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!
P6/5 Go Wild
This week it was P6/5’s turn to head to the Forest with Rob from Kids Gone Wild.
Before , during and after our forest session we spoke about risk taking and how we can make sensible decisions based on our surroundings.
P6/5 enjoyed making dens, exploring the forest and the local wildlife and playing games.
We all got the chance to try a hammock, some of us enjoyed it a bit too much !
We also tried walking the slack line and some of us even tried horizontally climbing along the rope.
P6/5 had a great afternoon in the forest and can’t wait for our next adventure!
Aberdour Beach
P4 had an amazing time at the beach on Wednesday. They spent the day building sandcastles, searching for shells and splashing around in the water. It was a great day out for the school and good to see everyone having so much fun!
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!
