Leave a comment

Today we welcomed Sheena from Alzeimer Scotland  to deliver Dementia Friendly Training to our P5/6 class. 

We learned abot the 5 key things you should know about dementia. 
  1. Dementia is not a natural part of ageing.
  2. Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain.
  3. Dementia is not just about losing your memory
  4. It’s possible to live well with dementia.
  5. There’s more to the person than dementia.
We had fun playing games and taking part in activities that helped us think about what dementia might feel like. 
Our next step in our learning about dementia is learning about how to take good care of our brain through Brain Health Scotland https://www.brainhealth.scot/

We were delighted to receive a certificate and badge  to say that we are now trained as Dementia Friends. Well Done P5/6!

 

P5/6 – Shape

Maths: Shape
Angles

As part of their focus on shape, Primary 5/6 have started learning about angles. They started off by going on a right angle hunt around the classroom followed by a hunt for acute and obtuse angles. After this they discussed the unit of measure used when considering angles (degrees) and explored the use of a protractor to measure the size of angles.
