Getting active in the hall

This term we have been learning different skills involved in athletics. 

We have been practising jumping, throwing and running.  This is us playing 'Clean the Playground' and throwing the javelin.

 

 

I wonder if we have any future Commonwealth participants?

A visit to the Kirkwall Library

Last Friday we went to the Kirkwall Library.  We found out how to use the computer if we were looking for specific books.  Some of us were really confident using the catalogue.  We also chose books to take back to school which we will use for our 'Reading Cafe'.

 

Investigating Rainforest Animals

This week we have been finding out about different animals that live in the rainforest. 

 We worked in groups to make a poster about what we learned.  

Our finished pieces of work had lots of detailed drawings and interesting facts.

 

 

Reading Cafe

We have been continuing to learn about the different activities you can find in a 'Reading Cafe'. 

Can you guess what we are doing in the pictures below?

 

 

It is important when we are reading with someone that we sit 'elbow to elbow' and' knee to knee'. 

We remember this by thinking 'EEKK.'

We can 'read' the story by looking at the pictures or reading the words. 

Do you read in this way at home?
