On Thursday, pupils at Kirkcolm Primary participated in the nation wide – Outdoor Classroom Day. Both classes spent the day learning outdoors in our wonderful school grounds. We even had a picnic and a walk down to the beach with Mrs Baillie.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First on the days events – Numeracy. Primary 1-4 had lots of fun using sticks to create 2D shapes and discuss their properties.<\/div>\n
Pupils then went on the hunt to find some symmetry in nature. We discussed how most things in nature like to be symmetrical or close to it. We took leaf rubbings and explored natural patterns.<\/div>\n
Primary 4-7 took numeracy outdoors and tested their understanding of bearings and angles. Using blindfolds, pupils had to direct their partners around the school grounds.<\/div>\n
