Joe Wicks Workout 28/03/2017

We took part in the Joe Wicks School Workout on Tuesday in the social area alongside P5/6 and P6/7.  It was tough going but a lot of fun. The teachers all got stuck in as well and enjoyed it just as much as the pupils.

The pupils came back buzzing and full of excitement.

Comments included:

“My favourite was the mountain climbers.”

“It was nice, good and healthy.”

“I  liked the star jumps the best.”

“I felt excited!”

“It made me happy.”

“It made me feel joyful.”

“It was epic!”

It was good but I was very tired.”

“You feel tired because your muscles are working hard and getting stronger.”

“I got sweaty!”

“That made me feel fit doing all that exercise.”

The class even asked if they could do it again the next day.

 

Outdoor Maths

After a few weeks of learning about length,  weight and capacity we decided to go on a measure hunt. We looked all around the school playground and garden to find things we could measure the length, weight and capacity of. It was a beautiful day and we even took time to check out the frog spawn on the pond. No frogs to be seen though, they must have been  hiding.

Literacy Session – Wednesday 8th March 2017

We had a very busy literacy session this morning. We had 4 stations with groups rotating around each.

The stations today were:

  • Reading with Mrs Bray, Mrs Anderson or Colin
  • Playdoh – SMUHA inspired!
  • Teach Your Monster to Read
  • Spelling

We had lots of creative galleys to photograph. This was a very relaxing activity and all the pupils enjoyed it.

Thank you to our lovely parent helpers. Without helpers we would not be able to do this each week.

What we think of our literacy sessions:

“I love the surprise activity each week.”

“I like that we get to see our friends in P2/3.”

“We do lots of learning.”

“It is good to do lots of spelling.”

“I like that we can have our parents coming in to help.”

“It is good for Mam to see what we were are doing in class.”

“It is good to have a surprise to look forward to.”

“I love that we all get a turn on the laptops each week.”

P2/3  have really enjoyed our 3 sessions with Ashley learning about Islam. We have had such a great time and the pupils can’t wait to share some of this with you on Thursday at our class assembly.

We like to take two photos in class, a nice then a silly/crazy one.
