P2 have had a busy term in PE.  We started with athletics, working towards sports day.  Sports day saw the children take part in 6 events which were measured, timed or counted.  They were awarded points for each event, then given an overall score which determined whether they were awarded a bronze, silver or gold.  The certificates went home last week showing amazing results and great improvements from their P1 scores.

After that we did a block on Striking and Fielding Games.  Here we used some of the cricket equipment and played games to develop our awareness in fielding a ball.

We have finished the year with games.

P2B have been painting forest backgrounds for their little Red Riding Hood collages.

 

P2 have started the term in PE doing athletics.  On Wednesday we remembered that athletics is split into three areas, running, jumping and throwing.  We focused on jumping, performing in 7 different jumping activities.

• standing vertical jump
• 2 footed jumps following a directional pattern
• low hurdles
• standing long jump
• rebound jumps
• higher hurdles
• boxes of differing height to jump onto.

We were reminded that the standing long jump and rebound jumps are 2 of the 6 events we take part in at sports day.

Primary 2 – Term 4 – Curriculum Information

Our buddies helped us learn how to make friendship bracelets and how to tie our shoelaces.

We enjoyed our visit from the local Dogs Against Drugs Team. We played with all the equipment and got to pet the dogs. We learned a lot about what they do in Shetland.

We had great fun and learned to dance the Boston Two Step with our buddies in P6B.
