UHA 2024

Tuesday 30th January 2024 was a special day at Sound Primary School as we were visited by both the Junior and Senior Jarl Squads of 2024.

The Junior Jarl Squad, led by Guizer Jarl Skeppare Nokkvesson (aka Oran McCulloch), were in fine voice during their time with us, supported by a group of young local musicians who did a brilliant job. ‘Yes Sir, I can Boogie’ was definitely a highlight! The clip below shows all the pupils from p1 to p7 joining in with the Up Helly Aa song.

The Senior Jarl Squad, led by Guizer Jarl King Harald Olafsson (aka Richard Moar) were also pretty spectacular both in sight and sound. A fantastic line up of local musicians provided the music for the Up Helly Aa song and also their squad song which made us all want to get up and dance! Here is a clip of all the pupils from p1 to p7 joining in with the Up Helly Aa song. The Jarl commented how loud and enthusiastic our singing was. High praise indeed from a ‘King’!

Dance

We have started the new term in PE with a dance block.  We follow a scheme of work which involves a lot of movement both travelling and on the spot.  We look at a lot of contrasting ways like lively and gentle and fast and slow.  We also include counting, stopping and starting at the right time, changing direction, using the space well, creativity and imagination.

In our first lesson one of the activities was to make different shapes on the spot and try to hold them before changing to a new shape.   Here are some of our clever body shapes.

IDL – Topic Learning

This term our topic has been ‘Festivals and Celebrations’ we asked the pupils what they wanted to learn, they asked to learn about celebrations people have and the kind of beliefs they have, learners also wanted to know if we have the same beliefs.

We learned about remembrance day, birthdays, Diwali, Hannukah and Christmas. Here is a picture of our topic wall:

Our drawing club book has been ‘Stickman’ by Julia Donaldson. We have enjoyed every moment of drawing and writing about stickman, we have made a winter Stickman display and today we had a movie morning watching the BBC Stickman.

The last photo is our ‘Learning Journey Wall’ – the children choose photos to add and we decided to add some pupil voice quotes this term to tell the story of our learning.

Week 6 Gymnastics

This was our last week of gymnastics.  The class have loved this block, especially the equipment.  Everyone has worked so hard.  We have seen lots and lots of learning taking place including balance and control, co-ordination, gross motor skills, core stability, strength, flexibility, stamina and confidence, as well as less obvious aspects like respect and tolerance, decision making and prioritising.  A great block with so much effort put in.  Well done P1A.

Here we are exploring this weeks equipment.
