Scouting for Shapes in the Great Outdoors! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ธ
โ€‹Our P7 pupils stepped into their roles as mentors today, teaming up with their younger buddies for an exciting 3D shape hunt around the school grounds!
โ€‹It was a fantastic morning of peer-to-peer learning where the P7s guided the younger children in:
โ€‹๐Ÿ” Scouting for real-world examples of spheres, cubes,cuboid and cones.
โ€‹๐Ÿ“ฑ Mastering Tech by using the Keynote app to photograph and document their discoveries.
They also had fun playing board games while other groups completed the outdoor task.
โ€‹๐Ÿค Connecting and building meaningful friendships across different year groups.
โ€‹Seeing the P7s support their buddies with such patience and enthusiasm was a wonderful example of our school community in action. Digital skills meet geometry—all while enjoying the fresh air!
