We did a fantastic job today with our bike inspections. We stuck labels to all of our bikes to help us identify them and completed an inspection form to check for any repairs. Our next step is to identify who and what is needed to repair our bikes. Lots of critical thinking and collaboration today 👍
This morning we all had the opportunity to plant a tree in the nature area outside our school. This was hard work but we all enjoyed being outdoors and developing the area with around 44 trees. We talked about the different types of trees and the significance of tree planting. Thank you to Mrs Johnson from our parent council who came along to help us this morning and give us a helping hand. We can’t wait to see our trees grow in the future.
Last Friday we had an amazing morning at the school fayre. We sold a wide range of handmade products, hot dogs, snack bags, toys, teddies and a raffle. The children also led a few games outside such as darts, sponge the head teacher, hook a duck and beat the goalie. We made over £600 for our school funds and we also had some fun races out in the grass. Thank you to the Parent council who helped to set up the tables and to Mrs Henretty who led the races.
This week we looked at Picasso and made our own card board faces.
Today we learned about sources of evidence that we can trust to give us reliable information. We used what we learned to find out about the Cost of Living Crisis and what we can do to help.
Today we watched the short animation of Yoyo & The Broken Butter Lamps before watching the concert live from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Last year we even got to go and watch them in Paisley Town Hall. The story is told by narrators who also play music alongside the story to enhance the characters and their feelings.
This afternoon we had our second bikeability session focussing on using our brakes properly and following a route in the playground with lots of control. In level one we are learning to maintain our cycles, glide, pedal with control and being aware of our surroundings.
Starting this week with a visit to Breich Woodland in Spring, looking at the changes since Winter. We were on the lookout for bluebells, which we saw, animals coming out of hibernation, which we didn’t see, and the birds singing and building their nests.
We collected sticks to make kites to make the most of the Spring winds and used our meta skills to make other things, such as boomerangs, inspired by the shapes of the sticks we found.
