As part of our Health and Wellbeing lesson this week, we went outside to try a game that needed us all to work together to make the task work! We had to pass around the ball, without letting it touch the ground or our hands. It also had to touch everyone’s legs, no jumping over! After a few tries, we quickly realised that we had to alter how we sat together and how we passed it on. Our best time was 21 seconds! I wonder if it will ever be beaten?
P.S. Welcome back to Scarlett!
It’s been a lovely first few days back in school! Here are the pupils that we have the pleasure of teaching this coming year! We look forward to getting to know you all!
We are very happy to share with you our P5/6 dance that we created in our class PE time. It’s got a joyful, summertime feel to it…perfect for the start of our holidays. Enjoy… and happy holidays when they come!
Over the past week, we have been putting together a class dance with an African feel! It was a beautiful day so we took our rehearsals outside and managed to run through all the steps as a class. They’ve picked it up really quickly. In the afternoon Fearne’s Mum, Mercyline, met us in the multi court to show us some moves that would be typical in the Sengenya dance and then she helped us add some of these movements into the group sequences that the children created. They had some lovely, creative ideas! We’ll record these dances tomorrow and hope to share our work at the end of term. A big thank you to Mercyline for giving up her time for us. 😊
Today saw the end of Mrs Douglas’ time with us in P5/6. We have very much enjoyed having her work alongside us and wish her well as she continues her training.
Roma and Kathryn were so delighted to receive their letters from their buddies for next year! The pictures are beautiful! They are starting their replies!
Yesterday, our Primary 6 JRSOs had a visit from Police Sergeant Douglas. He came to talk to them about road safety and asked them about their previous JRSO campaign. He let them see the speed gun and explained how it worked. We are very grateful that he gave up his time for us. Please look out for more JRSO work coming in the near future!
For the past couple of weeks, we’ve been building on our understanding of angles – naming them, recognising them, measuring and drawing and using our knowledge to help us work out missing angles. Some pupils wrote out instructions for their peers to use to help them draw angles of different sizes. They then took on the role of teacher, supporting their classmates as they worked and offering advice when needed. The lesson was enjoyed by all and it was clear to see that some pupils had gained in confidence after working in this way. I think we have some future teachers in the class!
Our day today started with Mrs Douglas’ symmetry lesson. The class all concentrated so well on their shapes and patterns. Then it was out into the fresh air to tidy up to the Croft House doing our Redd Up. See the photo of our most unusual find! Then it was reading time followed by a lesson on alliteration. The children made up sentences about their classmates using alliteration and interesting verbs, adjectives and adverbs. After lunch, we recapped on Health & Wellbeing work from last week, relating to naming external body parts. Mrs Douglas made up a fun game that had everybody answering questions and using the correct names. It was a fun and relaxed way to learn. (No Ratings Yet) Loading...
What a busy two weeks we’ve had … but it’s been great! The planned activities have really helped the children settle and reconnect. Today, we finally were able to present our learning about life cycles. We started this piece of work during our biodiversity topic and were due to share our work when we started term 3. Sadly, this had to wait! The children worked in groups or individually, to research the life cycle of a living thing. They then had to display this information in an eye catching way. They worked very hard on this project, with great team work and cooperation. Although it was started a long time ago, I know they’d be keen for you to see their work! Happy Easter and we look forward to seeing you all again in the new term!
The Fairy Wasp’s life cycle only lasts for a few days! Eveline shared so much information about this tiny insect.She did a great job sharing her findings!Fiona and Conor’s oak tree display was very eye catching and made good use of resources from outside too!They told us that a fully grown oak tree can be 45m tall and as wide too!This display was about the panda. It was simple but very effective!Kayla and Roma had some difficult words to read and explain about the early stages of life for the panda. Well done!This bright display was all about the flamingo.Isla and Kathryn worked well as a team. Did you know a baby flamingo’s feathers are grey at the start of life?Esther and Aiden worked on the life cycle of a cheetah. We heard how hard life can be for an adult cheetah so its life span is usually quite short.Esther presented this on her own today and coped brilliantly.Hannah and George found out about the pine tree. There are 126 species of pine tree with more being discovered all the time.Here she is showing off her display.Ethan’s was about the salmon. He wrote about 6 different stages in the cycle!Leighton, Anders and Magnus found out about the life cycle of an eel. We realised there were a lot of similarities to the life cycle of a salmon.Here they are presenting to the class. We liked how they made it look like the eel was emerging from the stones!This display is about the life of an alligator. Did you know a baby alligator has a special egg tooth to help it escape from inside the egg?This group did well to present their findings first!Freya and Fearne confidently told us about their seahorse findings.A newborn seahorse can be as small as 2mm in size! Ava helped this group when she was here too.
