Inukshuks- Outdoor Learning

 We have been using natural resources to build 2D and 3D                                                             Inukshuks.                                                                  

 

“I preferred building the 3D because its not lying down. I had to build the stones on top of each other, which was harder.  It was important to choose the right stones to balance” Sean

“We build 2D Inukshuks because we thought it would be easier as it would take less time. We didn’t need to try and find the right stones to balance on each other. We could challenge ourselves next time to build a 3D one” Emma Ormsby

Eglinton Arms Tour

“The honeymoon suite is for the couple who got married in the Eglinton Arms. We got to hear about all the different jobs at a hotel. I liked all the jobs and I never knew there was small wedding room in the hotel” Aimen

“I liked it when we saw the secret room and the windows opened with a control. The housekeepers keep the rooms nice and clean” Harry Rissmann

“There were old pictures in the bar that we looked at” Sophie

“It was surprising that there wasn’t a number 13 room in the hotel” Alex

 

Silly Billy by Anthony Browne

Nicholas “We made worry dolls”.

“We got to take them home and tell them our worries” Finlay

Eilidh Mackie- “We read a book called Silly Billy. He worried about lots of things so in the story he made worry dolls to help.”

Alex: ” My favourite bit was when he worried about hats because to me hats are really not that scary.”

Harry Rissmann “It was funny when he was scared of clowns, shoes and rain  but we have to remember that everyone is scared of different things.”

“We made the worry dolls by wrapping wool around a peg” Andrew

Emma Coyne - "I liked making 'sh'words". Marcus - "There are lots of 'sh' words. Aimen - "I liked making shiny paper 'sh' words. Hamish -
The children were learning to sound out and spell words with the phonic sound ‘sh’. They used memory strategies, word banks and displays to help them. Their spelling skills and communication skills will improve as they practice their phonic sounds throughout the year.                                               Emma Coyne – “I know lots of ‘sh’words”.
Marcus – “I can see and hear lots of ‘sh’ words.
Aimen – “I liked making shiny paper ‘sh’ words.
Hamish – “I have ‘sh’ in my name!
