In PE this week we have started to learn how to play Bench Ball. We have been learning how to catch and pass the ball to the other players in our team. We will be taking part in a Bench Ball tournament later on in the year against local schools.
In Art we were learning to create pictures using lines and shapes. We looked at the Queensferry Crossing which has lots of lines and shapes. To make our bridge pictures we used art straws and had to measure the length of them accurately so we could get the correct shapes to form the bridge sections.
We also looked at different flower shapes as if we were an insect and used paint to draw a picture of the flower as if we were looking through the eyes of the insect. Our pictures have made a very interesting and attractive display in our classroom.
We also had a visit from the RSPCA who brought along two “mechanical rabbits”. We read a story and then discussed all the things a rabbit would need so that we could look after it correctly. We also learned how to handle and carry a rabbit safely.
On Wednesday we met Mr Vilanova who will be taking the class on a Wednesday. We played lots of interesting games to get to know one another and also played a game of rounders outside.
This week we also read a lovely story called “Have you filled a bucket today?” In the story we looked at how we can become “bucket fillers” or “bucket dippers”. We learned that if we are kind to everyone, play nicely, share things and are helpful we make people happy and become “bucket fillers”. We all agreed that we want to be “bucket fillers” and made buckets filled with lots of happy and helpful thoughts for the classroom.
We have also started work on our Class Charter and have been looking at the “Rights of the Child” from UNICEF. We have decided on a space theme for our charter which we will complete next week.
We have all had a great second week in P3B.
