Outdoor learning fortnight is here!
Here is some examples of the kinds of things we have been learning this week:
on Tuesday we worked together to create a bike to school week video to show get pupils how to travel safely to school on their bikes. You can see the completed video on our last blog post.
We have been studying the compass in maths. On Tuesday we answer questions about the 8 compass points. We learned that St. Andrews drive is North of the school and which positions lots of other objects are.
On Thursday we used our compass knowledge to create our own map of the upper playground.
On Wednesday we used our compass knowledge to complete some orienteering tasks
In literacy we have been learning about creative writing. We have taken our setting of in the woods and each written a short story about this. We used photo edit on our iPads to create spooky and mystical photos of the playground for this setting.
On Thursday we recorded different onomatopoeic sounds in the sensory garden that can be used in our story. We will be recording these and making videos next week.
In reading we have been learning about aboriginal culture in Australia. We learned about cave paintings and used natural elements to create our own.
In P.E. we learned a new and exciting game all about grabbing the cone before your partner
On Friday we took 6 of the stories that were written by Muna, Hamza, Hubaib, Ahmed, Fatimah and Jalal and started turning them into films. Each team had camera operators, a director and two sculptors to work with modelling clay. We will finish these next week.
We were so inspired by Roshany’s artwork she created for the Macmillan coffee morning we decided to create our own. We used the eco garden as our inspirational setting.
we can’t wait for more fun outdoors next week!
