The 7th of Novembers marks the first of 2 outdoor learning days to take place within the school year and since we are all working together to try and make more use of our fabulous playground and all it has to offer, we did not let these grey skies deter us!
Arming ourselves up with lots of layers and bracing for the muddy playground – both the lower and upper classes took part in some outdoor learning challenges.
P1-4 are learning about money so replaced coins with natural materials and made up different sums of money. As well as this they also used measurement to work out the length of the netball court and added up how much it would cost to paint.
P4-7 attempted to measure a tree without anybody being required to stand on shoulders or climbing to the top… We used a variety of different methods but found that using our pencil, a partner and some ‘one eye closed’ perspective worked out the best!
Moving onto literacy this after P1-4 and P4-7 created their spelling words outdoors using natural materials and then P4-7 foraged for some natural ingredients to write down instructions for some home-made remedies! (There was a lot of hand washing after this!)
Overall, the boys and girls had a fab day running about outside, getting some fresh air and didn’t even mind the odd drizzling on!
