LPS XC 🩵✨🏃🏽

In P.E we have been focussing on basketball, today we joined with @lauriestonp2-1.bsky.social for an end of block tournament. It was such a success but an even bigger success was the amount of pupils nominating their peers for worker of the week. So kind and respectful 🫶🏼🏀

Today in drama we imagined we were evacuees and discussed the emotions they might have felt. We used a “conscience alley” to share our character’s thoughts and feelings about leaving our life behind, and being chosen by a new family. @lauriestonp7b.bsky.social

Practising our woodwork skills today to create the structure of our WW2 planes.

Brushing up on our multiplication skills and setting out calculations accurately. We now have examples in our jotters to refer back to.

In drama this week, we developed our knowledge and understanding of The Blitz. P7A and @lauriestonp7b.bsky.social worked in groups to create mimed scenes focussing on three specific times… before an air raid, during the bombing, and emerging from the shelter.

In our class novel, Kofi runs a race at his school stadium. For outdoor learning we designed and created our own stadiums using loose parts and natural materials.

We had a great visit to our local library last week. Thank you to Linda at Meadowbank Library for guiding us round and letting us behind the counter. Pupils were all given a pink sign up sheet to get a library card. Please return these to school and we’ll get them made.

Post lunch feed, ready for our afternoon activities 🌳🪵

Arrived at Dalguise 🥳

We used the world clock on our iPads to explore times zones across the world🕣🌍

We were experimenting with forces acting on our helicopters and the time taken to land. We added more weight by adding paper clips. We will finish writing up our scientific reports this week.

To introduce our forces topic, we created elephants from plasticine using push pull and twist. We then created our own animals. 🥳

We’ve been playing such fast paced, dynamic basketball in PE. We are focussing on communication and creating space.

We began exploring mixed numbers and improper fractions, using pictorial aids to help us visualise them.
