We have been enjoying the better weather this week and even managed to get outside to the P1 garden on Friday afternoon. We loved having the choice to explore outside or in the classroom and have our fingers crossed for more sunny days.<\/p>\n

On Thursday the whole school participated in Meta Moments, organised by Miss Brodie and Miss Tenby. We had lots of visitors who have a range of different jobs and they spoke to us about the Meta-skills they use to do their job.<\/p>\n

In Primary 1, we firstly listened to Dr. Eilidh tell us about the skills she uses in the hospital. Dr Eilidh uses the skills of communicating to speak to both her patients and her colleagues and the skill of collaborating as it is important she works alongside others\u00a0 to ensure her patients get better.<\/p>\n

Dr Eilidh also brough her stethoscopes in for us to try and there were some very amazed faces when we could hear our own, or others, heart beats.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

We then enjoyed a visit from Alan Potter who is an artist. Alan shared that he uses the skill of creativity in his job as an artist every day. He has to think carefully about how he can turn his customer’s ideas into reality and what materials he can use. He brought the smaller models of some very large sculptures that he has previously made which we really enjoyed exploring. Alan also uses the skills of curiosity as he is often curious if something will go to plan. He shared the important message that it’s ok if things don’t work out and he just tries again.<\/p>\n

Earlier on in the week we had a go at some number problem solving. In small groups, we read the word problem and then had to think about what we needed to do in order to solve it. We worked effectively\u00a0 together and used our whiteboards to write down any working we thought would help.<\/p>\n
