What a wellbeing week we have had!!

Some of our highlights have included;
Parkour, football, dance, tough mudder and hand massage!

Our task of the week was to learn hand massage and deliver sessions to the rest of the school. The classes and teachers who we fitted in have given us rave reviews! Ask your child to give you one over the weekend.. they have had plenty practice this week!

Thank you to all the parents who provided their children with sponsor money for our tough mudder event! Mr McCurdy is very thankful to have had the opportunity to raise some much needed funds to support sport in st ninians!

We talked a lot about mental and emotional wellbeing and the physical changes our bodies go through as they grow. Your child may have some questions for you over the coming week 🙂

Chicken skewers were made on Wednesday and were a great hit with the class! Check out the recipe on BBC good food https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chicken-skewers-tzatziki

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.

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 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!

Here are our Class blogs for the last two weeks!

Last week:

 

PE- we learned how to perform relay races. In sprinting you had to learn how to move really quickly. We had to learn the best way to hold the baton so it could be passed on safely and quickly. Also about developing a quick reaction.

Writing- In writing we were writing a description about something of our choice for example a pet, house or place. We used our knowledge of  structure having to have an introduction, characteristics and an evaluation. We liked being able to choose what we wanted to describe.

Outdoor learning day-on Thursday we went to four different activities. We used the outdoor environment to build a cat bed for a regular visitor to our nursery! We had to look around for letters in our environment and solve a puzzle. We also had outdoor PE with fitness stations and it was fun getting to do PE in the fresh air. We had to find different natural objects such as a leaf, a stone, a stick, a piece of grass and a daisy. Each object linked to a number puzzle which we had to solve.

By Brooke and Michael

 

This week:

Another amazing week in primary 5R. Here is what we have been doing …

 

Mass – The whole school walked down to the Lanthorn on Thursday. We went because it was Ascension day.

 

French – In French we learnt the French words for feelings and we read a French book called ‘The small caterpillar who was always hungry’. We also learnt the days of the week.

 

Maths- In maths we did some division because we thought we needed some practise to get better.

 

R.E- In R.E. we were learning about Ascension day with Mrs Howley.

 

PE- With Mr McCurdy we made our own games in groups with different objects like tyres, balls, Frisbees, hurdles, cones and many more.

 

We had a Judo taster lesson and then they gave us leaflets to see if we wanted to join their club.

 

Bowls- Special people came in and they taught us how to play bowling. Then they gave us fliers to see if we wanted to go to their bowling club.

 

Art- In art Mrs Young was helping us make flip flops with unique patterns on them. Then we cut them out and put paper straps on them.

 

Assembly- In assembly, a man came in and taught us dances and phrases like “July” and they are meant to help you relax.

 

Written by Kate and Niamh!

Goodbye.

Have a great weekend!
