to play with! A lovely, busy afternoon!
What a busy afternoon! The bairns carried out a variety of different activities… and some even managed to combine both themes into one project!
For our Big Question this week, we have been looking at magnets and did some exploration with them. Lots of fun finding things around the classroom. They also showed me what attracting magnets look like and repelling magnets… they picked this up very quickly.
Our play projects have been capybaras and islands… and the bairns did not fail to impress!
Our plays projects this week are the sea and sloths. The bairns have been busy this afternoon and come up with some fantastic creations.
