Sharing Our Learning
Our Primary 1s used their collaboration skills to explore to book ‘Gruffalo’s Child’. Primary 1 collaborated with the nursery to create Gruffalo cookies, Gruffalo tea (and biscuits!), Gruffalo crumble, and build the Gruffalo’s home using the construction blocks. This collaboration session allowed our pupils to be successful learners and confident individuals through supporting each other in activities. We had a super fun afternoon seeing our book come to life!
Our Health and Wellbeing Mini Champs have worked hard with Mrs. McLaren and Miss Smith to develop and create a new Anti-Bullying Strategy. On Thursday we were joined by Fischy Music who taught us songs all about kindness, respect, friendship and bullying. We showcased our learning at a concert in the afternoon and our HWB mini champs launched the new anti-bullying strategy.
P5/4 were working on their problem solving and critical thinking skills this week. We worked in random groups to try to solve a problem involving a Rubik’s cube. We found it tricky at first and we are working on showing our thinking and asking questions to help us solve problems!
In Primary 7 we started our money topic this week. We began our topic by using active ways to recap our previous knowledge of money. We practised our coin and note recognition, adding up coins and calculating change. We used our collaboration and communication skills to work in groups.
P6/5 collaborated in small groups to problem solve and find as many different ways as they could to spell the word ‘kayak’ without using the same letters twice within the squares. The tricky part was they were not allowed to write up their own ideas to ensure everyone got a chance to collaborate. This lesson helped us to develop our communication and critical thinking skills. We had a look at other groups work to see how others tackled the problem and to identify different ways in which we could have showed our thinking. Lastly, we had a class discussion of what good communication and bad communication looked like during this task and how we could improve this next time.
