Primary 1/2 – term 3

We used the Outdoor Classroom regularly this term and it’s very popular with the children.  They made good use of the materials that are there – wooden pallets, tyres and pipes.  We also take some of our own resources like art materials and some PE equipment.

We have seen children growing in confidence as they participate in the trails, assessing risks whilst jumping or moving from one  obstacle to another.

Here is a Sway of other photos taken at the Outdoor Classroom.  You’ll need your child’s glow details to view it.

Pilmuir Primary have recently acquired 3 sizes of wooden blocks to add to our range of toys.  There are big blocks, medium sized blocks and small blocks.  The children enjoy playing with them, on their own or in small groups.

The girls made a city.
I wonder what the ramps are for.

The small blocks are all the same shape and are good for making pictures.
These are the tallest towers, ever! They did not collapse – well done girls.
