Kirkcolm had a glorious day of outdoor learning both in our own classes and collaboratively.  P1-3 started their day using natural materials to help with numeracy and maths.  Challenge cards helped the children to count objects in rows totalling 10, estimating numbers of flowers in a set area and building 3D shapes using sticks and measuring.  They went on to literacy to find objects for each letter of the alphabet.

P3-5 were finding directions using a compass for maths, they have worked very hard in groups and pairs to record their answers.

P 6 and 7 started their day with a brisk run for 10 minutes calculating how many metres they had covered. Next the children selected maths challenges covering measure, number calculations and problem solving activities.

Together we have weeded and tidied our planters and raised beds.  We would like to thank everyone for the kind donations of plants and seeds that continue to make our school grounds so beautiful.  This also helps us to evidence biodiversity and school grounds towards achieving our eco green flag.

At the end of our busy day the children used the last of their energy for a fun whole school game of rounders.
