We had our last session of African drumming this week with Joy! The bairns (and staff) have loved it. The class had the chance to perform in front of the whole school where they played brilliantly! I was so proud of them (as always) as they put on a great show. Big thank you to Joy!

Thanks to everyone who came along for our (busy) learner led afternoon today. It was so lovely seeing everyone. (Thanks to Maisie, P2, for taking the photos!)

For our “Big Question” this week – we are looking at sound and I was asked how it travels (great question!) So we looked at the idea of particles all around us and the vibrations causing bumps and it travelling in sound waves! We then did a game where they had to work out what direction the sound was coming from! Great fun was had by all!

We did some maths outside. We made a number stair case, multiplication and some tens and units!

Here is a snap shot of some of the things we have been doing this week for our animals play projects.

It was such a lovely day that we decided to do our maths outside. We were looking at measurement and had a challenge to beat Miss Hunter on finding five different things and use words like “bigger,” “longest,” “longer,” etc.

Following our big question on mapping last week… we had to do Pirates for our play projects this week!!

We have been looking at mapping and have been creating our own maps, including a map key!! Some even created more maps during their play and some even did them at home!! Great work, primary 1/2.

We love being outdoors!

On arrival, we have some speedy skills to carry out. This might be to write the perfect letter or number or to write a sentence or a word or even complete a sum…
