Braco Mystery Tour
The children were learning to follow directions walking around the village, in particular left and right.
We used our hands and thinking how we write, in order to turn left and right correctly.
Walking around the village, we saw where some of us lived and learned about some of the houses and roads in Braco. We will learn more about these in the future.
Zoolab
P1/2 were joined by Nursery today to be entertained by Zoolab.
Alex showed the children many animals from the Rainforest. Some of the creatures that the children had the fortune to see and hold were the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach, a Giant Millipede, the Giant African Snail, a Chilean Tarantula, a Tree frog, a Crested Gecko, a Corn Snake and Rats!
In the Forest
Maths Week
This week was Maths Week for the whole school. This meant there was a particular focus on Numeracy and Maths.
In P1/2, in Soft Play, the children played a number of games with a Maths link such as Snakes and Ladders and Connect Four.
We linked our PE to Numeracy and Maths.
We did a couple of orienteering exercises where the children were learning to read maps, follow routes in a numbered plan, recognise shapes and score using mental addition.
The children also practised number recognition, addition and subtraction facts through racing games.
In the forest, P 1 and 2Â were making numbers in different ways.
