P7/6 have been working on designing a ‘maths garden’ as part of our work on the Levenseat award this year. We have drawn some plans and received some great donations that will help us plan some wonderful maths activities to deliver to our friends in the younger classes. We are getting to work on making resources for our garden next week and will be putting those collaboration and communication skills from our toolkit to good use!

Health & Wellbeing in P6/5
P6/5 have been exploring the health and wellbeing indicator ‘Safe’. We have been looking at how to spot peer pressure and different ways we can stay safe from peer pressure. We used our communication and collaboration skills to work together to create posters sharing information about peer pressure and staying safe. The pupils came up with some great ways to avoid peer pressure including “always be yourself”.
Growing Our Garden
P2/1 continue to enjoy lots of outdoor play and learning in our fabulous garden, recently renovated with huge thanks to the parent council who arranged for artificial grass, play bark and sturdy outdoor tables to be installed in the spring.
Children absolutely love using this area, so they’ve teamed up with P3/2 for a collaborative project to continue developing and improving the outdoor space. We got started this week by clearing out the summer’s debris, and have begun planting in the remaining area to welcome more nature. The children have big ideas and we’re only just getting started – we plan to invite families, neighbours and friends to help with a ‘gardening party’ very soon… watch this space!
Fun at Silver Sands
P7/6 had a great time at Aberdour on Wednesday. We played on the sand showing off that toolkit skill of collaboration and some of us were even brave enough to have a paddle in the water too. We have been learning about description in writing and today we wrote a descriptive recount about our day at Aberdour using our class describing bubble to help us with adjectives.
P3.2 Writing
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.
