This week we were very lucky to have a visitor teach us some Judo techniques. We played some games and learned some Judo moves. We had to work with partners, listen to instruction and take care not to hurt anyone else. Protecting our heads was the most important part. It was great fun. Some of us are even going to start going to weekly sessions.
Even although it was a short week, we’ve had a very busy few days in P1.
We have learned our new sound ‘qu’ and have been practising our reading skills on Reading Wise. We have also been adding within ten using dominoes and ten frames for Numeracy.
We have continued to learn about toys and looked at some toys from the past. Many were made from metal, wood or cloth, unlike a lot of our plastic toys today.
We thought about which forces toys use to help them move. We found many that use a push or pull force, in the classroom or outside.
Some of us also completed a STEAM challenge to design and make a game of our own – a marble maze using lego.
We were lucky to have a surprise judo session on Wednesday and had lots of fun learning new moves and working with partners on the mat.
Primary 5 and Primary 3 had a short but productive session together today where we shared texts using different media and platforms. Some pupils shared their allocated texts on Giglets, some used the Storytime Online QR codes to access books and some preferred good old paperbacks!
We are all looking forward to World Book Day next week where we hope to take part in lots more exciting reading activities.
