In Bikeability P6 have been checking each others’ bikes for damage. We were checking the wheels,the brakes, the handlebars, the seat and the gears. We were in pairs and we were checking each others bikes with our partners.
There were adult helpers called Duncan, Sarah, Richard, and Jenny.
We had sheets of paper and ticked off and crossed the questions. We went into Miss Collins’s classroom and talked about helmet safety and then we talked about general safety on a bike. A thing we learned is that you should have 8 reflectors on your bike.
This term we have been doing P.E with Miss Gordon. We have been focussing on netball . We all loved doing it! We also were doing circuits, stations, rapture ball and hot seat. Rapture ball is a game where there is 2 teams and one person has the ball and passes to the other team mate and that person tries to capture the other teams team mate.
For rapture ball is a ball game and you have to be quick and you have to have good space.
In P.E we have been learning about fitness with Mrs Jones and Mr McEwan. We have been focusing on circuits . In the circuits we have been doing : jumping, skipping and rolling balls.
We have also been doing the daily mile more often.
We have been learning how to play fun new games e.g. Clear The Garden, Chaos Tig and more. We have all been having lots of fun.
We have been doing ‘Silent Absorbed Reading’ in class this year at home and school.
We pick a book from the school library and read the blurb and then do the five finger test to see if you could read the words underneath your fingers to help us when we choose it.
We also keep a record of what we read. You write the date and write what we read and a comment. On a Friday we hand our records in to the teacher to see how much we have read .
In p56 Mr McEwan has been teaching us to blog. Mr McEwan created a blogging sight for us to practise blogging. Blogging for us will be about mainly writing a summary of what we have been doing for our class blog. If you want to you can say if you enjoyed it to. To start with I did a blog about 10 ways to annoy my teacher. Now we are doing a blog of what we have been doing in class.
In P5/6 we have been learning how to do report writing and Blogging. For our report writing we focused on the first sentence to make sure that if it was in a newspaper or blog that someone would want to read it.
Today P5/6 were continuing to learn how to create posts for our Class Blog. They worked in pairs or on their own to write about some of the things we have been doing in class recently.
You can read their posts here and see some photos of them blogging on the new Chromebooks the PTA raised money for below.
We wrote superhero stories in pairs using both of our superheros as the characters. We planned our stories in our writing jotters and then we wrote them up on the chromebooks. When we finished our stories and were sure they had correct punctuation we sent them to Mr McEwan , he printed them out and we glued them into our writing jotters.
