Sharing Our Learning
P1-4 had fun celebrating Scotland’s success at their first World Cup match. There was lots of team work, listening skills and creativity on display as children made posters, played bingo, set up goal challenges, researched countries and played collaborative games. No Scotland No Party!
P2/1 have been working hard to do Wonderful Walking, good listening and responsible tidying as a class, and have earned ten thumbs up! As a class reward they chose a pyjama and movie morning, and used some upcycled boxes to create a cosy cinema area to watch from.
P2/1 and P7/6 have been developing collaboration skills with parachute games this month. It took a lot of cooperation and teamwork but this week we achieved our goal of a “walking turtle!” This requires everyone to work in sync to create a floating dome that stays inflated while children move as one from inside.
P1-4 had summer vibes this week! Three classes worked together, using our food technology skills to make healthy ice cream from frozen fruit and cocoa powder.
Children also designed menus for their own ice cream shop, used their talking and listening skills to complete orders correctly in a digital Ice Cream Parlour, and used their knowledge of symmetry to finish ice cream designs.
This week P2/1 were inspired by two of our favourite things – pop up books and dinosaurs! Children made hatching dinosaur puppets inspired by Rob Biddulph, and learned how to make their cute creations move by selecting the right parts of the model to stick together, leaving other areas free to move. It was a very fiddly job that helped strengthen little hands, but the children agreed it was well worth the effort.
