Outdoor angles

Outdoor learning today was a bit chilly and blustery, but we still managed to take part in lots of activities to work on our mental maths and ordering skills and also creating, identifying and describing acute, right, obtuse and straight angles.

Here are some photos of our challenge shapes. We had to make shapes with all right angles, all acute angles, all obtuse angles then one with a mix of different kinds of angles. There was lots of team discussion going on as we worked out which shapes fitted into which categories.

Number Bonds, Rockets and Arithmegons

Todays’s outdoor learning session was really productive with lots of team work and mental maths practise helping us complete a variety of challenges. It was dry but really quite chilly so it was great to see everyone remembered warm outdoor clothes.

We started off on the journey out to the pitch searching for triangular shaped objects. It’s amazing how many you can find when you really look! We then gathered round the base in the shape of a triangle before playing some ball games to practise number bonds to ten.

After that it was time to use some sticks, shells, stones, cones and cards to solve problems and also create some number rockets. Here are some photos of our work today.

Outdoor learning

Well today we had our first outdoor learning session with Mrs Kelly and what a great time we had. We learned all about being safe outside, our responsibilities and how to respond in an emergency. We explored our school grounds and also had fun taking part in some of games which help us learn and let us practise lots of things we have already learned too.

Fortunately the weather was kind to us today with no rain. Let’s hope it stays that way every Monday till June for our outdoor learning sessions!

Here are are some photographs of us outside today.
