Den Building in G1-3

Tha a’ chlann air a bhith ag obair cho trang an t-seachdainsa is mar sin, dh’fhalbh sinn a-mach dhan raoin-chluiche gus dens a thogail. Dh’obraich iad ann an dà bhuidheann gus planadh a dhèanamh mus do thog iad na dens aca. Tha mi cinnteach gun aontaich sibh rium gun do rinn iad deagh oidhirp!

Tha children have been very busy this week so we took to the playground to build some dens. They worked in 2 groups to plan the resources they would need and to discuss what their dens would look like. I’m sure you’ll agree that they did a fantastic job!

Music Making in P1/2

We listened to music called ‘The Storm’ by Benjamin Britten. After lots of practice with the instruments we made our own composition of the storm from our story about the Loch Ness monster.

National Numeracy Day

On the 19th May P5/6/7 spent the day applying their numeracy skills and learning new strategies to support them with their learning.

In the afternoon they took their maths outdoors. They measured the perimeter and area of the football pitch, went on a mathematical fractions scavenger hunt and displayed data through pie charts and bar graphs using natural resources.
