Primary 5b have been working on developing their team working skills this week by collaborating in groups during many tasks this week.
On Tuesday they explored estimating measurements of a variety of objects. They had to estimate the mass, length, capacity and area or objects found in the class using known objects to compare it to. They worked well to listening to each others thoughts and justifications.
The children had the opportunity to lead their learning by deciding what skills to work on during their independent learning time. Some children worked as a group challenging themselves to build complicated structures using the Kapla blocks, demonstrating resilience and patience. Other children worked on the multiplication skills with a game of BAM! This activity develops their fast recall of multiplication facts in a supportive environment encouraged and helped by their friends. Some other children decided to create more stained glass windows of saints they have learned about for our RE display. The children have shown lots of creativity, kindness and excellent team working skills this week.
As it was Book Week Scotland, the children enjoyed learning about other peoples books during our Book Bingo Activity. We spoke about our favourite book and got to answer questions about it. Many children enjoyed swapping books to have a little read of other peoples books and were excited to have discovered a new author / a new books to read. Liz Pichon and Jacqueline Wilson maybe have got a lot of new fans!!
