We had fun celebrating World Book Day in P1/2A.
Some of us dressed up as characters from our favourite books, we shared lots of stories and we had a special World Book Day Book Bug with Mrs Grant.
The P7’s shared stories with us and we read our reading books to them!
We finished Term 3 with a block of badminton, focusing on developing agility, balance and hand-eye coordination.
Term 4 Overview
We are finishing the year off with three activities for four weeks each.
1 – Athletics with Determination and Resilience
2-Skipping with Stamina
3- Rounders with Cue Recognition.
In Music, as part of our World Book Day activities, we learned a song all about the Gruffalo, the lovable character created by Julia Donaldson. We learned the words and the melody first and then added some actions to help us.
Below are slides of each of the four verses and also a little video clip of the class performing.
This week we begin our third four‑week block of PE. So far this term, the class has enjoyed learning dance and handball, and we wanted to share what we’ve been working on.
Dance
In our dance block, pupils explored how to use movement to express ideas. We focused on:
The children had great fun experimenting with creative movement and performing short sequences.
Handball
During handball, we concentrated on building throwing and catching skills and taking part in small‑sided games. Pupils learned some of the key rules of the sport:
We also practised moving into space to make successful passes and talked about how handball is a fast‑paced, exciting team game.
In art p1/2 have been looking at artwork created by the artist Jim Dine.
We were inspired by his paintings of Love Hearts, discussing his use of colour, shapes and texture. We tried to recreate a similar effect with paint when creating our own hearts.
Using hot colours for the heart and cold colours for the background we explored printing by painting on one half of the paper and folding it over to take a print. Once we finished them and they’d had a chance to dry we used chalk to create an outline and add highlights.
Well done, the final pictures are beautiful!

In art P1/2 have been learning about shape and combining materials to create these winter robins. We first looked at shape and how we combine them to create an image of a robin and add a background.
We then tried to control chalks to colour the background and used crayons to colour the robin before adding some glitter.
We all found out that pens do not work very well on top of chalk!!
