Kirkcolm had a glorious day of outdoor learning both in our own classes and collaboratively.\u00a0 P1-3 started their day using natural materials to help with numeracy and maths.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 They went on to literacy to find objects for each letter of the alphabet.<\/p>\n

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

P 6 and 7 started their day with a brisk run for 10 minutes calculating how many metres they had covered.\u00a0Next the children selected maths challenges covering measure, number calculations and problem solving activities.<\/p>\n

Together we have weeded and tidied our planters and raised beds.\u00a0 We would like to thank everyone for the kind donations of plants and seeds that continue to make our school grounds so beautiful.\u00a0 This also helps us to evidence biodiversity and school grounds\u00a0towards achieving our eco green flag.<\/p>\n

At the end of\u00a0our busy day the children used the last of their energy for a fun\u00a0whole school game of rounders.<\/p>\n
