Primary 4a have been exploring the season of autumn this week and developing skills across the curriculum. Have a look at some of the work we have been doing.
We explored some autumn pictures using the VR headsets. We discussed what we could see with our peers and used the scenes as a stimulus for creating our own autumn pictures using different textures.
Lastly, we applied all our ideas to writing and wrote our own acrostic poems!
Eastwood House
This afternoon as part of our Outdoor learning, we went to Eastwood House to learn more about our Local Area which is our topic. We found out about the history of Eastwood House and then did a quiz about what we learned.
VR Headsets
During Digital Technology Week we have been using a range of technology to enhance our learning experiences. Have a look at us trying out the VR headsets.
Local Area topic
We have been using the Chromebooks to find out about local businesses in our area and why they are important to the local community. Then we created some information leaflets about a local business.
We also designed our own business which we thought the community needed. We had to think of a name for the business, what it would sell or provide and explain why it would be important.
Primary 3b have already been very busy, this term. Have a look at some of the things we have been learning.
This week, outdoors, we were consolidating our knowledge of times tables and addition strategies. We collected sticks, bark, leaves and stones.
We created pictures using the materials we had gathered. We allocated each object a value and then we calculated the total value of our pictures. We had a lot of fun doing this challenge.
“My favourite part of this was collecting all the stuff. It was like we were going on an adventure.” (Aleena)
“I liked making the pictures and calculating what value they were worth.” (Cian)
“I liked collecting all the stuff. I also liked working in my group with Gabriel E, Samuel and Cian.” (James)
This term, we have started doing gymnastics in PE. This week, we were stretching, balancing and working on controlling our bodies. We had some very talented leaders and demonstrators.
“I liked demonstrating jumping over the bench. My favourite part of it was choosing three shapes to make with my body.” (Mia)
“I liked doing the bridges in gymnastics. I loved being a team leader.” (Sarah)
In Talking & Listening, we learned about children’s and teachers rights. We had a group discussion about what we thought were rights and what were responsibilities.
Today, we had a real treat trying out the new Virtual Reality headsets. We had a go at using them to get used to them. We are looking forward to using them as part of our learning this term.
Digital Technology
We tried using the Virtual Reality Headsets which we have recently got in the school! We absolutely loved using them!
Maths fun
We regularly use Kahoot quizzes to help consolidate our learning in class. This group were playing a division quiz!
We also enjoyed practising our times tables through multiplication snap!
Talking and Listening
We have been working together in small groups to discuss the importance of our rights and responsibilities which we have been learning about in our topic!
