Lion King
Unfortunately (I’m sure the children disagree…) we had a very short week due to the snow…On Monday we had a successful rehearsal at Linlithgow Academy which at least gave the children a chance to get their positions on stage for most of the show. We had hoped to be back yesterday to do a full run through, but that was not meant to be…Hopefully we get back in on Monday. If the children can keep practicing using the links that Mr Logan posted on the blog, and that I sent on dojo, that would help greatly. They can also listen to the Lion King Junior soundtrack. Well done P7, you are doing an amazing job!
PE
In PE Mr Logan has been continuing with his better movers and thinkers football skills. The staff had a training session on this a few weeks ago, and this allows children to use ball skills whilst also having to multi-task and use their brain eg dribbling a football in different directions (4 forward, 4 side, 4 back) whilst throwing and catching a tennis ball with one hand. Not as easy as it sounds…
Numeracy
This week we started a new topic of Volume and Capacity. We revised the meanings of the 2 terms and then went on to estimate the capacity of various objects. We then started work on a carousel of 4 activities where we had to : estimate and measure the capacity of 5 different containers with water in them, estimate 100ml, 75ml and 25ml by pouring into a container and checking, convert from millilitres to litres and do some volume word problems.
