OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY

Primary 6 have been spending lots of time outside today as it is Outdoor Classroom Day.

We completed our comprehension activities and moved about as we identified literal, inferential and evaluative questions.

During our maths problem solving we were all working on measure.

Some of the groups were measuring trees and others were challenged to find a stick exactly half the length of another.

In the afternoon we were back out for the daily mile!  We were really pleased that the weather was dry.

Working together to answer inferential questions.

Interesting way to measure trees!

Finding sticks and measuring tree heights.

Maths Week

As part of maths week last week, Primary 3 took part in a 2D shape and 3D object hunt. The squares used tally marks to record the data and the triangles displayed the information by using chalk to draw barcharts on the playground. We liked being outside and observing 2D shapes and 3D objects out in the environment.

Whilst the shape hunt was underway, the squares applied their learning about following directions and planned routes around the playground using right and left turns.
