As part of work towards Gold Dyslexia Friendly Schools status, P7Mc along with the rest of the school  undertook a variety of learning activities that didn’t require any writing implements.   We continued to use the Active Spelling  strategies we have already blogged about.  We also worked in pairs to solve Tarsia Puzzles about simplifying fractions.   We did this in pairs, discussing what we already knew and working together to solve the jigsaw.   In the afternoon we painted our own versions of the Great Wave off Kanagawa.   We weren’t allowed to sketch any of it out first and had to go straight in with paint.   We are all quite pleased with our results.
