P5d Outdoor Learning

Despite the bad weather, P5d persevered and went outdoors this week to do some Maths work.

Last week, we went to the Chesnut garden and collected sticks and other materials that were lying around the ground. Before we went out, we discussed what we might need to look out for.

This week, we went to the outdoor classroom and created symmetrical pictures and patterns using these shapes.

We also used our knowledge of 3D and 2D shapes to create models and pictures of shapes.

We worked in teams of 5 or 6 to read our brief and then collaborate to create our ideas.

Well done P5d. You worked very hard as a team and enjoyed your learning outdoors.  🙂

Angles

Primary 4c have been exploring angles in their local environment. We went on an angle hunt to find as many angles as we could in the playground. We learned that a right angle is 90 degrees, an acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees and an obtuse angle is bigger than 90 degrees. We even used sticks to create our own angles. Look what we found.

Writing Directions

 

What did we do?

Daniel Lawrence and Valentina – “We walked to the library and we took notes whilst we walked to record what directions we took. When we came back to class we put our notes into proper instructions.”

What skills did you learn?

Zara – “We learned to use bossy verbs.”

Paul – “We learned how to read and write directions.”

Luke – “We learned how to take notes and use our notes.”

Why was this useful?

Alex – “Directions will help me if I get lost.”

Patrick – “When I am older I will be fast at taking notes.”

Ewan – “I could give someone clear directions.”
