Literacy Week

We had a lot of fun activities for Literacy Week.

ERIC TIME

Every day that week the bell would go and that was a signal for everyone to get their library book and enjoy some time reading time. Nothing is better than having some time with your favourite book!

BOOK FAIR

Mrs Williamson organised a book fair in the library. We got a chance to look at some lovely books, then we could buy them.

DOOR DISPLAY

In Term 1 we read the book Wonder. We decided to use that as the theme for decorating our door.

READING BUDDIES

We went down to P2/3 and shared out favourite books with them. They were excellent listeners and we enjoyed sharing our books.

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.

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!

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.
