P3/2 and P4 are focusing on gymnastics this term in PE. This week we were practising our balancing skills. The pupils showed perseverance when trying different balances and kindness when helping others to try new balances.

Learning to Measure in P2/1
P2/1 are learning how to estimate and measure length this week. We’ve been measuring all sorts of things, including superhero footprints, classroom furniture, each other, and even Mrs Carty! P1s showed some brilliant counting skills as they used paper clips, pencils, cubes and their own feet to measure length. P2s learned about metres and centimetres, and searched the classroom for things that are bigger or smaller than a metre. The children showed great collaboration as they helped each other measure their items accurately from end to end, and used “White Hat Thinking” to check that their team-mates had their facts right!
P2/1 enjoy using books and stories to develop their mathematical understanding, sometimes they give us great ideas for new measuring missions!
P7/6 Levenseat Trust project.
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!
