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.

Outdoor learning fun

On Tuesday we had our regular session with Mr Reid. We were very excited to make our own fires and learn all about fire safety. Everyone was engaged in their learning, risk assessing and was connecting with nature. We had a great afternoon and even roasted a few marshmallows!

HWB community meeting

Today we were very lucky to have Melissa Dunn from our council HWB team come along to talk to partners and pupils on what actions we can we can take in the local area with a focus on sustainability and climate. They met with our eco reps in school who went along to join in the collaboration and suggest their own ideas.

Outdoor play

Life’s a beach

Today we enjoyed a fabulous day outdoor learning at Aberdour beach, exploring the landscape safely and having fun in the sand. We had plenty of exercise, made sandcastles in the sand, collected shells, pebbles and paddled in the sea. Tomorrow we will use this experience in our writing lesson to describe the beach.

Health and Well-being

This week P5-7 had the chance to train up in leading their own lunch time club. During session 1 we explored the skills we would need to be able to organise a games club and we talked about the different sports we might like to play. Next week it is an outside active school’s session.

During Outdoor Learning we created our own design of our favourite book using only natural materials. We are also very proud of our new Bike shed!

LOVE OUTDOORS:Memory Stick reflection- Part 2

This week as part of our Outdoor learning, we had fun decorating our journey sticks. We used a variety of collections from outdoors, arts and crafts and memorabilia from home. We worked together to share ideas and collaborate before getting creative! The next step is to share our journey sticks with the class reflecting on achievements, memories, challenges and growth experiences they have had this academic year.
