We have been discussing how we are all different and unique as part of our school assemblies and school Charter. We are drawing self portraits to express our own appearance and personality traits and they are looking fantastic!

Describing characters
Today we started our writing lesson having a blether about a few unique characters! We were practising using adjectives, similes, metaphors and alliteration to describe appearance and personality traits.
Outdoor play
Rich Tasks
1~2 Nim
Today we played 1-2 nim which is fun, challenging and rewarding. We were practising basic counting and arithmetic. We started with a pile of counters and on our turn, we removed one or two counters from the pile. You must take at least one token on your turn, but you may not take more than two. Whoever takes the last token is the winner. Lots of collaboration and communication taking place here.
A few of today’s highlights
Introduction to money
Today we were very lucky to have a finance lesson from Claire at money advice Scotland, covering a brief discussion on the history of money and why we use it. Lots of super activities and discussion around coins and notes along with a focus on other types of common payments.
