In maths P6 have been engaging in outdoor maths games to keep them both active and learning at the same time.
P3 learning, term 2
In primary 3 this term we welcomed a parent visitor into our classroom who kindly came to help us make a wonderful Christmas class calendar. We loved getting creative with all of the amazing fabrics and now have our very own calendar to use each year as we go through school – we learnt all about sustainability and enjoyed exploring all of the sparkly fabrics as well as using the sewing machines.

Our Outdoor Learning Journey Part 7
Remembering our Community
Our Outdoor Learning Journey Part 5
In Primary 5 we looked at different ways of creating art using nature. We looked at photographs of examples of how you could use things like leaves and sticks to create fantastic artwork and thought we could try to make some of our own. We went into the playground and looked for things we could use in our pictures then we created them using glue to stick the pieces in place and minimal pen marks to add detail.
Our Outdoor Learning Journey Part 4
P3 seem much further down the outdoor learning journey. Having worked outdoors last session we immediately organise a time in the week where we can do this again, we will be outside for almost 1.5 hours, giving us more time to practise and develop our skills. This year I am linking each piece or block of learning to a book or books.
We started with the story ‘Tidy’ by Emily Gravett. This allowed us to have a discussion about the importance of being tidy while also discussing the importance of various seasonal happenings e.g leaf litter and falling seeds.
We mapped out garden area and Primary 3 came up with a list of ideas of things they would like to do and be able to play while outside. We began to action our plans and decided we needed some signs. Bringing in sandpaper and pieces of wood was the first venture into ‘risky’ activities and the children rose to the challenge. A risk assessment was completed, complete with additions due to COVID-19, goggles and gardening gloves were donned and the children rubbed down pieces of an old fence to use as panels for garden signs. The signs have since been designed and painted using Posca Pens. Primary 3 this term have created some great woven shapes and have begun planting up the tyres. We have plans to lay down membrane over our garden area, spread our stones and create an outdoor kitchen and shop where the children can engage in role play.
