Primary 5.1 are fabulous leaders in learning. They planned excellent outdoor maths activities for Primary 3. They included; mental maths, volume/capacity, time, measure and weight.
Making up the games was good fun, we were very creative!
I thought it was really fun and most of the children listened very well, I think they really enjoyed our games and got better at mental maths. Sienna
It was important that we planned well before going out to do the activities. Working in a group to plan meant that we had to compromise. James
I developed my teamwork, patience and kindness through these activities. Sophia
Our team were teaching volume. As part of our planning we created a game which involved guessing how many litres and millilitres a variety of bottles hold. Primary 3 were good at estimating. Arlo Our team were teaching weight. We had three different stations; weight hunt, worksheet and balance scales. Groups had to find objects in the playground that weighted the same. Oliver

Our team were teaching mental maths. We made up a mental maths tig game. The children enjoyed playing it and were quick, it was challenging teaching but I really enjoyed it. Jessica

Our team were teaching measure. As part of our planning we played a game called measure run. We placed different measuring equipment in hula hoops and then asked questions like ‘bring me a measuring tape’ the first person to bring it got a point. Lucy We also made up a football game. One person kicks the ball, the primary 3 children estimate how far the ball travelled and then measured to see who was closest. Jamie |
Our team were teaching time. We split children into groups and gave them a time, they would have to put this on their mini clock and show it. We chalked times onto the playground and one person would shout out a time. Everyone would go to that time making sure it was am or pm. Daisy |
