Last week we finished off our length topic by finding the area and perimeter of some delicious, well know biscuits. The children all worked so well with their study buddies during this activity. Might have something to do with being allowed to eat the biscuits at the end 🤣
Y 5/6 all enjoyed bringing their bikes and scooters into school last Thursday!
We have been learning about measurement in Y5/6. Yesterday we worked with our study buddies to test if a persons height is 3 times the distance around their head. This was not the case for our class.
Today we went outside and measured the distance of our jumps. Apparently how far you can jump depends on your height. A lot of us recorded our jump to be the exact same length as our height!
Some of us almost jumped 2 metres!
Even though the weather wasn’t ‘playing ball’, we were! 🤣
We had so much fun this afternoon playing different games and learning cricket techniques. Thank you Brian!
On Friday we completed our one hour skipping challenge!!!! Some of the boys and girls wanted to keep skipping! We brought out the large skipping rope and had lots of fun with that whilst also keeping up our individual skipping.
What better way to celebrate finishing out challenges than with a bag of skips!!! 🤩🤩🤩
I am so proud of all the boys and girls for really pushing themselves. We all really enjoyed it and it made us feel super good 😁😁😁
We have now skipped for 45 minutes! I am so proud of all the boys and girls and how much dedication and effort they are putting into our wee challenge!
At the start of this challenge some of the boys were very apprehensive and now I have them telling me how much they love skipping!
It helps that we are getting beautiful weather to complete all our skipping 🌞🌞🌞🌞
We have done a total of 30 minutes of skipping now and it’s making us all feel FANTASTIC 😁😁😁😁😁
One boy said today that he felt like he was better at it today than he was yesterday 😁👍🙌
Others even informed me this morning that they practiced at home yesterday evening! Amazing dedication 💪
And then as if they hadn’t skipped enough I spied them skipping again at lunch! (Check out my sneaky window pictures 🕵️♀️)
Half way there! Stay tuned for all our updates.
We all returned to the classroom before Easter after a long 3 months of remote learning. We were all very excited to return to school, but it can still be very challenging adjusting to ‘normal’ school life again. We talked about the 5 ways to help our mental well-being.
Evidence suggests there are 5 steps you can take to improve your mental health and wellbeing. Trying these things could help you feel more positive and able to get the most out of life. One of the five is exercise. Before Easter we decided to take part in an exercise challenge!!!
This week, over the course of 4 days, we will be skipping for one whole hour!
Check out the video and photos from today! Mrs McClelland is joining in too of course but she isn’t half as fit as the Y5/6 boys and girls!
Our challenge will be documented here every day so stay tuned!
Well done to all of the boys and girls for their hard work making their wonderful egg creations. They were all fantastic but we had to choose some winners in each class. Samantha and Cherry from the kitchen had the very difficult job of choosing a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class.
Well done to everyone for taking part.
Happy Easter :)
Making the most of the beautiful weather today and making fun memories with our friends ❤️
