We spent a lovely afternoon at the stoney beach our favourite place. Our intended learning was to revisit road safety, beach risky play particularly rock climbing and the sea depth.
We found some interesting treasures and we enjoyed a windy beach explore. Pupils were using descriptive words to describe rocks and shell patterns.
Pupil voice
‘I think being outside makes me in a happy mood’
‘This rock is stripy but in a circle kind of stripe’
’I found two fossils can you believe it, I know what kind of creature is in here!’
‘The sea is wild waves today, I wonder if the poor fish feel sea sick!’
‘I found a cave and when I put my hand on, I felt a creature inside it!’
What better way to spend the first international day of play than to be outdoors exploring all day. We started our day at Bigton Farm where Amy showed us farm life, we fed pigs and were up close with many animals. We then spent time at St Ninians beach before eating lunch at Dunrossness school and heading to the park on the way home. We are so grateful to our hosts at the Dunrossness school and Bigton Farm for bringing learning to life for Primary 1.
