Learning in the Sunshine

Leave a comment

Primary 5 have loved being able to learn in our fabulous gardens in the sunshine.

Expressive Arts

Today we were developing our skills in drawing still life objects. We looked at some of the flowers in our garden and discussed how everybody looks at an object differently. Some of us prefer to focus on the detail, whilst others like to look at the shapes and colours.

Taught Writing

We also enjoyed the sunshine whilst writing persuasive pieces of writing. We were trying to convince people to save the rainforests and to prevent deforestation.

Gardening

We have also been very helpful in making sure our vegetables and plants are being watered in the garden.

P2 and the Learning Dip

1 Comment

CfTcGxiUEAEVLE9Primary 2 have been discussing “The Learning Dip.” This is a point in your learning when you get stuck and think something is too hard. However, the boys and girls of P2 have learned about strategies to get back out of the Learning Dip.

Ben L – “To get out of the dip, you have to try and try again.”

Freya – “To get better, you need to reflect on your work to see how to improve it.”

Below is a link to the Class Dojo discussion videos so you can discuss them more at home!

P2 Marvellous Multiplying!

Leave a comment

Primary 2 worked hard today to learn some times table facts and recall them quickly. Some children played a timed SmartBoard game while others tried a times table board game. Some boys and girls even tried to complete a colour by number multiplication picture of a cowgirl! We also used playdough to help us create”groups of” items and this helped us visualise how to multiply.

Data Handling and Poetry

Leave a comment

Primary 5 have enjoyed a busy week learning about different poetry techniques. We have looked at rhyme, repetition, onomatopoeia, personification, similies and metaphors. We have created our own poems using the different techniques we have learnt.

We have also been working well with a partner to collect data by carrying out a survey. We then used our knoweldge of different graphs to choose the most approriate graph to present our data.
