Sharing Our Learning
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.
This week we have been learning about the story of David and Goliath. In this story David showed perseverance and courage – two of our school values. We discussed ways we display these values and then worked collaboratively to sequence the story of David and Goliath. We then designed pebbles which are used in the story and wrote some positive words on them.
This morning we had a visit from the community police officers. We learned all about the role of a police officer, how they keep us safe and then we got to try on some of their uniform and kit.
In P3/2 we have been developing a thinking classroom. During maths we have been working on solving different problems using our critical thinking, collaborating and communication skills whilst using Math Talk Moves – Turn and Talk and Wait Time. Today P3/2 co-created our success criteria, which helps us understand how to be successful in a task. Miss Smith was super impressed we came up with all of these by ourselves. We then used our success criteria to successfully solve the problem.
