P2’s Fitness Fortnight busy week…

Leave a comment

  Fitness fortnight in P2

As you may know, fitness fortnight has started and now we have already gone through half of it! Have a look below and see how P2 got on…

When you think of sport you usually think of physical exercise and nothing more but, with the help of some pens and markers, we included literacy in our week by making incredible sports day banners! As well as that, we made an acrostic poem to the word HEALTHY and created mind-blowing posters about the importance of healthy eating.

Along with literacy comes maths and yes, you guessed it- we did an outstanding job with that too by doing activities like,  throwing bean bag (and other safe, soft objects) and estimating how far we threw them. Next -with a hand from an adult – we measured them exactly and checked how close we were with our estimation! Also, we set a timer and saw how long it takes us to do 20 squats then rounding the seconds from the timer to the nearest whole number (if we could). We made a circuit and timed how long it took us to get through it along with all the members of our family, later trying to beat our time!

What’s fitness fortnight without some plain old sport? With the help of YouTube, we have done a workout with ‘Jumpstart Jonny’ or ‘Joe Wick’s’ and ‘Just Dance’ too! Later we had a lesson to learn some martial arts! As well as spelling out our name by doing different types of exercises and taking a time to step back by taking part in the ‘Cosmic Zen Den’ video.

On top of all this, we did an exciting taste quiz to explore different foods and made activities or games to share with all the other boys and girls.

Phew! What a busy week!

Primary 2 have been working very hard at home. Have a look at our blog to see what we have been learning in this short week…

In literacy, we have revised our common words to help us consistently spell them correctly.

We used the  Oxford Owl website to explore a variety of books and write a summary about what happened in the book we read.

We have also written about our feelings in our jotters. We wrote about how we feel spending so much time at home.

In maths, we have been learning about estimation. We have had some worksheets where we had to guess what number should fill the blank space on the number line. We also played some math games using the new skill of estimating.

One of the subjects in school is to learn another language. Since we are learning at home, we asked our parents for permission to have an account on Duolingo to help us uphold the knowledge of Spanish and take it to the next level.

Creativity is in everyone. It is also in all the children of P2! To use our talents and imagination, we gathered different materials and created a unique picture of what WE think spring looks like.

As May begins, we are going to try to have a better relationship with Mary the Mother of God and God himself- Our Father, by praying to them every day in our own words.

Making the right choices in our day – to – day eating can sometimes be difficult. Luckily, we know exactly what to do because we have been cutting out food and putting it on a paper plate to make a healthy meal for ourselves. This will help us to know exactly how to eat healthy in the future.

 

 

Thank you for the lovely pictures we have received so far. Remember to keep sending us pictures of your amazing work.

Take care everyone and have a nice and safe weekend

Fantastic Presentations from p3b!

3 Comments

For the past 2 weeks, primary 3 have been preparing wonderful presentations as a homework challenge. On Tuesday everyone shared their presentation with the whole class. Everyone was absolutely fantastic! The pupils stood confidently at the front of the class and had to use a big loud voice as well as make eye contact with the audience. The topics chosen by the pupils were great and it was fantastic to hear each child talk in detail about something they are interested in. It was clear to see how much effort had been put into preparing the presentations. The variety of posters, powerpoints, props and video clips was amazing!

A huge WELL DONE to all the children in primary 3, you were all stars and I am so proud of you! I enjoyed every one of your presentations and I learned lots of new things!

Presentations in P3a!

WOW! I am AMAZED with the hard work and effort of the boys and girls in Primary 3! Two weeks ago they were set a homework challenge… to do a presentation in front of the class about any subject of their choice.

The results were FANTASTIC! We had outfits, trophies, medals, photos, posters, dvds, songs, powerpoints… even a cake! We all learned so much from listening to each other… we learned about countries, hobbies, pets, games, history, animals, football teams and very special people!

At the end of the presentations the ‘judging panel’ gave feedback to the presenter about their delivery, content and style.

Overall the presentations were excellent, it was lovely to see and hear the children talking about something they are passionate about.

A HUGE WELL DONE TO EVERYONE! I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND ALL YOUR HARD WORK!

Time to learn about Time!

2 Comments

Primary 5 are learning about telling the time using analogue and digital clocks.  As part of a homework challenge, Miss Crease asked us to design and construct either an analogue or digital clock or a watch.

Aaron – I made a digital clock using lego.  It was really easy to make and my friends thought it was a good idea.

Ben – My clock is an analogue clock and I used things around the house to make it.

Erin – I made a huge watch and I used a paper fastener so that the hands can move.  It’s big enough for a giant to

wear!

It’s coming to eat you!!!

Primary 5A have been doing amazing projects. Mrs Buchanan-Coutts wanted us to show her, by thinking outside the box, a creative way to show that we understand the food chain.  We were allowed to be as creative as we liked.  We were given a whole week to do this task, and we’ve  had some outstanding work from some of  the Primary 5 students this week!  

We came up with some extraodinary ideas like powerpoints, posters, puzzles, mood boards and boxes decorated about the food chain.  Some of the class used lego, Minecraft and even clay models to show their understanding. 

Mrs Buchanan-Coutts was very impressed with some of the unusual ideas we came up with and we all had great fun doing it into the bargain.  Written by P5a.

Creative Creature Categorising!

4 Comments

Primary 5b have been learning all about the different types of animals that can be found in the rainforest! We learned about vertebrates and invertebrates, then we started to classify different animals into categories; mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians!

Last week we were set the homework challenge to ‘show animals that are mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians in ANY WAY!’ Miss King wanted us to be as creative as possible! The results were amazing…

Some people created interactive powerpoint presentations full of facts and examples of animals, some people made books, fact files and posters, some people wrote lists or drew tables and some people drew pictures of different animals! Hannah B made some amazing creatures out of modelling clay; we all thought they were so cute! Hannah S made a beautiful mobile using coat hangers, tissue paper and ribbons with the animals pictures attached! Fraser baked 5 cupcakes and decorated them with an animal from each of the five categories! Paige created a rainforest song to the music of ‘We Are the Champions’ by Queen; we all sang along it was fantastic! Terri created her own jigsaw with pictures of animals from each category and we helped her to put it together, what a fantastic idea! Krzysztof used lego to create models and Marco even used his favourite game minecraft to ‘build’ his animals and took pictures of them!

It was amazing to see all the fantastic ideas and creations! Miss King was so proud of us that she invited Mrs Brown and Mrs Deas to visit us and see all our fabulous work… they were VERY impressed!

Homework Challenge- build a Roman chariot.

2 Comments

As part of our homework, Miss Woods and Miss Crease have set us a challenge!  We have been asked to design and build a Roman chariot using everyday materials from home.

We looked at photos and video clips of Roman chariots and learned how and why they were used by the Romans.

We have to bring our chariots into school by next Friday 14th February.  Photographs will follow…

If we find this challenge a little bit too difficult, our teachers said that we could draw a labelled diagram of a Roman chariot instead.
