For our Outdoor Learning this week we created a circle in the school ground using rakes and spade to clear an area for a Sunflower Circle to attract bees and insects to our grounds. On Friday we started to plant Sunflower seeds which will be transplanted into our circle in a few weeks. Next week we aim to plant more sunflowers and plant bedding plants into reuseable items pupils bring from home. e.g. wellington boots too small or with holes.

In math we have continued investigating symmetry of 2D shapes and calculating radius, diameter and circumference of circles which helped us with clearing a circle for our Sunflowers.

We researched different areas of daily life which the Scottish Government make decisions about. This we learned more about democracy by listening to P7 speeches and voting for the party we most agreed with.

We aim to complete writing our House/Vice Captain speeches and start rehearsing presentation techniques. We aim to start recording them over the coming weeks before sharing them with the School community. Pupils brought in Reading homework that they had decided upon in their group. I was very impressed by the amount of effort they put in to share their understanding of the book they had chosen.

In RE we  explored the Gift Fear of the Lord (Wonder & Awe for God’s creation).
