Lunch time leaders
Our upper school children have started to provide games at lunchtime to liven up and structure the children’s play times. This helps to keep all children active, safe and happy. Today was a great success and is helping to develop our young leaders in p6/7 with a variety of leadership skills and confidence through physical activity.
Curriculum cafe – Outdoor learning
Thank you to all our parents, carers and family members who visited our curriculum cafe this afternoon. We are committed to providing children with a wealth of learning experiences and we hope today we were able to showcase the variety of outdoor learning activities we have on offer at Woodmuir primary school. These sessions in school have helped to increase engagement in learning, encourage thinking, teamwork , resilience and creativity. The children sang beautifully and proudly represented our school. We greatly appreciated everyone who joined in today and participated in all the activities on offer.

P2/3 have been learning about weight in our measurement topic. We were estimating then measuring the weight of items in our kitchen. We were all able to estimate what weight these items were (either 1 kilogram or 1/2 a kilogram) then measure them to see how accurate we were.
P4~7 Building thinking classrooms
Today we worked on a problem solving activity called legs in the barn. We had to use our addition and multiplication strategies working with whole numbers and fractions. Lots of groups drew pictures, created a table or used the guess and check strategy.

Today we explored colour mixing and the Artist Paul Nash. We were thinking independently , problem solving and demonstrating creativity.
