Sharing Our Learning
P5/4 were working on their problem solving and critical thinking skills this week. We worked in random groups to try to solve a problem involving a Rubik’s cube. We found it tricky at first and we are working on showing our thinking and asking questions to help us solve problems!
In Primary 7 we started our money topic this week. We began our topic by using active ways to recap our previous knowledge of money. We practised our coin and note recognition, adding up coins and calculating change. We used our collaboration and communication skills to work in groups.
P6/5 collaborated in small groups to problem solve and find as many different ways as they could to spell the word ‘kayak’ without using the same letters twice within the squares. The tricky part was they were not allowed to write up their own ideas to ensure everyone got a chance to collaborate. This lesson helped us to develop our communication and critical thinking skills. We had a look at other groups work to see how others tackled the problem and to identify different ways in which we could have showed our thinking. Lastly, we had a class discussion of what good communication and bad communication looked like during this task and how we could improve this next time.
Primary One have really enjoyed celebrating Book Week Scotland! We have enjoyed reading the new books that were gifted to us.
We had a book adventure outside with our nursery friends. All of the pages of the Gruffalo book had blown all over the garden, we had to find them and sort them into the correct order before we could enjoy the story.
We loved having our parents in to stay and play with play opportunities linked to the books in Bookbug bags. Our favourite book was The Quickest Bedtime Story Ever!
Primary 2/1 have began learning about volcanoes this week! We have used our creativity and collaboration skills by creating our own volcanoes, exploring landscapes, drawing volcanoes, and building lava caves with our building blocks. We have also used our knowledge of volcanoes in our writing. Primary 2/1 have been successful learners this week and engaged brilliantly in our new child-led topic!
