Yesterday we went to the gym with the P1B’s for our Christmas party games.

Chloe from the Shetland Library visited our class  for a special Christmas Book Bug session.  We enjoyed listening to a story called This Rock is Mine that reminded us the importance of sharing. We also enjoyed singing some Christmas songs.

Primary 1A  were  curious about the changes that take place in nature during winter. We explored the wildlife area to see what we could notice…

We had a few changes to the equipment this week.  The wide box was a section higher, the narrow beam came after the wider benches and at the frame, the ropes were out.  When discussing the equipment set up, we spoke about changes of height, direction and width.

Here we are in action.

Primary 1 have been very excited about the recent snowy weather. They’ve had fun making snow angels, snow potions and have worked together to make some wonderful snow creatures ☃️❄️

Primary 1 enjoyed taking part in the Children in Need fund raising activities in school that were organised by Primary 7.

They were also delighted to get a visit from Pudsey on Friday afternoon!

As a school, we raised £552.23, well done and thank you!

Last week was our first week using all the big gymnastics equipment.  We loved it!

We started the new term at PE, experiencing gymnastics for the first time.   We found out that gymnastics is all about using our body to do skills.  We learnt about the basic shapes, trying them in different positions.  We then did some flexibility exercises, noticing that the shapes are used in many different stretches.   We also performed jumps, trying the shapes in the air while learning the 5 ways we can take off and land and how to describe a jump.

• 5 ways of taking off and landing are

2 feet – 2 feet

2 feet – 1 foot

1 foot – 1 foot the same

1 foot – the other foot and

1 foot – 2 feet.

Here we are stretching and jumping.

In PE, we have been using the small games apparatus including, small balls, large balls, hoops and bats.

Here we are with the hoops.
