Sharing Our Learning
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.
Our Junior Road Safety Officers and Rights Respecting Schools Steering Group worked with local policemen to carry out speed checks on Main Street with a view to assessing how safe the roads are around our school.
This was a really interesting exercise and the children were disappointed to find some drivers speeding. This has provided us with useful evidence as we begin to plan how to improve this in order to keep our pupils safe.
Introducing our new Wellbeing Ambassadors. Our participatory budget was spent on a Wellbeing Training Program for children. We have had a great afternoon learning the Five Ways to Wellbeing and look forward to planning ways to teach the rest of the school about this.
We learned the importance of being active to improve our wellbeing.
We enjoyed some mediation and a hot drink to calm our brain and to take notice of how we feel.
We practised gratitude.
We helped to shape the role of Wellbeing Ambassadors at Longridge Primary School.
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.
In class we learned all about how to safely and correctly prepare food. We focused on the importance of washing our hands and surfaces before making our own fruit kebabs. We also learned how to correctly cut fruit safely. We had lots of fun and enjoyed eating our fruit kebabs.
