Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.
Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.
It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!
P1A had a delivery of some creative crates to extend our outdoor play opportunities. Our first problem was how to transport the boxes outside. This was easily solved as the children worked together to carry them outside. The crates and the boxes resulted in lots of imaginative play and fun outside!
One of P1A’s learning highlights has been investigating some of the new equipment that has arrived in school!
We used guttering, pipes, our new guttering stands, water and cars to set up an area for the children to experiment with the resources.
The children said they had so much fun seeing how super fast the cars went down the guttering and pipes. They also said that they enjoyed putting the water down the pipes.
Following on from the children’s learning on water 💧 staff provided open ended loose parts in the woods to support the children’s play. P1B used lots of science skills, problem solving and great communication to have a fantastic afternoon of outdoor learning!
P4/5 have been used their knowledge of division to support their work on fractions this week. we have enjoyed playing fractions games on the Promethean board, had some fun “cookie lessons” with Mrs Brearley and designed our own pizzas to show fractions.
What is your favourite pizza topping?
Safer Internet Day was officially on Tuesday 8th February this week, however we wanted to celebrate this for the whole week.
Across our classes this week pupils were learning more about staying safe online, particularly around this year’s theme, ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’. The Digital Leaders set assignments on TEAMS and SEESAW for everyone to complete.
Digital Leaders shared online safety posters with each class to display in their ICT area. and at assembly they also shared their next exciting digital challenge for our learners – task focusing on staying safe online. This competition is going to be our biggest yet, with a very exciting prize!
This week P6/7 have been developing their coaching skills during PE lessons. On Monday we worked with WL College Sports Coach on our football skills.
We love PE and really enjoy when we have coaches in to take lessons, so much so we decided to take on the role of the coach ourselves for our PE session on Wednesday.
We worked our classmates hard!
Primary 3 have been working on partitioning in maths. Here they are explaining one of their strategies.
