Outdoors on a beautiful, sunny day in the school grounds was the perfect venue for a morning of active maths. P1-7 buddied up to take part in measuring, timing, weighing, sorting, matching, searching, creating…and having LOTS of fun!

P3/4/5 visited P6/7 to ask them questions about the incredible Anderson Shelters they had made as part of their WW2 topic. Can you spot the washing on the line and the wood-chopper?

The children worked in Cooperative Learning groups to share what they already knew about the Rainforest, then each found three new facts to share with the class.

P3/4/5 pupils enjoyed a visit to our classroom to play the WWII board games. Everybody had time to play a couple of games they wanted to play. There was much laughter and excitement as people competed with each other to win. Comments on the different games were very positive and the buzz in the classroom clearly indicated that everybody was enjoying themselves.
Over the years, ‘Mini Pots of Care’ activity has raised over £3.8million- that’s a lot of daffodil pots and enough money to provide nursing care for terminally ill in their own homes. Thank you for your donations and for your support in our forthcoming Yellow Day. Below is a gallery of pictures showing our decorated pots.
Our buddy activity this week was to improve Mrs Armitage’s bicycle. The two classes enjoyed listening to the story of Mrs Armitage adding lots of unusual items to her bike. The P1/2 and P6/7 buddies came up with many wonderful and new inventions!
We have been getting to know our P1/2 buddies. It was fun chatting with them and finding out a few things about them:
Favourite food Any pets? Best toy Favourite TV programme
Favourite place to go What are you good at? Something funny
Then it was time for an outdoor challenge and a game of Pink Elbow!
