Primary 7/6 worked together and against the clock to complete this history loop game in under 3 minutes. They learned some new facts and also worked as a team.

Lego Challenge
We had to build a small Lego model. One team member saw what we had to build, one was the builder, and the person in the middle had to pass instructions and questions from the builder to the person who could see the model. We all thought our own job was the most difficult and it highlighted how tricky communication can be. We would like the try this again in a different role.
Using the Library
Primary 6/5 are having a lovely Friday morning. We are making full use of our school library to finish our class novel “Wonder”. We also discussed our favourite authors and genres of books before spending some quality time reading for enjoyment. 📚
Mining Workshop
STEM Challenge
We worked in groups to design and create a device that protects our ears. We have been learning about sound and how it travels as part of our Science topic. We are working on lots of meta skills here – focusing, collaborating, creativity, problem solving and many more.
Halloween Writing
Primary 7/6 put the lights down, created a spooky atmosphere and used a photo as a stimulus to create a spooky setting description.
Severe Weather Warnings
We worked in pairs to create a weather report for a severe weather warning. We included the vocabulary we think we would hear and some of us threw some drama skills into the mix!
Active Maths
Primary 6/5 have been working hard this week consolidating their learning within Number and Number Processes 😀
All Saints Day
Primary 7/6 presented a class assembly to their peers today about All Saints Day. They shared lots of important information about the importance of this feast day and their knowledge of some key Saints.
Earthquakes
We used the a jigsaw technique of cooperative learning. We had home groups and each of us went off to learn about a different earthquake and its impact. We returned to our group and shared what we had learned, which meant everyone had covered each case study.
