It’s Outdoor Learning Week!  We’ve had a brilliant time taking our learning outdoors all week and, luckily, the weather has been kind to us (so far…).  The focus for our writing this term is setting description, which works really well for outdoor literacy work.  When we describe a setting, we often use prepositions.  As any primary four should now be able to tell you, prepositions are words that tell us where things are in relation to each other.  For example, a boy sat under a tree.  Primary four went out to our lovely playground with iPads to photograph each other acting out prepositions.  They had to show: beside, under, in, above, next to, behind, around, near to, far from, on and over.  Here is their work:
