Division

We are learning all about division in maths. We have been learning to divide numbers by sharing and grouping and are starting to find out about remainders.

We have been using maths storyboards to help us. We draw a picture to illustate the maths story and use this to work out the answer to our division problem. We are also starting to think about how we can simplify our pictures into a diagram to help too.

Hard at work.

Our wiki

We have been working hard on our wiki. A wiki is a kind of collaborative website where we can work together with other classes, not just in Scotland but all around the world.

You can have a look at what we have done so far by clicking here.

You can read about our class, classroom and school. Just click on the Warddykes Primary School tab on the left and a dropdown menu will appear.

We are hoping we will be able to involve new classes in all our exciting projects.

Exciting News

Lighthouses

This term we are learning all about lighthouses. We have a very famous lighthouse near Arbroath called the Bell Rock. It is 200 hundred years old this year and is the oldest surviving sea washed lighthouse in the world!

We will be linking our learning about lighthouses to our science topic of electricity. We will be learning about electrical circuits and will make our own lighthouses with a flashing light.

If you would like to see some of the planning we did for our topic together click on the link below. Keep visiting to find out more about our topic.
