This morning’s outdoor maths fun, led by Miss Lammie, was somewhat hampered by the after-effects of the weekend’s stormy weather! Shooting and shining could be the descriptive phrase used. Still, it didn’t dampen the spirits and efforts of P5-7 in their Time Detectives clock faces task! Even if they did need to do most of their task indoors as they ducked from the heavy showers.
Miss Lammie shared the session Learning Intentions with the class; they needed to use their knowledge of clock faces (analogue/digital/minute intervals/Roman Numerals etc) to create a clock face using natural materials with their talk partner on which they could display times. The range of designs created by the pupils was fabulous. Pupils set their peers a challenge of setting a time whether it be in 24hr clock, am or pm,minutes past/to etc and explain how and why they displayed it as such. They assessed the accuracy of one another’s.
Buddy work, creating and applying skills, sharing learning, peer and self-assessment – all fabulous employability skills put to the test today! No excuses for ever being late…!
As the sun decided to make a late appearance, the lesson’s fun was brought to a close by a competitive game of times tables Splat – Thomas was crowned today’s champion 🙂
A fun morning of active maths with all pupils busy and learning! Thanks Miss Lammie 🙂
