On Thursday, Mrs Wood helped us to make bread. We used flour, sugar, salt, yeast and oil. We rolled them into balls and then we put them in a warm place to rise. Mrs Wood baked them in the oven for us, and in the afternoon we enjoyed eating them. Thank you Mrs Wood for helping us.
Primary 6 have been creating some pictures of Zebras from Kenya using hot colours. We looked at the colour wheel of the hot and cold colours and selected which ones we wanted to use for our images. We then created some ‘cold’ coloured elephants. Primary 6 have been very interested in the wildlife of Kenya and we are looking forward to exploring this further.
This week Primary 2 have been learning all about the seashore. We have enjoyed sharing our knowledge and have identified areas we would like to explore in this topic.
If any Primary 2’s have pictures of visits to the beach please send them in to help us make a display in our classroom.
In PE this week Primary 1 have been learning ball skills. We rolled sponge balls down our arms and legs and back up over our heads using our fingertips! This was much trickier than it sounds! We were throwing and catching small balls with two hands and challenging ourselves by trying to throw and catch using only one hand. We even tried doing this while walking around the gym hall! We also worked in pairs to practise our throwing and catching.
Primary 2, 2/3, 5, 6, 6/7 and 7 have been learning about athletics. We know that athletics involves running, jumping and throwing events. As we took part in long distance running and sprinting last week it was time for us to have a go at jumping this week. We tried out long jump, high jump and triple jump. We tried each jump without a run up, recorded our distance and then tried again with a run up, we were amazed at the difference having a run up makes! We spoke about the personal and physical qualities needed for athletics events and discussed which events we think we would enjoy most.
Yesterday, children from P2/3 and P3 visited Stirling Castle. We had great fun looking around the Palace and the Chapel. The kitchens were dark and scary. We enjoyed the Great Hall, especially trying sitting on the thrones.
