Sharing Our Learning
This week in Building Thinking Classrooms, the children had to work together to find all the numbers between 1-100 before the time ran out. The pupils used their collaboration skills to work in their groups, their communication skills to share their ideas and their critical thinking skills to work out how to complete the task.
Primary 6/5 have been learning all about Ramadan the last few weeks in preparation for our upcoming Ramadan assembly. We have been learning about when Ramadan takes place and why Muslims celebrate Ramadan and how they celebrate. One of our class members brought in some prayer mats and the Qu’ran for us to have a look at which was wonderful to see!
P6/5 thoroughly enjoyed our outdoor learning session this week. We went to the woodland area behind the school and our first task was to find and identify different types of plants and trees using the branches and leaves. Next we had to build a den using team work and our communication skills. Before heading back to school we measured the average age and height of trees using our counting and measuring skills.
This week in PE, Excite came in to work with P7. We practised our under arm throws and our aim in different games. We also had a few games of rounders, developing our collaboration and communication skills along with our striking and throwing skills.
This week we have been learning about the story of David and Goliath. In this story David showed perseverance and courage – two of our school values. We discussed ways we display these values and then worked collaboratively to sequence the story of David and Goliath. We then designed pebbles which are used in the story and wrote some positive words on them.
