P3 @dedridgeps went to the woods today! We made paint out of mud & water 🎨, examined bugs 🕷, drew swans 🦢, built a den out of huge sticks 🪵 and wrote a scavenger hunt for our next visit 🗒 #outdoorlearning #dedridgegoesforawalk West Lothian Council

P3 @dedridgeps celebrated @BookWeekScot by reading Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. We then made our own Paper Dolls 👩🏾‍🤝‍👩🏽👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾 #bringingbookstolife #BookWeekScotland #juliadonaldson

Primary 3 @dedridgeps carried out an experiment to investigate the stretchiness of sweets. They discovered the thinner the sweet, the more they stretched. West Lothian STEM

P3 @dedridgeps were problem solving in the messy garden today. Some balls got stuck in the tube; how can we get them out? 🤔 Other learners wanted to make a swing, we experimented with different knots to find the strongest hold #outdoorlearning West Lothian Council

P3 @dedridgeps engaged in a task today which required collaboration and problem solving. The pupils were asked to create the 5th pattern in the sequence and explain their thinking. How do you see the pattern growing? West Lothian Council WL Numeracy and Maths Jo Boaler

P3 @dedridgeps had a games hour today 😊 Play Scotland states that play promotes the development of ‘language skills, problem solving, gaining perspective, representational skills, memory and creativity.’ We had loads of fun too! West Lothian Council #playistheway #playeveryday
