As we are learning about the Olympics this term Tingwall Primary school are taking part in a virtual walk from Australia to Rio De Janeiro passing through the various countries that have held the Olympic Games along the way. We are adding up the miles we all walk during our daily mile and adding them to our walk.
We have already reached Sydney which is 1,603,333 steps. We still have a long way to go though as it is 72,380,227 steps to get to Rio De Janeiro!!
We had Art with Mrs Hoseason on Thursday. First we were looking at other people’s work from different schools. Then we were doing Mind Maps about Myths and Legends because Mrs Hoseason wanted to see what we knew. Our Mind Maps had to be very colourful and exciting. I did a lot on my one and I think it was quite good. We also had Music with Mr Bennett on Thursday. We sang a song and then we played Categories. Categories is a game. I like playing Categories. After that Mr Bennett let us get the xylophones out. We played One Man went to Mow on the xylophones and then Merrily We Roll Along. On Monday we had PE with Mr McNiven. We were using bats and balls and we had to try and bounce the balls on the bats.
Our topic in health and wellbeing is keeping healthy so we have been looking at different ways in which we can stay healthy.
We have looked at the eat well plate and the different food groups: carbohydrates, protein, fats, dairy and fruit and vegetables. We discussed which foods and drinks are good for you and those that aren’t good for you.
We kept a diary of what we ate and how active we were for a week and discussed this in class. We are a very active class which is great!!
We are creating leaflets for:
Some of the class are creating leaflets by folding paper into 3 and writing/drawing their information whilst the others are typing their information on the laptops. Miss Nicholson showed us how to create a leaflet using Microsoft Word, changing the paper, adding 3 columns and printing double sided so that when you print and fold it, the writing isn’t upside down.
PE
We have been looking at keeping fit during PE with Miss Nicholson. We have been doing circuits, these are:
We are keeping note of how many we do in the 1 minute and have noticed that we are getting better as the weeks go on! We enjoy doing this and created our own stations for the circuits last week. We came up with great ideas that really got us working.
