Another Active Week

Last week in maths we played ice-cream addition.

It was a good way to secure our knowledge of number bonds.

We were entertained by a folk group - they were good.

 





The whole school danced a celidh.

In Plan Do and Review we made boats out of junk boxes.

We then tested them in water to see if they would float or sink.

We also predicted whether a number of other objects would sink or float.

 

Our model of Stromness as seen from our classroom window is looking great - we have worked really hard on it.



Brinkie's Brae

 As part of our Welly Wednesday we had a walk around Brinkie's Brae to gather inspiration to write about our Brinkie's Brae Trow.

It was a long way up to the top but we had great views of Stromness.

Although the clouds srarted turning black we were lucky that it only started raining when we got back into school.

We drew pictures of what we could see.

We also picked materials to look at under our digital microscope.

We talked about what our Trow would be doing up at the top of Brinkie's Brae and where would he live.

We gathered lots of inspiration for our writing.

Welly Wednesday

We are having great fun exploring our environment on our Welly Wednesdays.

 

Our challenge was to find different colours of materials/objects in nature and record these on our colour palette..

Our first trip was to the Market Green, it was cold and wet but...



...we found lots of different colours in the environment around us as well as some great items to look at under our microscope.

Ms Stokes was so impressed with our learning that she took our work to Dunfermline to show other teachers.
