Good morning and happy new year!
Below is today’s home learning grid with some activities that can be completed today. Most importantly, I hope you have lots of fun in the snow.
Art Lesson
In art P7 have been looking at the artist Jaqueline Hurely. We have tried to recreate her style using paint, charcoal, chalk and charcoal pencils. Using these materials we have focused on creating texture for the background before drawing out a silhouette image.
The final effects are beautiful, very thought provoking.
Week 5 Gymnastics – Equipment

- Trampette – For safe, controlled jumps and landings.
- Double Bar – Ideal for upper body strength and coordination.
- High Ladder – Encourages climbing skills and confidence.
- High Bench – Adds variety for balancing and creative movement.

PE – Week 2 Gymnastics
Rolls, Handstands and Cartwheels
Term 2 PE – Gymnastics
This term, all pupils will be taking part in gymnastics, starting with mat skills and progressing to apparatus work. Gymnastics is a fantastic way for children to develop confidence, coordination, and strength while working at their own level.
Mat Skills Focus:
- Balances
- Jumps
- Rolls
- Handstands
- Cartwheels
Apparatus Focus:
- Pupils will explore different equipment setups
- They’ll be encouraged to create their own ways of moving from one side to the other
This approach supports creativity, problem-solving, and physical literacy.
Everybody loves this term in the gym, so I’m sure their will be plenty to talk about when they get home.
PE Reminder
Please ensure pupils:
- Come dressed appropriately on PE days
- Have appropriate footwear. Now that the weather is changing, footwear can be changed before PE.
- Have hair tied up
- Remove jewellery and watches before the session
