Have a look at what exciting things we will be learning about this term.
PE
Racket Activities
We have spent the second half of the term doing racket activities. We have used tennis, badminton and table tennis equipment to develop our individual hitting and basic sending and receiving with a partner.
Swimming
This term P3 have had their swimming block. We focused on developing their ability in front and back crawl. Everybody is showing great improvements in confidence and technique. Well done. A great block in the pool.
PE Reminder

Shapes and patterns
This term we have been learning about symmetry, shapes and patterns. We experimented with tiling different shapes and creating beautiful patterns.
Everyone was incredibly focused showing amazing meta skills in creativity, communication and adapting when faced with challenges and problems. Some even experimented further and extended their tiling patterns using symmetry!
Have a look at their amazing creations below.
Art Lesson
In Art P3 have been looking at Shetland artist Ruth Brownlee, finding out about her paintings and what inspires her.
We started by experimenting and exploring the paint, trying to find new ways of putting it onto the page.
After a week of exploring, we tried to create our own weather-inspired seascape.
The final results were great!
Large Ball skills
In PE we started the year with large ball skills with the benchmark rhythm and timing. Through activities and games we worked on developing our basic skills of throwing, catching, bouncing, kicking and aiming.
Here we are in action.

B-I-NG-O Boomwhackers
We have been learning about beat and rhythm in music and in the song ‘B-I-NG-O’ we could show both of these musical elements. For the first and last parts of song we nodded our heads in time and for the middle section where we spell out BINGO’s name, we used body percussion to show the rhythm.
We also learned about Boomwhackers and how they are used to create different sounds of different pitches. We worked out that the longer the boomwhacker, the lower the pitch of the note and the smaller the boomwhacker, the higher the pitch of the note.
In the clip below, you can see the class performing the song ‘BINGO’ using boomwhackers.
Fun in the sun!
