More fun at Rouken Glen

We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a day of learning in the sunshine!

We met our park ranger for the day, Katy who took us to the park’s Wildlife Garden for some fun activities.

First, we looked for various natural materials in the garden including smooth leaves, something blue and even an insect! Katy helped us look around the garden just like a treasure hunt!

We then got to create our own smelly potions using materials found in the garden!

“I’m making a frog spawn potion. I put grass in it, smell it!'” Arthur

We loved playing the fun games at the end of our session with Katy. 

We enjoyed our lunch in the sunshine and then even got to have some fun in the play park before heading back to school!

Thank you so much to Katy and the staff at Rouken Glen for a fantastic day!

Treasure Hunt in our Outdoor Classroom

Primary 1 enjoyed outdoor learning day this week, where we went on an adventure in our outdoor classroom.

First we went on a treasure hunt, using binoculars and magnifying glasses to investigate our environment.

We then used our imaginations to create our own treasure maps of the playground!

  

‘We found house points at the end of our map!’ Jack

‘I found a clue!’ Cara

‘We’ve found the treasure!’ Finlay

‘We need to go through the river and that’s the castle right here’ Elliot

‘We need to go through pyramid town and then into the pyramid castle! Look house tokens!’ Rory

Lots of Learning Going On!

Wow, Primary 1!

You have certainly been taking lots of opportunities to observe and take care of your environment. You have used the outdoor classroom of the Orry and school grounds to be creative with transient art, exploring shape and symmetry and even a Widlife Watch! What a treat to transfer your knowledge of symmetry and fractions to cutting up yummy pancakes. Well done for being responsible members of the community by carrying out community litter picks and using the local library to expand your love of reading and storytelling. Your innovative inventions to solve environmental issues are very creative and demonstrate impressive, design and engineering skills.

Enjoy your well deserved Spring holiday.

Coding in P1

This week, Primary 1 were learning about position and movement in our numeracy work. We had a chance to code our own Bee-Bots, giving them directions on a map!

‘If I press this button it will move forwards!’ Cara.

‘I am directing my Bee-Bot to the shops’ Chloe.

Later in the week, we created our own maps for the Bee-Bots.

‘My Bee-Bot is following the track!’ Hannah.

We have loved using the Bee-Bots to help us learn about directions and position!
