Sharing Our Learning
On Wednesday, the whole school enjoyed a trip to Aberdour Beach. We had lots of fun playing in the sand, building sandcastles and playing in the water. Today, during our writing lesson we described our time at the beach using adjectives, describing bubble and our 5 senses.
This week P3/2 have been developing their communication and collaborating skills through a range of activities. We worked in groups in class to build towers using dried spaghetti and marshmallows – we used creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration to create a tower that would stand. P3/2 also participated in Building Thinking Classrooms where they had to collaborate using their critical thinking skills to solve the problem. We then collaborated with P4 during PE and P2/1 for outdoor learning.
Our Health and Well-being Mini Champs hosted a healthy cafe this morning. During this they shared the 5 ways of well-being and the ways our school promote the 5 ways of well-being.
P3/2 have made the most of the lovely sunshine this week as we took our numeracy learning outside. We took different measuring equipment out and explored different items in the playground to measure. We had to work out what the best measuring tool would be to measure and then use the correct unit of measurement. We then worked collaboratively in groups to solve problems during Building Thinking Classroom.
Our Anti-Bullying Ambassadors and Health and Well-being Mini Champs have worked alongside Mrs McLaren, Mrs Murray and Miss Smith to update our school Anti-Bullying Policy. This morning the HWB Mini Champs shared the policy and strategy with pupils and parents. We then had the pleasure of watching ‘Hope’, a production all about bullying which shared a very important message on how bullying can impact your life, why someone may be a bully and the importance of telling a trusted adult if you are or know anyone who is being bullied.
