P3/4/5 Judo session
We were very lucky to take part in a judo session run by the Commonwealth gold medal winning athlete, Louise Renicks. Primary 3/4/5 had great fun this afternoon during their session.
Primary 3/4/5 Exploring Numbers
Primary 3/4/5 have been using blocks to explore place value. The children created models then used their place value knowledge to calculate how many blocks they used in total. This week’s homework is reinforcement of our place value work and hopefully the children will enjoy sharing their learning with you at home.
