Sharing Our Learning
Today we collaborated in our house groups and discussed key themes that relate to ‘How Good is Our School’. We discussed each statement and grouped them into what is working well in our school and areas for development. We then discussed how we could improve the areas for development.
P3/2 have been learning about the Antarctica and Arctic Animals.
We linked our learning to the Global Goals ‘Life on Land’ and ‘Life below Water’. We learned about its unique climate, the animals that live there and how their special adaptations help them survive in such conditions. We used a variety of different materials and textures to create polar bears. We then applied our knowledge of information report writing and created information reports all about polar bears.
P4 have been learning multiplication this term. We have been practising different methods to help us work out multiplication questions. This week we focused on grouping using cubes and practising our repeated addition. We used our critical thinking skills to decide how we wanted to group them and used our repeated addition to find the answers. We used our communication skills to share our learning with the class.
This week in P6/5 we began our new block of Interest Stations. We used our critical thinking and creativity skills to create different animals and characters.
One group practiced their fondant modelling skills, whilst another practiced using their hands and tools to create models using air dry clay.
We can’t wait to improve these skills next week!
On our Tuesday in PE, P3/2 and P4 will be learning how to play tennis. We talked about the equipment we use in tennis and how to be safe with them. This week, we focused on our balance and ball control, trying to balance the ball on our racket while racing.
On Thursday in PE this term we will be learning how to play benchball. This week we focused on our throwing and catching skills, practising our over head throw and chest pass. We used our communication and collaboration skills to pass the ball within our groups.
