John Muir Trip to Kergord

On Friday 19th November, P7 enjoyed their first Outdoor Day for the John Muir award they will be doing this year.  They went to the “wood that thinks it’s a forest” in Kergord and had a great day exploring.  As well as building shelters, they learned to make fire with a flint, the importance of “leaving no trace” and how to appreciate the benefits of getting in touch with Nature.  Many thanks to the SIC Outdoor Team for taking us out.  A selection of photos from the day can be seen below.  Pete Richardson has also sent a link here for his photos.

 

Young leaders

Danny Peterson has been doing a course about leadership with us for 6 weeks. Since this is the last week we got to deliver 4 games to the primary threes. We were split into our table groups and we thought of games for them to play.

The we came up with were Dungeon Catchies, Cups and Saucers, Random Octopus and an Obstacle Course.

We started with getting set up after playtime inside at the canteen. The first group set up an obstacle course made out of soft play and a tunnel.

The second group did Cups and Saucers in the canteen. They used bibs and cones for the game. It ended up being a draw.

The next group had to go outside because it was time to set up the canteen. The third group played Random Octopus.

The last group did dungeon catchies. They used cones to make the dungeon and bibs for the catchers. The Primary Threes found it to easy so the group made the area smaller.

The Primary three’s liked all the games and we enjoyed being leaders.

Spelling

Active Spelling

For spelling we had different activity. We went out side to play to play with the huff and puff. We said a letter passed the netball, kicked  the football and threw and cached the ball.

We did spelling on the laptops like spelling city and we went on word and did different fonts and colors and sizes.

We got to pick from colorful letters and hangman. For colorful letter you got  colored pens and pencils and  highlighters.  Hangman we used white boards and do a hangman with your spelling letters.

Power point presentations

On Thursday we presented our Power Points about an area of the decades ( 1950’s, 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s and the 1990’s. ) We had to do this section of our topic in pairs and had about three lessons to research, prepare and practice them.🙂🤩😱🐺🐧

On the scary day we had to present the masterpieces to the class and we all got some feedback, and some things to improve on.
