Sharing Our Learning
In health and well-being, the children took part in a fun and engaging hand washing experiment to learn about germs. We used pepper to represent germs on our hands and discovered when we put our finger in the water without soap, the “germs” stuck to us. However, when we added soap, the pepper quickly moved away, showing how soap helps remove germs effectively. We then created a hand washing sequencing to help people wash their hands correctly.
P3/2 participated in some outdoor learning in maths today. They worked together in pairs using metre sticks and rulers to estimate and measure the length of different objects. They measured the objects accurately using the correct instrument and units, recording their answers in metres or centimetres. This was a fun activity which helped children develop the skill to measure using the correct unit and instrument. It was lovely to take our learning outdoors in the sunshine ☀️
P3/2 have been developing their understanding of division by using a sharing strategy with cubes and plates. Through this practical activity, learners explored how quantities can be shared equally into groups, helping them to build confidence in division and further develop their problem solving skills.
P3/2 kicked off science week with some outdoor learning using Marty the Robot. We worked collaboratively using our critical thinking skills on how to get Marty the Robot from one side of the MUGA to the other using different movements. Each group then decided to race their Marty the Robot. We had so much fun we have asked Miss Smith if we can learn more about Marty and Programming!
Our P6/7 STEM leads then planned and delivered a science experiment. We made predictions about what we thought would happen and worked as a team to carry the experiment out!
This week, we have had a fantastic time celebrating Well-being Week!
Throughout the week, we have explored the 5 Ways to Well-being – connect, keep learning, be active, take notice and give. The children took part in a variety of activities, from silent discos and smoothie bikes to martial arts, dance and fitness sessions. During hobby time, they had the chance to learn new skills such as painting, baking, play dough making and music. We also loved the chance to socialise with other classes, especially while sharing snack. In our classes we enjoyed playing board and card games and connecting with our teacher over some hot chocolate. A lovely week has been had!
