Measuring in Primary One

Primary One have been learning how to measure and they have been doing a brilliant job!!

We have been using different objects like cubes, paperclips and pennies to measure a variety of objects.

We have also enjoyed taking part in health week and thinking about why exercise is good for our bodies ! On Wednesday, we took part in gymnastics and on Thursday we learnt how to play handball! Handball was our favourite!

Well done P1!

 

Hunt for the Big Bad Wolf

This week in the nursery we have been focusing on Little Red Riding Hood where most of the children are able to retell this story using visuals. We spoke about personal safety as Little Red Riding Hood was told not to talk to anyone on the way to grandma’s house and how the Big Bad Wolf was very naughty. We went on a hunt to the local woods to see if we could find the Big Bad Wolf.

We didn’t manage to find the Big Bad Wolf but we did find out that they are working on replacing the bridge over the pond and we will keep an eye on the progress of this.

 

An active week in P2/3!

P2/3 have really enjoyed taking part in a variety of activities for health week this week.

On Wednesday we joined Primary 2 in the hall to play a variety of games.  Miss Edmond and I were impressed with the super team work during the games.  There were some very red faces after playing the cat and mouse game!!  Well done to our class winners Jack, Daniel and Oskar!  Special mention to Daniel and Izaak who developed the tactic of standing really still near the wall and hoping no one would notice them!! (there are more photos of this session in Miss Edmond’s blog post)

Yesterday we had a session learning handball skills.  We learned about the correct way to carry and dribble the ball and we even managed to move while putting the ball through our legs!!

Today we were learning about how to hold a golf club correctly and had a go at putting and using a full swing to hit the ball.  The coach was very impressed by how many of the children managed to get the ball in the air!

P2’s health week

On Wednesday P2 were joined by P2/3 to play some team games in the hall. The children worked very well together and used excellent skills to work out the best strategies for their team. Please visit P2/3’s blog post to see photos of the Cat and Mouse game!

P2 were excited to take part in a handball session and learn about how to safely throw and catch a ball. Miss Edmond was impressed at how well the children in P2 could dribble the ball and pass the ball between their legs!

 

Have a lovely weekend resting after a busy week, P2!
