It was the last week before we break for our October break, and we were busy, busy.
We took our PE lesson outdoors this week. We continued to practice some basket ball skills through some dribbling games such as dribble tag and many more. Playing the famous ‘piggy in the middle’, we used this game to help practice our passing, catching and defending skills.
It was all about shapes, and how ‘sweet’ it is to make 2d and 3d shapes. Using spaghetti and marshmallows we worked in pairs to create a variety of 2d and 3d shapes. There was a lot of problem solving going on as we needed to make sure our 3d shapes did not collapse…oh and the temptation to not eat the marshmallows!! Continuing with shapes, we spent some time in the outdoor classroom gathering some sticks so we can create some more 3d shapes. Although the weather wasn’t playing kind, we needed to bring out shape building indoors. We worked in pairs to create 3d shapes using string and sticks, again a lot of problem solving involved and discussion. When we return after the October break we are going go have a closer look at 2d and 3d shapes and learn how to identify the shapes by their different properties.
It’s been a busy few weeks, researching and comparing the River Forth to the Amazon River. Working with a partner we researched and created a PowerPoint presentation on the cities/towns that the River Forth runs through, we presented and shared some facts with the class.
Always celebrating wider achievements, we say a massive well done to all the boys and girls who took part in the Linlithgow Run!!
