Some Primary 3 children took their learning outside, to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. We tried out the new quiet zone in the playground, with the log seats and benches. Mrs Duke organised games and activities that helped us to practise the sounds and words that we have been learning.

P2/3 Judo Taster Session
Today P2/3 had the opportunity to try Judo. First we took off our shoes, then we put on a judo jacket. We then had a warm up game of tunnel tig. We had lots of activities including trying to roll a partner over and trying to stand up against our partners. There was loud music and it was very exciting. We all had a lot of fun.
Castle Banquet
On Wednesday, P2/3 and P3 joined together for a class banquet as part of the castle topic. We had a great time. Everybody wore crowns to the event – even the teachers!
P2/3 Den Group
Today, the children in P2/3 den group worked hard making and then writing invitations for their parents to come and visit the den. After, we spent time playing games in the sensory room and having fun in the ball pit.
P2/3 and P3 make bread rolls
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.
PE Week Beginning 16th April
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.
P2/3 and P3 visit Stirling Castle
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.
