Class day out!

As it is nearly the end of term, 1A had a class day out.
First we went to Breck Farm. We saw lots of animals and enjoyed feeding and petting them.

We weren't all so keen on the hens and ducks, but felt a bit braver when we knew they were a safe distance away!

There were even small animal, such as guniea pigs and rabbits for us to see.

After an exciting morning at the farm, we headed to Firth playpark in the afternoon. It was great fun having a go on all of the equipment.

We all had a great day and are now looking forward to having a lovely Summer holiday!

Sports Day

On Friday 10th June we had our school sports day. We all had a super afternoon, taking part in all of the races. We can't wait for next year's sports day already!

Healthy Dips

Today we made some yummy healthy dips.

The first dip was called 'Broccomoli'. We mixed broccoli with yoghurt, lemon juice and mayonnaise.

The second dip was carrot and cucumber. We grated some cucumber and carrot.

While we waited we cut up the vegetables we were going to use as dippers.

We mixed the carrot and cucumber with yoghurt and it was ready to eat.

We all tried them both. The carrot and cucumber dip was slightly more popular then the Broccomoli. Maybe we will try some different flavours next time.

Royal Wedding

We had a really fun week getting things ready for our Royal Wedding party!

We made some tasty buns to have at the party and iced them.


After looking at pictures of the carriage William and Kate would be travelling in, we made our own carriages out of junk. They all looked very good.


We also made our own souviner plates.

On Friday we joined 1C and 1F to watch the Wedding on the smartboard.

We sat and had some juice and ate the buns and biscuits that were made while we watched.

We had made some super Wedding hats!

And of course we couldn't have a party without a bit of dancing!

Everyone had a great time and will hopefully all remember what we did to celebrate the Royal Wedding in years to come.

Being Active in 1A

1A have been very busy in PE this week.

We had a go at throwing a foam javelin. I wonder who threw it the furthest?





We were very good at tossing bean bags into the hoops.




Brian went over to Picky with P3 to play tag rugby on the astroturf. It was a bit cold but he soon warmed up with all the running around they did!

St Magnus Cathedral

As we have been doing some work on churches in class, we decided to go a walk to the Cathedral to have a look inside one.

It was really interesting looking at all the exciting things inside the Cathedral. The stained glass windows were amazing - almost as good as the ones we made at school!

Time

This week we have been learning about time.

We made a giant clock in the back playground out of chalk and used strips of cardboard for the hands. It was great fun making different o'clock times.

Today we carried out an experiment to see how much water plants need to grow.

We planted some cress seeds in 3 different pots. 1 pot will not be watered, 1 pot will get 5 sprays of water and the last pot will be watered as normal.

We each predicted which pot will grow the best. We will keep an eye on the cress over the coming days to see if our guesses are correct!
