Term 3 PE Update

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:

  • Using imagination and responding to different stimuli
  • Travelling, stillness, shapes, jumps and gestures
  • Changing rhythm, speed, level and direction
  • Repeating patterns in movement
  • Showing expression and confidence

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:

  • Players have 3 seconds to pass or shoot
  • Players may take 3 steps only while holding the ball

We also practised moving into space to make successful passes and talked about how handball is a fast‑paced, exciting team game.

Shetland Dance

Primary 7 organised a lovely event for senior wing pupils on Up-Helly-Aa day.  They asked our class and Primary 5 to join them for a dance. We have been doing Shetland dance in our teacher led time so it was great to have the opportunity to dance with other pupils. We all headed to the gym hall and did some Shetland dancing.  Primary 7 partnered up with anyone who needed help with the dancing. They also showed us how to do each dance. It was great fun and a lovely atmosphere! Thank you very much Primary 7!

Up-Helly-Aa

We enjoyed a visit from the Lerwick Guizer Jarl squad.  We had one special visit from a dad and an uncle! It was also great seeing the Junior Guizer Jarl’s galley up close!

Art Lesson

In Art p6 have been learning about the French Artist Claude Monet and have used chalks to recreate his impressionist style.

We started by mixing and blending the chalk to achieve different colours and tones.  We then layered on top of that with more chalk, trying to add different marks to create the impression of detail.

The class have worked very hard and has resulted in lots of beautiful pictures, well done p6!!

We will now be moving on to do a similar thing, but this time using paint.

Christmas Jumper Day

This term we organised  Christmas Jumper Day for our leadership task.

We made posters making pupils aware when Christmas Jumper Day was.

We also organised a swap for anyone wanting to change their old jumper or to get a jumper if they did not have one.

We were so lucky to receive so many jumpers.

Everybody was looking very festive on Christmas Jumper Day!
