We have had another fantastic week of learning in P1/2.

Thinks that went well this week.

The finale of our Winter Olympics where we reflected and shared  our learning . We had been creating our own ramps for different sports and designed our own equipment. We discovered ways to make our boards or sleds to go faster by adding different materials underneath. We timed how long different journeys took and had to problem solve by adding barriers when some of our lego people went off- piste! We took into account health and safety issues.

Work continues with our Tappietourie Tourist attraction and it now has interior light fittings, signage is now displayed and the gift shop will soon be opening. The children have been busy designing and making items to sell in our gift shop and planning has continued to add food! We are revisiting money in preparation for the shop opening and it has been a little tricky remembering different coins have different values but we will carry on with this next week.

As we have been learning about Fairtrade this week we have added chocolate playdough to our classroom and this smells amazing. The children have been creating cakes and biscuits to sell in our gift shop as well as more bespoke items such as picture frames, sculptures and  models. We have also been designing and wrapping our own Fairtrade  chocolate bars ( wooden blocks)

We have also turned each child into a knight with moving arms and legs and these characters will shortly be on display on our Counting Castle wall but have been used for addition and subtraction table top activities this week.
