More Health Week fun in P3

May 17, 2024 Mrs Swanston Leave a comment

On Thursday we enjoyed a visit from local nurses who told us all about the importance of sleep and we made our very own dream catchers! We walked to Polbeth Bowling Club and enjoyed playing bowling in groups – what an amazing sport which we all loved taking part in! In the afternoon we went to our school garden and made flower bombs, which involved mixing soil and compost and water into a mudball, dipping into seeds and wrapping them in a paper towel tightly. We then positioned them on the ground and they will attract butterflies and other insects. On Friday morning we loved doing some fitness work with Mrs Saunders – what a great start to the day! We played some Circle Time games and made posters about what makes us happy.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone involved in preparing and volunteering for this year’s Health Week!

Stella – I liked making a dream catcher and mine was dark blue and purple. I hung it above my bed.

Ellie – I liked the bowling and it was so much fun.

Bonnie – I liked making the mudballs and they will attract butterflies. I put mine next to one of the planters.

Jacob – I loved having bowling because it was fun doing it with my friends. It’s a good sport.

Scarlette – I liked doing Fitness this morning, it was fun!

Alexander – I enjoyed making mudballs with Mrs. Watson.

Bella – I liked playing the playground games in the afternoon and we made up our own games.

Cody – I enjoyed doing Fitness with Mrs Saunders, my heart was beating fast!

Jessica – I liked the bowling because my grandads do it. I would like to try it again.

Iza – I loved bowling. I could hit the white ball three times.

This week we had a healthy eating theme as it’s Health Week. We made Pasta Salad.

We were all very good at following the instructions and trying new things. Some of us could help but taste 👅 the ingredients as we were making it. We were proud of our final pot of pasta salad.

Health Week Day 4 Primary1S

We kicked of today with a “how to keep health” session with the school nurse team.
We learned lots of facts about how much sugar is in different juices and about different aspects of Heath. Sleep 😴 is very important for our Heath, we need to get enough sleep every night. To remind us how important sleep is we made Dream 😴 Catchers.

After that we had a Dance 💃 🕺 lesson. This was lots of fun and hard work. We had to concentrate on the dance moves and try to remember them. We tried Highland and Cheer.

Our final activity for the day was sensory zones. We had a great time trying different activities.

We started our day with an Enjoy-a-Ball session. We learned new skills linked to volleyball. We tried out ‘digging’, ‘ serving’ and volleying the ball. We had great fun.

After break we kept active by playing ‘Spot the Word’ and dancing at the same time. That was fun.

After lunch we had our Sports Afternoon and tried out lots of fun activities. We were happy to see our families.

P3 day 3 of Health week

May 15, 2024 M Gaffney Leave a comment

To start day 3 of Health week we had a football session with Davie. He taught us that there is 4 parts of the foot you can use to kick the ball. We played lots of fun games where we had to dribble the ball and try to get the ball off of each other.

We then completed the Daily Mile. Some of us managed to do more than a mile today.

We learned that in Guatemala children make Worry Dolls. They tell these handmade dolls their worries and then put the doll under their pillow. When they wake in the morning the doll has taken away all their worries. We decided to make our own worry dolls out of wooden pegs. We used fabric, wool and pipe cleaners to make our Worry Dolls.

We are really looking forward to sports day this afternoon!

P1 M , Health Week , Day 2.

May 14, 2024 Mrs Moffat Leave a comment

Day 2 of our amazing Health Week. Here we are playing games with our P7 Buddies.

We did some freeze dancing with Danny Go.

We did some gardening with Mrs Watson and our friends in P1S, and we made flower bombs. We had to squeeze compost , clay and water together to make a ball shape , then we rolled it in flower seeds. After that we planted them . Hopefully we will be able to watch what happens with the seeds and how they grow.

Here we are doing some dancing to music with P1S

We had time to explore and play in the outdoor class room with our P1S friends.

At the end of the day we had time for a little chill with some relaxation. We listened to some soft lullaby music and watched the clouds float by with our lights on the ceiling. Another packed day !

What a great day !

It was another fun filled Heath day in Primary 1S.

First up today was circuits with Primary 1M and Primary 7. We tried lots of different activities working different areas of our bodies.

We then had some time in the garden making flower 🌺 bombs. We did this together with P1M. These were made from wild flower seeds, compost and clay mud. It was very messy but lots of fun. Some of us planted our bombs in school and some of us have taken them home 🏠.

After that we had some time to play in the outdoor classroom before doing some mindfulness activities in class.

We are all very excited about what activities we will do tomorrow and Sports Day 🤩

P3 day 2 health week

May 14, 2024 M Gaffney Leave a comment

We have had another, busy, fun and healthy day. It was lovely to start our day with a fruity smoothie which we made ourselves. We peeled and chopped the fruit and we then cycled the smoothie bike to blend the fruit together to make our smoothie. They were delicious.

We then went outside to the garden. We have our own planter to look after. We emptied all the weeds out first and then added fresh compost. We then planted some cucumber seeds and Chinese Lantern flower seeds. We will keep an eye on the planter and weed it when needed.

We then did some yoga in class.
