Following on from our recent trip to Taing House, the day-care service users have been making lovely crafted pumpkins for the P5 class as a thank you for visiting them.  What a lovely surprise!  We’re planning more visits in the future.

We have finished the term in PE with fitness.  We learnt about the ‘S’ Factor.  All the components we need to consider to stay healthy start with an S:

• Stamina
• Strength
• Speed
• Suppleness
• Spirit
• Sustenance
• Sleep
• Skill

To celebrate Wool Week, we worked together to make our own friendship bracelets.  We used our collaborative and creative meta skills.  We had fun!

We’re studying 2D shape this term and took the opportunity to head outdoors to look for parallel lines in the school grounds.  We worked in groups, using our collaborative meta skills.  We found lots of things with parallel lines.

As part of our Living Things topic, we headed outdoors to the wildlife area to look for insects and different types of plants.  We used our curiosity and collaborating meta skills.  We found lots of living things, including  worms, spiders and moths.  It was fun!

We visited Taing House Day Care on Friday.  We were invited along to make garden ornaments with the service users.  We chose our equipment and created our own tin person.  We met new people and family members and enjoyed juice and biscuits too!  We focused on our communication and creativity meta skills.  It was fun!  As a thank you, we wrote letters to Mrs Friedlander and her team.  We’ve been invited back, hopefully leading up to Christmas time.  We’re looking forward to that.

In PE we have been doing dodgeball.  We have played lots of new games while focusing on our Balance & Control and Respect & Tolerance.
