First week of last term

Time is flying and we're already into the last term!

We had an exciting start to the week when the Stunt Riderz came to our school on the first day of term. They did lots of stunts to show us and had a high jump competition.



We started our new topic which is coasts. We are finding out about marine litter and we're learning how to make an animation about some marine wildlife. Here we are planning our first characters.



Here we are looking at some photos of wildlife which has been killed by marine litter. We are very angry that this happens.



Mrs Whitworth told us that a fulmar can have about 60 pieces of plastic in its stomach. Yuk. We don't fancy eating plastic for our tea!


In maths we practised multiplying and dividing. We enjoy playing games to practise our times tables.



We made our own 'canoe families' because we have a link with the Kwu'sukna?qink Canoe Family in Pentiction in the Okanagan region of British Columbia as well as with Outma Sqilx Cultural school there.

We had to make banners for our canoe families.


We did football twice this week (twice in class - some people play it every day in the playground too!) - we're doing a few weeks of football for PE with Mrs MacNab and we also had Highland Football Academy on Friday with a coach from Ross County! He taught us some ball skills and we did some team games to practise our skills and fitness.


 
It's been a good start to the last term.
