Today we had our first Fun Time Friday of the school year. Fun Time Friday is an opportunity for all our children to select an activity that they are interested in and take part in it with peers across different classes. We had a range of activities to choose from which the children brainstormed at Pumphie Pals last session.

LI: Body systems

SC: I can…. name the parts of the respiratory system

I can…. describe how the respiratory system works

This week we started our science topic. We are looking at some of the body systems. The first one we were looking at is the respiratory system. We have been learning the names of all of the parts of the respiratory system and what happens when we breathe in and breathe out.

Can you find the parts of the body which make up the respiratory system? Can you name them?

Library Club – 20/09/18

Last week at Library Club we thought about sharing. Moira read The Smartest Giant in Town written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The giant showed us how happy it made him feel when he could share and help.

We then helped each to make friendship bracelets. Have a look at our 25 children and families working together and sharing skills.

Families Learning Together

We had a fantastic turn out for our first Families Learning Together session today. Families joined their children so they could share their learning in their jotters so far this term. They also had the opportunities to give two stars and a wish about their learning. Thank you to everyone who made it along.
