This week is a very exciting week at Kirknewton Primary School (and in Scotland) – Digital Learning Week! Primary 5 have started this morning off by learning about icons and designing an icon that represents our classroom. So far we have icons to show laptops, ipads, pencils, art resources, Eco, Earth Day, RRS and milk cartons! We can’t wait to share these images (once we finish designing them!).

Orienteering Club
For the last 4 weeks, the orienteering after school club have been having great fun learning all about the different knowledge and skills needed for orienteering. This week, we brought all of these skills together to take part in a space themed orienteering challenge using QR codes to help us. We split into teams and, by using our growing map reading skills, we navigated our way around the school to locate 10 different markers. At each marker, we had to answer a space quiz question by scanning a QR code and using the URL link to find the correct answer. When reflecting on the challenge, we thought we had used our listening, memory, sharing and teamwork skills. We also had to use our sense of direction, as well as our ICT skills.
