We took part in some outdoor learning this afternoon. We joined Primary 7 for a walk around the area to look for some Beat the Street boxes. We thought about all the learning that took place: exercise, fresh air, enjoying talking about the environment, working with others, thinking about mapping skills, participating in a national initiative and getting vitamin D!

This is morning we started to learn about area. We tried to measure the area of a hotter using different 2d shapes but everyone got a different answer. So some pupils suggested we should use things that were the same shape and size to measure the area. We experimented using counters and unilink and in the end we used squared paper to draw shapes of different areas. Why don’t you experiment at home?
