Term 4: Curriculum Information
Please click on the link below to see what we are learning about this term:
Easter Trail
We have been learning about the skills of collaboration and how we can work together to help get jobs done.
We worked together in pairs in the Wildlife Area to find the hidden Easter Egg pictures. We counted the different pictures on them and took turns to record the answers and solve our Easter Egg puzzle.
Steady beat & rests in music
We have been developing our sense of steady beat and using tuned/untuned percussion to mark rests in music. Two songs that we have learned are Bell Horses and Hob Shoe Hob.
The heart above the words represents the beat of the song and we have learned that sometimes there are also gaps in music called ‘rests’. It’s important for us to count those beats and in these two songs, we’ve used body percussion and untuned percussion to show where the rests are. Below are two videos of the class singing Bell Horses with triangles and chime bars to mark the rests.
Puddle fun!
We don’t care what the weather man says, when the weather man says it’s raining!
We made sure we stayed warm and dry while we jumped up and down in puddles in the playground by wearing waterproof clothing.
Fairy Cakes
Walk to the burn
We are learning about Planet Earth and how it is made up of water and land.
We went for a walk to the nearby burn because we were curious to see where it ended… the sea!
Buddying with P7
The P7s have been teaching the P1s some Scottish dances. We have learned how to do the Virginia Reel and the Boston Two Step. It’s been a lot of fun!
Dogs Against Drugs visit
Two police officers, Michael and Megan visited our class to introduce the new Dogs Against Drugs puppy; Echo.
We heard how Michael is training Echo to be a police dog and to help keep us all safe.
