Athletics and Sports Day

Good morning,

Today is the start of our Athletics block in PE. Over the next 5 weeks, we will be practising different events for our Sports Day which will be held during the first week in June. Even if we aren’t back in school for that week, we will have a Virtual Sports Day! More information about Sports Day will be released closer to June.

This week’s Athletics is all based on the Long Jump. This worksheet has the key points for a successful long jump, a link to a long jump video and 6 activities to develop your strength and jumping. Make sure that you don’t just try everything once, spend time practising each day so that you are ready for Sports Day.

Long Jump

Remember to be active for at least 60 minutes a day.

Here are some ideas to keep you active.

Remember at least 60 minutes of activity a day!

You are doing an awesome job in PE. Keep it going!

Sky Academy P7/6L

On Friday Primary 7/6L visited the Sky Academy studios to film our own news report on a topic we find particularly important to our class. Our class sponsor an orangutan from the WWF and through our science context last term we began researching endangered animals. We created and shared persuasive presentations with our class and also the school and our parents through our class assembly. We worked in 4 teams to research and script part of a report before visiting the studios on Friday. We then finished researching and writing our scripts on ipads to be used as an autocue for our reporters to share in our report. We all had a role within our studio groups. Each studio had a producer, director, editor, camera person, presenter/ reporter and an eye witness or expert to share their knowledge. We reported in detail on the most endangered list, the threats to endangered animals, some species in particular and also what we can do to help. We then watched our completed report in a cinema before taking a tour of the Sky building.

P3R Assembly

Many thanks to all our family and friends for coming along to join us at our assembly today.

We have been finding out all about our place in the world.

As a homework task we found out where we were born and where our parents and grandparents were born. We looked at some of the places on a world map.

Its been Scotland Love Languages week and we have been learning to say hello in different languages.

We have also been bringing in photos to show who we look like in our family and to see if we have the same hair and eye colour as our parents. We are learning about inheritance in Science. We didn’t have time to include these in our assembly so we will use them to make a class display.

We loved the story about ‘How The Animals Got Their Tails’, and  have been discussing the news about the bush fires in Australia.

Well done P3R! You should all feel very proud of your performance!

 

P2W Book Week

This week we took part in Book Week Scotland 2019. We were set many challenges to try and complete during our literacy time.

P2W chose to recreate the front cover of one of our favourite books – Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. We worked so hard creating this that it took us one whole week! We are very proud of all the hard work, effort and teamwork that has went into our amazing door creation.

We have all our fingers and toes crossed in the hope that we win the competition on Monday!

Book Week P5/4C

Primary 5/4C took part in the BBC Authors Live event today in celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. Author James Robertson was the person responsible for translating this well-loved book into Scots language, and we enjoyed hearing him read the story and listening out for familiar Scots words. Afterwards, we labelled a picture of The Gruffalo and drew our own wee moose, labelling them in Scots. We all enjoyed sharing our favourite Scots words; among the most popular in P5/4 were MINGIN, WHEESHT and , of course, BAHOOKIE!
