P7 made the most of the superb weather during the first few weeks of September and managed to get outside for some outdoor learning.
Our World Around Us topic this term is ‘ The Blue Planet.’ At this time we were learning all about water sources within our homes and school and how water is readily available to us all by just turning on the tap. The children completed a homework task to draw a plan of their house and label all the water sources on it. This then led to discussion as to why some houses have more water sources and the realisation that some things within our home need a water source to actually work.
This then led to the children going outside and drawing a plan of the school building and labelling on all the water sources in school. They thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and they soon came to realise that the concepts of ‘scale’ and ‘spatial arrangement’ proved more difficult than they thought.
