P4/5 Make games for P2

P4/5 designed and created games that used magnets. The pupils worked co-operatively in groups to plan, problem solve and create games that would be suitable for a P2 audience.

P4/5 then shared these games with P2. They had to explain how to use the games and support the pupils to be ensure everyone was included.

P2 were encouraged to engage with the games and think about how well the games were designed and constructed.

P4/5 planned feedback forms and supported the P2s to share their views. P2 scored each success criteria out of five and gave 2 stars and a wish.

P4/5 will write instructions for their games next week.
All pupils were fully engaged in this experience and demonstrated the school values by being: responsible, respectful, kind when supporting each other and including everyone.

Jupiter Artland Trip

Primary 5 enjoyed a wonderful creative adventure to Jupiter Art Land! We learned about art installations and sculptures in the natural environment. We used our senses to express our emotions and describe our interpretation of different types of art work. Applying what we had learned, P5 became fabulous sculptors and created their own ‘clay creatures’ using items we’d collected on our walks through the sculpture woodlands. We had a fantastic day!
