We have been very busy learning outdoors and indoors at ELC! We have been learning about shapes and spotting signs of Autumn. We love playing outside with the parachute too!

Today we used our cutting skills to make flowers, we had great fun counting the flowers together.

Our challenge in P1 today was to see what we could create with 9 straws. Here are some of our ideas.
   A rocket

A house with a door handle that moves up and down

  A Ladder

  A Kite

  Shapes

Are these spellings just for 4b or 4a as well? Thanks.

In P1 we have been talking about the changes that are beginning  to happen around us. Changes  in the weather and to the trees that are signs of autumn. We painted these autumn trees by applying a wash for the background with watery paint, then we used our brush to paint the trunk and branches of the trees. Finally we painted the leaves using our fingers.

Today we were talking about our new sound “g”. We shared a story about a penguin who wanted a garden and then we drew a garden with our black pens.

P1 are beginning to think about how to form their letters.

This week is Maths Week Scotland. P7B tried out the Edinburgh University School of Maths challenge this morning. We learnt about Richard, a video game programmer, who uses maths in his job every day. He set us a challenge to work out how many security cameras would be needed in rooms of different shapes. You can try the task by clicking on this link Security Camera Challenge.

There are so many more activities and tasks you can try out on the Maths Week Scotland website just click here and explore.
