Hill of Banchory

This week some of the children from P7 attended a Maths Challenge morning at Banchory Academy, with all of the other schools in the cluster. There was a logic round, a group problem solving round and a relay round in pairs. The children exhibited fantastic team work and transferred a range of maths skills in each round.

“It is fun to interact with children from other schools and the maths was challenging but fun.” Peter P7C

“It’s been very nerve wrecking but exciting at the same time.” Carmen P7R

“I enjoyed the group round, we worked well as a team.” Alex P7R

“My favourite part of the morning was the logic round.” Liam P7C

“I really enjoyed the maths challenges but loved seeing the academy too. ” Jessica P7R

“I think our teamwork has been really good.” Robbie P7C

Very proud of all the children but a special congratulations to the winning team of Grace, Peter and Erin.

Baldybane Theatre Group visited p7 today to deliver a workshop on road safety. They delivered dramas and held forums discussing many subtle aspects of road safety. The children were very engaged and participated enthusiastically.. The characters Jack and Ronnie had a lot to learn about keeping themselves and others safe. Lots of the p7s gave them some exellent advice. We learned about the breaking distances of cars and road safety facts.  Ask them if they remember any!
