Leaders in Learning

June 21, 2019 Ms Paton

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

World Book Day

February 28, 2019 Ms Paton

We had really good fun during World Book Day! Before the actual day we created, planned and wrote our own stories to read to primary 3. We had to think about out audience. We planned characters and setting and an exciting plot. We all really enjoyed reading to them and they gave us very good feedback!

Life Savers in P2! HEARTSTART

April 30, 2016 Mrs Toman

We have been learning what to do

in emergency situations,

who to ask for help

and what we can do to save lives.

Finlay and Katie from P5 demonstrated what to say and do if someone is unconscious.	Emma and Niamh from P5 showed us how to put someone in the recovery position.
Call 999 for an emergency.	Sarah and Kenzie worked in a pair to practise putting a person into the recovery position.

Lucy checked for danger before approaching Oliver to offer her help.	Sarah shouted for help. She gently shaked the casualty to check if he was conscious. Next she checked for signs of normal breathing.
Finlay gave very clear instructions on the steps to follow.	P5 and P2 worked together to share learning and possibly save a life one day. A most important lesson!
