This morning we were challenged to collect six number stones to create three two digit numbers giving the highest total possible.
What marvellous discussions we had throughout the challenge as well as on the way back to class! We are certainly sharpening up our mental maths and problem solving skills in primary 4.
After that we designed and made some really cool outdoor hi tech clipboards and headed out to collect some leaves and flowers to press over the October break.
What a super day for some outdoor maths today! After a fun warm up game revising place value we moved on to investigating the properties of 2D shapes and well as learning about obtuse, acute and right angles.
We also created some marvellous shapes and patterns by joining others together and using the materials in interesting ways.
Our main learning today involved using maps to find and match numbers and words on our different courses. We also learned how to describe routes and record routes using positional language.
Despite the heavy rain we enjoyed a fabulous morning outside playing some listening games and learning all about how to collect and organise different materials to represent different things on a map.
Here we are organising ourselves into a square to start off our lesson and here are some of our maps….fortunately we got some photos before they blew away!
The boys and girls in P3.10 have been keeping healthy over lockdown and have made their own smoothies! They used their food preparation skills, such as chopping and blending, to make their own Spring smoothie. Take a look!
Well done everyone for working so hard over the last few weeks and for all the amazing things you have been doing at home. Have a look at what you have all been doing below! A big thank you and well done to all your families for supporting you too.
We have had a fantastic start to the fortnight where we have had lots of interesting visitors and taken part in some fabulous activities to do with science, technology, engineering and maths. Some of the guests we have had include WaterAid, Whitelee Country ranger, the Glasgow Science Centre, a plastic surgeon, and many more! We are looking forward to taking part in more STEM experiences next week.
The children were practising their talking and listening skills while learning about the Romans this week. They worked in groups to discuss/explore some Roman artefacts from the Glasgow Museum Resource Centre.
