Great wee play session in the morning. 20 minutes of collaborative building to act as a stimulus for our free writing (whilst I pull out the spelling groups) #playinupperprimary

These two wee games for time telling practice have a lot of legs! #playinupperprimary

Superb results from a 20 min morning of collaborative play #playinupperprimary

The sustainable city now has a cycle path - and a half! Have loved teaching time through a global goal lens #sdg11 #playinupperprimary

Couldn’t feel our hands but a great afternoon of maths in the forest! #playinupperprimary

Another quick tabletop game that can be played whole class whilst still offering challenge and pace 🙌 #playinupperprimary

Better than a tuff tray?

Near infinite uses for a transparent spinner and so easy to setup for your class #playinupperprimary

A game show classic for Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. Lots of choice and differentiation and really simple to setup and adapt #playinupperprimary

Bus Timetables 🚌

This is one of those activities that has so many layers to it and opportunities for the kids to take it in novel directions.

If you like the sound, I now have a wee podcast where you can get 10 mins worth of ideas for the classroom weekly #playinupperprimary

Loved this finale to our outdoor angle/coding unit. Working in small groups to design a racetrack for our colourful bushcraft buddies, ensuring there were a range of 45, 90 and 135 degree angles present #playinupperprimary #outdoorlearning

Now that key bushcraft skills taught, changed up our outdoor sessions to free play with the equipment - this mini monster elevator utilising a pulley was awesome! #playinupperprimary

In all my time teaching with K’nex, never seen something quite as impressive created by a pupil 🙌 #playinupperprimary

Connect 4 Multiplication

I think someone must have done this before as it’s such a simple and versatile activity for your learners to pick up and play. An instant hit with the class #playinupperprimary

Spelling Consolidation ✏️

A great one to play with your whole class or in smaller groups to revise previous weeks spelling pattern(s)

Lots of practical maths activities this week for developing & recapping place value in grade 4. Lots of group work & individual assessment at this time of year. All my resources on TES are free 😁 (@lkeeney01) #maths #activemaths #playinupperprimary #PYP #placevalue

P7/6 have enjoyed practising times tables and coordinates through games! Thanks to @mr-minchin.bsky.social for the inspiration! #playistheway #GlasgowCounts #playinupperprimary

Loved these Anemometers created by the kids today as they learned about Da Vinci and investigated air resistance #stem #playinupperprimary

I adore K’nex but this much cheaper alternative has a huge amount of scope for block play and exploration of structure #playinupperprimary

4 super simple maths games 🙌

Love these as they all transition from one to the other - and they also involve all learners being active and participating throughout #playinupperprimary

5 activities - just one chalk grid! #playinupperprimary

What a glorious start to the year ☀️ a whole morning spent outside playing maths games #playinupperprimary

Core maths skills focus but largely multiplication and times table recall as we head towards end of term #playinupperprimary

Music doesn’t need a music room 🎶

Great way to explore rhythm, notation and playing collaboratively in the outdoors #playinupperprimary

Incredible start to the day with my class creating some superb ferris wheels 🙌 #playinupperprimary
