Manipulating elastic bands on Geo boards is an excellent activity to build fine motor skills and help pupils to recognise shapes.

We had a lovely surprise when one of the ‘Oor Wullie’ statues, along with some of our local police officers came to visit P1.

Children are natural problem solvers. By building structures using different materials, they learn about balance, weight and movement. In and out of the classroom we give them lots of opportunities to investigate and use these.

We threaded cereal hoops on string to help develop our fine motor skills and count quantities of materials.
