Throughout this week the classes have been taking part in a range of maths and numeracy activities. These have been both indoors and outdoors. Some of the classes have also taken part in live lessons linked to maths and numeracy. It has been fantastic to see the range of knowledge skills being developed throughout each session.
Mrs Lumsden Primary 6 played two different strategy games. Fifteen was played outside and in call today the children played a game called Nim, a strategy game using 20 counters. Sofia and Sophie managed to fit all the shapes into the area allowed. Well done girls.
Mrs Mr Mclean – P6 have participated in a webinar with the Royal Botanic garden to find out how to measure weather, collect rainwater from plants etc. they then completed follow up task about rain water calculations.
