In writing we are learning to write poems. We were writing colour poems and making little booklets. Also we wrote about a magical map that could take us anywhere.

This week we have been doing first aid training and Halloween things. We hope you enjoy our blog throughout this term.

First aid training

Level 1

First we did first aid then we did action plans. Followed by getting help initial assessments, asthma, and choking and recovery position.

Level 2

Meanwhile we did stings also anaphylactic shock, minor scrapes and grazes, nosebleeds. After that we did shocks and burns.

Level 3

However we also did bone, muscles and joint injure, strains, sprains, fractures, fainting, electric shock. Another thing is that we also did angina and heart attacks.

The first thing we learnt about was the aims of first aid. Things like keeping people safe and alive especially yourself and bystanders. Also to make them feel better.

The next thing we did was an action plan if anyone was in trouble. First you assess the situation. Next make the area safe. Then you get help and give emergency aid if needed.

The third thing we did was getting help if there were an accident

This afternoon we worked well together

Two weeks ago we had a brilliant trip to Scalloway to go on The Swan, a STEM session at Shetland UHI and the playpark. It was a brilliant day and the class worked brilliantly together in the sunshine.

Here are some highlights of our day and a big thank you to everyone who made it possible!

Today we wrote thank you letters to send – a few are attached below:

Our dioramas  

This week for topic we are doing dioramas. First we had to choose a place to make. Then we had to choose a box. Also you had to get your materials and find a place to work. At first it was hard work then it got easier.

Even though I’m still working on mine my friend livia is finished. Today we got to work on ours today instead of fun thirty one.

We have been simplifying and doing equivalent fractions. On Friday we did a task with sweets. When we finished we got to eat them. It helped us to learn about fractions.

In music we sometimes go outside and Mr Travins plays the guitar. We sing songs to practice for the music assembly.

Instead of PE most of the class went to the hockey festival in Brae. On Thursday the 5/6/7 went to the Brae Astroturf to play other primary schools. We had three teams, two teams didn’t have a sub but one did. We left the school at 9:30 and came back at 14:30. We played six games and had lunch there. We all really enjoyed it!

Buddying

In buddying these past few weeks we have been painting the Very Hungry Caterpillar. We helped our buddies by painting the pattern of the Very Hungry Caterpillar on their hands and then they pressed their hands down on the paper and made a Very Hungry Caterpillar! All of our buddies made super caterpillars but then we noticed that the caterpillars needed somewhere to live. So we trekked outside for some leaves, flowers and a big stick. When we found all of our resources we glued them on with PVA glue and our buddies write The Very Hungry Caterpillar in big clear writing. Well done Primary 1s.

This week for budding we went outside to the poly tunnel and split into two groups. One group played games with their buddy and the other group watered the plants in the poly tunnel and then we switched. After that we played a game of duck duck goose.
