Numeracy - Outdoor Learning

We decided to change the setting of our classroom and ventured into the great outdoors to learn more about numeracy.  We all agreed it was great fun and we are going to try and incorporate this into our weekly learning whether it be the playground, the gym hall or anywhere else that will support our learning.

P3/2 and the Beanstalks

Inspired by Fairyland and the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk' we decided to grow our own beanstalks.  We looked at the life cycle of plants from seed to stem, predicted how tall they would grow and how long it would take for them to shoot. Most importantly we looked after them and took delight in watching them grow.  Unfortunately not all of our plants made it.  These were the ones that kept growing until the end, and I've heard stories that some of them are now in soil at home! Any pictures of the beanstalks' progress at home would be gratefully appreciated. E-mail: schooloffice.carleith@west-dunbarton.gov.uk 

Reading with P7

We love when Primary 7 come down to our class on a Wednesday to read with us.  They model good reading strategies, give us feedback and help us with tricky words and questioning. Here are some pictures of us hard at work.

Halloween Biscuits

P3/2 made some spooky Halloween biscuits just in time for Halloween.  We then used the process to write instructions for our Big Writing the next day.

Here are some of our finished designs.
