Collaborative Learning in P3/2

This week P3/2 have been developing their communication and collaborating skills through a range of activities. We worked in groups in class to build towers using dried spaghetti and marshmallows – we used creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration to create a tower that would stand. P3/2 also participated in Building Thinking Classrooms where they had to collaborate using their critical thinking skills to solve the problem. We then collaborated with P4 during PE and P2/1 for outdoor learning.

Kids gone wild!

P7/6 had a great time today learning outdoors with Rob from ‘Kids Gone Wild’. We evaluated how confident we felt about learning outdoors before our session today and will return to our ratings after the next session to see how our confidence has grown. We problem solved, collaborated, used our critical thinking skills and the ever important school value, perseverance!

Sports Day

It wasn’t quite the outdoor event we had planned but we had a great afternoon regardless of the weather! The children had fun competing for house points, their enthusiasm and sportsmanship was outstanding as always. Thank you to our wonderful teachers and parent volunteers who helped to make this event a success.

Buddies

P7 and P2/1 had some fun on Friday during collaborative PE. We used our communication and collaboration skills to play different parachute games and had lots of fun with our buddies!

Lockerbie Day 3

Our final day has arrived all the children have enjoyed their final activities at Lockerbie. This morning we all did Manor Olympics where we played different team games by collaborating together. Our final sessions were initiative and bivvi where we used our problem solving skills and critical thinking skills to build dens and worked to solve tricky challenges. We are all excited to get back home and tell everyone what we have been up to over the last few days 😊
