These activities are going on in every P7 class in the cluster and will be built on during the June visit and at the start of S1. The children will also visit St Paul’s next Wednesday for a Continental Breakfast in the Modern Languages Department.

Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy

So that the goverment can have an idea of how pupils across the country are doing, a survey is undertaken every session. Pupils in P4 and P7 are randomly selected from every school and asked to complete some assessment tasks. These are not marked in schools or linked to individual pupils but give a national picture of attainment. This year, two of our P4s and two P7s are doing SSLN tasks in numeracy. The P7s said they didn’t mind being pictured and blogged hard at work 🙂
