We have had a really busy couple of weeks. Here are our highlights:
Last week:
On Wednesday morning we made pizzas.
On Thursday it was our election day and all the different houses voted for the new House Captains and Vice Captains for next year.
Orla, Brooke and Jack went to Deans High School to take part in the Triathlon races. They did really well and they all came back with a medal!
We all went to the library and then we went to the park.
We all went to the Bowling Club in Murieston and took part in some games – it was really good fun!
We were learning how to calculate area of a rectangle using a formula: A=BXL.
In P.E. we played Extreme Dodgeball with new rules. We had a ‘Joker’, a ‘Queen’ or a ‘King’ in each team. If the King or Queen was hit then the whole team was out, so we had to protect the King and Queen.
This week was health week.
Rachel: We learnt some different football skills which was good fun.
Sophie: We all worked in groups to research different body systems and we prepared and presented our findings to the class.
Kate: Then we went to Relax Kids where we learnt different calming strategies.
Niamh: We went to Dynamic Earth for the day. We learnt about the rain forest, icebergs, time travelling, the animals that used to live thousands of years ago, volcanoes and how astronauts made their first trip to walk on the moon.
Richard: We also had a workshop where we learnt about the effect plastic has on the environment.
Michael: We learnt about negative and positive peer pressure and how to deal with difficult situations.
Cameron: Mr McCurdy set up a Kahoot Question of Sport quiz which we all took part in.
Kate: We all took place in an obstacle course and it was really rainy, slippy and muddy! It was really fun and Jack came first and Kate was the first girl!
Niamh:We then took part in a golf lesson where we learnt the difference between a putter and a driver.
Rachel: Some people from St. Margaret’s came to take us for a dance lesson. At the end we all performed a dance for Mrs Reeves to see.
Richard: We all loved the Parkour where we were practising swinging backwards and forwards.
We finished off the day with hand massages with Primary 6.
The Glee girls went to the Centre and we performed all our songs twice and raised a lot of money.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Reeves and P5R
