A1 say “Pick it up, Please!”
A1 walk to the shops every week to buy ingredients needed for food technology. During our walks we have noticed a lot of dogs poop on the path near our school grounds. We came to the conclusion we need to do something.
Together, in the class, we have decided we need to make some posters to support others knowledge how important it is to tidy up after your own dog.
We went to see Miss Clarkson and share our views with her. We got a green light to put posters up on the fence and she thought it would be a good idea to share this important message with the whole school at assembly. You can view our presentation by clicking the link below:

A2 Art Project
A2 really enjoyed working with Heather, an artist working with The National Art Gallery, on our Art Project. Throughout our project we were constantly asking ourselves “What is Essential?”

Some Info from the Buddies!
The buddies are so excited to meet the new pupils who are starting in August. Three of the Buddies have very kindly presented some helpful information for the new P1 and P2 pupils. Well done to Scott, Morgan and one other fantastic girl (sorry I cannot include your name – it is because you have included your photo in your presentation) for putting these together for us! Stay safe and have fun over the holidays!
23/06/20 – A1 and P1 Virtual Sports Week Challenge 2
Good Morning everyone!
We loved seeing some of your sports day posters yesterday! Keep them coming! Today, our challenge is to design a schedule for your sports day.
Your Sports Day event must have 10 sporting activities in total. We will give you ideas for the first 5 but you will need to decide on the other 5 sporting activities that you want to include on your own, or with help from a family member. You cab watch the first 5 activities being demonstrated by Mrs Bryce’s little girl by clicking on each link below:
- Socks in the Box
Put an empty box or basket down on the ground and take 2 giant steps away from it. Open your legs wide and bend down then throw balls of socks into the box through your legs. You will get a point for every ball of socks you get into the box. Your time limit is 30 seconds.
2. Toilet Roll Tower
Sit on the floor with 6 toilet rolls on the floor behind you. Swivel round on your bottom and using only your feet, build a tower using the toilet rolls in front of you. Your time limit is 30 seconds and you will get a point for every toilet roll you have in the tower at the end.
3. Step Ups
Find a step either in your garden or inside your house and see how many steps ups you can do within 30 seconds. For every full step-up (up, up, down, down) you will receive a point.
4. Bag For Life Race
Forget the sack race… the Bag For Life Race is so much more fun! Place one shoe on the ground and take 2 giant steps and put your other shoe down. Stand inside a bag for life, or an old pillow case will do, and see how man times you can jump from shoe to shoe within 30 seconds. Each time you reach a shoe, you get a point.
5. Star Jumps
Because we think you are all superstars at Blackburn Primary School, we wanted to see how many star jumps you could do in 30 seconds. Every full star jump (in and out) gets a point.
Now it is your turn… think of 5 more sporting activities for your Sports Day Event. Write down all of your activities and make a list of any equipment you will need. Start to gather your equipment, with permission from an adult.
We would love to see your sports day schedule. Send in photos for us to see!
Have fun!
Mrs Bryce and Mrs Topping
