Sharing Our Learning
Today we collaborated in our house groups and discussed key themes that relate to ‘How Good is Our School’. We discussed each statement and grouped them into what is working well in our school and areas for development. We then discussed how we could improve the areas for development.
P3/2 have been learning about the Antarctica and Arctic Animals.
We linked our learning to the Global Goals ‘Life on Land’ and ‘Life below Water’. We learned about its unique climate, the animals that live there and how their special adaptations help them survive in such conditions. We used a variety of different materials and textures to create polar bears. We then applied our knowledge of information report writing and created information reports all about polar bears.
This week in P6/5 we began our new block of Interest Stations. We used our critical thinking and creativity skills to create different animals and characters.
One group practiced their fondant modelling skills, whilst another practiced using their hands and tools to create models using air dry clay.
We can’t wait to improve these skills next week!
Happy New Year! P2/1 have settled in very quickly to this new term and got straight back to their learning and play. Children spent time this week creating lovely artworks of their families and homes. They combined a variety of different art techniques including oil pastels, watercolours, collage and coloured pencil. Children thought carefully about the shape and style of walls, windows and doors to best represent their home, and produced artwork that really demonstrates just how unique and special the children’s homes and families are in real life!
This week we have started to look at information reports in writing. This has encouraged the children in O6/5 to do their own research on different topics that they are interested in. They have used their critical thinking skills to choose what to research, identify the key facts and organise their ideas.
