Sharing Our Learning
P3/2 have enjoyed developing their communication, collaboration and critical thinking skills during Building Thinking Classroom tasks. We worked together on different problems and worked collaboratively using our thinking skills to solve the problem.
In Primary 4, we have been learning about tessellation. We have been investigating why some shapes can fit together to create patterns and other shapes. This week, we were learning how to make shapes with other shapes. The pupils were using their collaborating and communication skills working in their small groups. They were using critical thinking to come up with different ways to make a rhombus and a hexagon using different shapes.
P7/6 have been learning to write ‘daringly detailed descriptions’. We have created our own describing bubble to help us with vocabulary to add detail into our descriptions of setting and character, making them more immersive. We have taken a stroll through a tropical rainforest, described some familiar characters and this week, combined both. We have written some excellent descriptions about arriving at Hogwarts or experiencing a safari through Africa!
This week, P4 went out to the forest with Kids Gone Wild. We had an amazing time looking and exploring at our surrounding, we then got to have a shot on the hammocks, the slack line and the rainbow net. We also had time to build a den or two. The class showed great communication and collaboration skills when working together to build dens.
We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Fauldhouse Community Development Trust who have kindly offered such wonderful opportunities for our learners. The children experienced a lesson with a football coach and a chance to take part in a Little Chefs cooking class.
The children learned how to make pancakes, it was great fun although eating them was even better!
