Our Outdoor Learning Journey Part 7

In Primary 5 we have been learning more about newspaper reports and what is included in them. We have been learning about the terms eye witness account, reporter, direct quotes, indirect quotes and opposing opinions so we took our learning outside and planned, recorded and reviewed news reports of our own based around finding a dino egg in the school grounds. We all got involved and had different roles to play in the news report. We then gave some positive feedback to other groups after watching their recordings. For maths we had to solve a problem methodically. We had to create as many different natural faces and record them but the main aim of the challenge was to have a method of changing the face to a new one without getting confused or repeating a face we had already created. We set ourselves a success criteria to work from in order to show how successful we had been in the task. In the afternoon we took our learning outside again and used the loose parts play equipment in the park to find solutions to small challenges we set ourselves. Each group had a different challenge to solve with a pile of given resources. The groups solved the challenges in different ways and we learned the importance of communication and cooperation to ensure we were all understanding each other. It was a great day of learning.
