Today we had the first of our outdoor learning mornings for the    year.  We have a few projects we would like to complete this term.

• Seasonal planters for the school entrance.
• New mural for the playground.
• Prepare veggie patch.

We crammed loads of learning into our morning.  Here is what the pupils said.

ART :

We sketched designs for the new mural.

Gardening:

We weeded the planters.

We harvested our crop of broad beans that were planted last term.

We cared for our environment and learning in our outside space.

Maths:

We used scales to weigh the beans.

We counted the beans.

We estimated how much the beans weighed and how many we had gathered.

We used Number Talk strategies and formal algorithms to solve problems.

Group Work:

We worked together.

We discussed ideas.

We voted democratically!!!
