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.

Positive Choices Week

Designing Fitness Games for Primary 1

As part of Positive Choices Week, P7B/M have been working in teams of four to create games that are not only fun but promote getting fit. All week they have been designing and then testing their ideas to see what would make an ideal fitness game. Today they worked with a buddy class to give their games the ultimate test and let Primary 1 loose on their ideas. Each team got to work with 3 different teams of Primary 1 children and the feedback they received they took on board to adapt their ideas as they went along. Well done to everyone involved and a big thanks to P1 for being our guinea pigs today.
