Sharing Our Learning
This term in PE P4 and P3/2 have been working on our handball skills. We have been practising throwing, catching, passing and dribbling the ball. This week we brought all those skills together to play a game of handball. The pupils used their collaboration and communication skills to work together in their teams to score points.
During our French lesson today P7/6 played a loop game, a bit like dominoes, using some French terms for Christmas objects and events.
We had to match the picture to the correct French word or phrase.
Bien joué!
P6/5 have been enjoying their IDL this term, learning all about the Titanic. We have been creating a timeline of the events of the night the Titanic sank and learning about some of the jobs onboard. We have been looking at how the ship hit the iceberg and subsequently sank. We have had some lively debates about whether the Captain was at fault or not.
Today we all collaborated to make a display Titanic. We were so busy during this that we forgot to take some pictures but this is our finished result. We’re very happy with how it turned out.
P2/1 are getting fully into the Christmas Spirit! We have updated our home corner to include a Christmas Tree, which children love to redecorate every day. Our writing table has become a Christmas Post Office, and we’ve been using our developing writing skills to write christmas cards and lists to post in our mini post box. We even have a new friend called Elfy, who has started bringing us a letter every day. We wonder what it will spell out!
Fun activities like this are a great opportunity for children to develop their creativity and social skills, and help them find real purpose and motivation for the writing and reading skills they are beginning to build.
P7/6 were learning about electricity this week and about which materials are conductors and which are insulators. We made predictions and then planned an experiment to test different materials within a circuit to check if the were conductors of electricity or not. We checked this by including them in a circuit with a bulb to check of the bulb would still light. We then wrote up our findings and used our knowledge of circuit symbols to draw a diagram.
