Our topic this term is Water. We have been learning about the importance of water for survival. This week we planted some sunflower seeds which we are going to water and care for. Hopefully they will grow very tall. During our time outdoors we used our collaborative meta skills working in pairs.
P5A have been learning about measure this term. We were fortunate enough to get some hot, sunny weather this week so we took our lesson outdoors and measured lines drawn in chalk around our playground. Pupils were able to convert these measurements from m to cm. During this task we applied collaboration and communication meta skills.
Our topic this term is Water. We have been learning all about the water cycle and the importance of water. P5A spent time outside this week looking at the best areas around the school to place a water butt to collect water. They also took time to decorate their own water butts. This task involved collaborating with peers and applying critical thinking, a very important meta skill. Next week we will monitor the water they collect.
Pupils stated that learning outdoors at the beach had helped them focus and lift their mood whilst working collaboratively to search for beach artefacts to display back in the classroom (all very important meta skills). They also stated that they enjoyed adapting to learning in a different environment and spending time outdoors with each other, even though it was a cold, blustery day.
Later in the week we used our fruit to measure the distance of the planets from the sun. We used measure and scale to illustrate this.
After learning about insects, Primary 5A used their wildlife area to gather up materials (leaves, twigs, stones, berries) to create their very own outdoor insect pictures.
We have been learning lots about invertebrates in our Living Things topic and the pupils were able to work together and find a whole host of invertebrates (minibeasts) living in our wildlife area. Pupils were very respectful of their minibeasts habitat and took care to return any rocks or stones back where they found them.
This week we have been revising our 2D and 3D shape and learning about the properties of a shape. We went outside and searched for shapes that make up our environment. The pupils had a great time taking their learning outdoors.
