Primary 5 are continuing to develop their understanding of fractions through the use of concrete materials such as counters and fraction walls to focus on comparative fractions and finding fractions of a set.
We used the materials to work through some worded problems and discussed the strategies we use to help us split and compare amounts.
To complete our work on rounding to the nearest 1,000, the children produced rockets which show examples that round both up and down to their chosen number.
Terrific work and trickier than you might think. Lots of great discussion about suitable examples. Well done everyone!
Today in Numeracy we have been learning about the Story of 5. Primary 2 have been using cubes to set out the different calculations to show their number bonds to 5.
We have been working very hard today, Primary 2 should be very proud of themselves!
For today’s Maths lesson, Primary 7 went outside to do some maths activities. We did a Maths Question Hunt with lots of different questions hidden around the playground. Along with some activities such as Place Value Bingo, a Maths Relay Race and much more. All of us had great fun and we hope to do it again.

Thursday is our story writing day. Today I would like you to write a story all about elephants. Perhaps you go on a trip and find some wild elephants, do they need your help? Perhaps you are there to make a documentary all about them now that you know some elephant facts. When your story is finished you could draw a picture to show what happened in your story.
When writing your story remember
Today you should also be revising your tricky words and phoneme. Normally we would have a spelling test on a Friday, perhaps this is something you would like to do tomorrow?
Expressive arts
Today I would like you to draw an elephant. To do this, go to YouTube and type in great artist mom – elephant. Remember to pause as you watch to give you time to draw each part. You could also include a background. You might like to add colour to your picture, you could do this with paint, pens, pencils or whatever you have at home. Remember that you are the artist and it is up to you to decide how you want your final picture to look.
