More excitement this week in the form of a trampette.  This is a miniature trampoline that you use like a springboard.  The pupil steps on and jumps off showing a 1 foot-2 feet-2 feet foot pattern.  Other changes included a double bar, a high bench, a high ladder, obstacles on the beam, the springboard beside our long box and the wide box was another block higher.

Here we are in action.

This term we have been working very hard to get ready for our Christmas show at the end of the term. We started by learning all the songs and then we had to learn lots of speaking parts too! For the last few weeks we have been practicing on the stage and we are really excited to perform to our school community and our families on Tuesday 12th December.

We don’t want to give too much away, but it’s going to be great!

P1B are loving the gym equipment.

Week 2  saw a different set up for the pupils to explore.  The main differences were we had the ropes out, included a change of direction, the wide box was slightly higher and the bench up to the long box was flat and lower.

Here are some pictures of us working.

P1A have been learning about Remembrance Day. They have been drawing, using scissors, paper tearing and collaging by using paper and glue. I love their work- Mrs Burr

We have been learning about staying safe near roads and traffic, especially now it’s getting darker in the mornings and after school. Mr Johnson helps us to cross the road safely

Here are some of our favourite clips to help us remember how to be safe

We are having great fun with Story Dough. Using Play-Doh and our imagination we chat, invent, wonder and have fun while making characters or objects and discussing what they are up to.

We had a lovely morning taking part in the burpee challenge with P7 and then a surprise visit from Pudsey.

We are doing gymnastics in PE.  We have loved the block so far, especially last weeks first experience on the equipment.  We have been balancing, jumping, rolling, taking the weight on our hands, travelling, swinging, climbing and much more.  Here are some pictures.

Wow! We did not expect such a beautiful day for our trip to explore the Sands of Sound. We had a great time checking out the burn, rock pools, waves, shells and playing in the sand.

Hope you enjoy reading about our learning for term 2.
