✍️Handwriting ✍️

🏆World Cup Dances! 🕺

This week is Scottish World Cup Ceilidh Week. SATPE (Scottish Association of Teachers of Physical Education) and RSCDS (Royal Scottish Country Dance Society) want to help us celebrate Scotland’s journey to the World Cup finals and also celebrate Burns Night. They have renamed some of the most popular ceilidh dances after Scotland players, including both traditional and non traditional music options. Here we are with some P7A pupils doing some of the dances and learning their very own choreographed dance for Scotland getting into the World Cup along to the song, 'Freed from Desire'.

🩻My Body Belongs to Me 💓

We have been learning all about how special our bodies are this week. We have been naming lots of body parts and had a lovely discussion about what parts of our bodies we like the best. A lot of us are proud of how our bodies, especially our organs work all the time, even when we are asleep! We also learned out private body parts, their correct names and how we should keep private parts private from anyone else other than parent/carers and doctors and nurses.

❎2️⃣Multiplying by 2! ❎2️⃣

We have started multiplying in maths this week. We have linked multiplication to repeated addition and quickly realised that multiplying is a much easier way to count groups of items. We have been practicing skip counting the multiples of the 2 times table and we have even made flowers to help us remember the answers to the 2 times table!

🧃Healthy Lunchbox 🧃

As part of our 'Healthy Me' topic this term, we have been looking at healthy foods that we would like to put into our lunchboxes! We discussed how it is good to have a balance of different types of food.
