Learning in context

I

In the Skills Zone, we have been finding out about all different kinds of angles.  We have been measuring them and using them to find directions and compass points. 

Children in the Skills Zone had great fun making their own angle finder using wood, a hammer, nails and elastic bands.   They learned (under strict supervision!) to follow instructions on how to use a hammer and nails and the importance of measuring carefully before we began.  

I was very impressed with the maturity of the group as they undertook this work and of the skills that they learned along the way.

Spring is in the Air

Wallace 2 Vertical Group made the most of the beautiful weather last week to take their learning outside.  After a fun community builder game, we set off to explore the Sensory and Butterfly gardens to look for signs of Spring and wildlife.    There was some great co-operative work from P1 – P7.  Well done everyone!

Comenius Visitors

Murrayfield Primary School welcomed teaching staff from across Europe as part of the British Council Comenius Project.  Primary 7 pupils escorted the visitors around our school on a ‘Learning Walk’.  The visitors from Austria, Bulgaria, Italy and Poland were very impressed by all pupils and learned lots about Curriculum for Excellence and the Scottish Education system.
