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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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…!<\/p>\n

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\u00a0 – Thomas was crowned today’s champion \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A fun morning of active maths with all pupils busy and learning! Thanks Miss Lammie \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
