Primary 7 braved the cold weather today and went outdoors for our maths lesson. We were working in groups to enhance our number work in fractions and problem solving. We believe that working outdoors improved our learning in an exciting way. We had much more space and we did not need to worry about making lots of noise to distract other classes. We were writing on the ground using chalk which made us less worried about making mistakes. We all know we need to make mistakes to learn from them! We all had a ball and are excited to use the outdoors as a second classroom more often!

Primary 7 have enjoyed participating in Tobacco Education. We have learnt lots of interesting facts and statistics. We particularly enjoyed the ‘Smoking Machine’ which showed us the impact that 1 cigarette has on your lungs! Do you know that there are over 4000 chemicals in one cigarette? We have all asked our parents to make a pledge to have a smoke-free home and car as second hand smoking is extremely dangerous!
