Primary 2/3 have been learning about growth mindset. The smart cookie taught them that we all have unique strengths. The story also taught us that if we can’t do something, with the right tools, support and confidence we can achieve what we thought impossible. ⭐️

Primary 2/3 have been considering how they are unique. We created some self portraits in bold colours and shapes inspired by Todd Parr’s illustrations in the book, ‘It’s Okay to be Different’.

Both P5 classes visited Duncarron Medieval Village near Carron Valley where we had two guides lead us through a selection of Roman activities. Great day, poor weather!

#P5S and #P5UA took our Roman learning outside where we practised the Testudo - a tactic used when laying siege to enemy fortifications. We used our trays as shields to protect ourselves from tennis balls!!

As part of outdoor learning day, #P5S practised times tables and number sequences through running races and worked together to assemble a jumbled story into the correct order. We also used flash cards to order into a variety of numbers such as largest, smallest, odd, multiple of ten etc…

Primary 2 and 3 have been showing their understanding of time by playing ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?
