Today we were making electrical circuits using wires, batteries, switches, light bulbs, motors and buzzers.

Spelling and estimating outdoors
We enjoyed a great warm up game today involving consonants, vowels and golden question marks. What great fun we had creating lots of words giggling and laughing the whole time too. 😂
After that we used ‘Sammy snakes’ to help us learn a bit more about estimating before taking our Sammy snakes exploring in our outdoor area searching for items that measure 1 metre.
Leaf observations and symmetry on National Outdoor Classroom Day
“Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to make time outdoors part of every child’s day. On two days of action each year, teachers take children outdoors to play and learn.”
We are so fortunate here in Mearns that part of our school improvement plan is encouraging teachers to take children out EVERY day!
Today we had a marvellous time observing and recording details about leaves that we found. We took part in some activities to help us understand the importance of recording clearly and observing closely.
We then enjoyed working in teams to produce some really creative symmetrical patterns. What a lot of learning went on as we worked together, chatting and excitedly creating them.
