Our Bikeability sessions have now ended for this year. Our P6s have done brilliantly over the past 5 weeks, learning new skills to keep them safe when out cycling on the roads.
Well done P6!

We are enjoying spending time together as a new P4/5/6 class, doing the things that we enjoy most.
We have been playing with Lego, making comics, setting up a cafe, reading our books, decorating stones, doing some origami, playing board games and drawing.
Through these activities we are:
I wonder what everyone will enjoy playing with next time!
This morning the whole school had some fun outdoors, watching the staff and P7s playing “Sheet Volleyball” mixed with “Floor is Lava”. Of course, some fancy dress for the staff was a requirement.
It was a close match with each member eliminated if they were the last person off the floor each time the whistle was blown.
Although the P7s lost more of their team mates, they won on the points earned whenever the ball was tossed over and not caught by the staff team on their sheet. Perhaps next year the staff will win…!
Well done to all! What a brilliant way to end the school year.

We had fun in the sun this afternoon during our Playful Minutes time. There were burritos being made in the mud kitchen, balancing and hula hooping skills being developed and of course a game of football being played!
Some chose to stay indoors and play in their restaurant, making us all yummy things to eat as we were playing. I wonder what will be on the menu next week…

We had a lovely time, out and about for Da Voar Redd Up on Wednesday afternoon. The main thing we found were plastic bags and food wrappers.
Thank you to all of the adult helpers with us on the day!

Bones
“This term we have been learning about the human body. We learned about our hands and the tendons used to make them move.
We made hands with string and straws. We drew around our hands, then taped straws to it and threaded string through so that they could move.” Elska P4
The Digestive System
“We put crackers, bananas and juice in a bag and mixed it up by squeezing the bag. This was supposed to mimic the stomach. Then we put some tights over a paper cup and poured in the mixture. Then we squeezed the mixture in the tights.” Elska P4
The tights acts like the small intestines, squeezing out all the nutrients that the body needs and passing on what our bodies don’t need to the large intestine. At the end of the task, we emptied the remaining food in the tights into a cup where it was then pushed out as waste. Some children were delighted to be part of this messy activity, whilst others were glad that it was over!! It was a great way to visualize what is happening inside our bodies when we eat food.
Sound
We have been learning about how sound is made through vibrations and how it travels to our ears so that we can hear it. It was great fun making string telephones to speak with our friends!
On the last day of term we had fun making instruments to show our understanding of vibrations and how to change the pitch of sound.

We were delighted to have a visit for some cute and cuddly guests last Monday. Leva’s Mum took in their new baby rabbits for us to see.
We all had fun stroking, cuddling and feeding them. It was very difficult to say cheerio at home time!
Thanks again to Leva and her Mum for taking them in!

We explored electricity by building circuits this afternoon. We worked in groups to try to light a bulb using the equipment we were given. After that we investigated how to add a switch so that we could stop the flow of electricity in the circuit so that we could switch off the bulb.
We made some predictions about materials which would conduct electricity and it was fun testing them all to see if we were right!

The end of Term 1 is almost upon us! Three of our pupils shared some exciting news with us this week, so we simply had to get a photo to celebrate their achievements.
We are lucky to have such an inviting and comfortable library in our school. What a lovely time we had on Tuesday, relaxing with our books. We hope that P4/5/6 continue to read over the holidays too!
Many of us enjoy being able to choose what we write about in class. It was lovely to see everyone working so hard to achieve their writing targets this week. We sat together on Wednesday afternoon and enjoyed sharing what we had written with everyone. It was fantastic to see how many children were excited to share their writing and give positive feedback to others.
Maths time on Wednesday morning was good fun, playing number games with our friends. We had to remember to take turns and listen carefully to each other.
In the afternoon we spent time building jigsaws in small groups. Some jigsaws were tricky and will need more time to complete, but I know that we have some determined pupils in P4/5/6 who will keep going , even when the task seems impossible!

It was too sunny to do our Maths indoors today!
We have been looking at place value and how larger numbers are constructed. Each hoop represented a digit within a number. We placed the correct number of objects in each hoop to show our understanding of the value of each part of the number.
There is a lot to think about when we talk about the value of each part of a number.
Making 4 digit numbers
It was fun using the hoops for adding sums too.
Rounding numbers to the nearest 10/100/100
