Activity Based Learning

Shoebox houses

To connect our activity based learning experiences to our World Around Us we have been working in small groups to create a room to allow us to build our own shoebox house. The children have thorough enjoyed exploring and designing their rooms and building with a range of scrap materials.

• Rice or pasta (uncooked)

• Ends of bun cases (cupcake liners)
• Ends of Ribbons
• Ends of String or wool

🪵 5. Build a Nest

To help us build cosy nests, please send in:

Primary 4 Teachers

🎃 Halloween Activity Day Recap 🎃
We had a spook-tacular time celebrating Halloween! The day was filled with creativity and problem-solving as pupils took part in a Halloween Maths Trail, tackling fun and challenging puzzles with a seasonal twist. We also unleashed our artistic side by creating spooky artwork, showcasing imagination and Halloween spirit. It was a fantastic way to combine learning with festive fun—well done to everyone who took part!
