Teddy Bear Enterprise

Leave a comment

As a class we have decided to sell raffle tickets for a giant teddy bear to raise money for the school. We will sell tickets during lunch and the winner will be announced at the Christmas concert. We conducted surveys to begin with to gauge the level of interest and recorded our data on tally sheets. Over the next few weeks we have decided to use Google Sheets to record ticket sales to monitor profit and loss and number of tickets sold to each class. We will then generate and interpret the charts to find out how successful we have been!  Finally we will send out a Google Form for pupils in other classes to fill out to find out how we could change the enterprise for next year.

Archery After School Club

Leave a comment

The boys and girls in Primary 5 were offered the chance to try out archery at an after school club run by Miss Macdonald and Mrs McCulloch. The children learned about all the parts of the bows and arrows, and, more importantly, the safety equipment and rules to take part.

Below, you can see Courtney, Carys, Skye and Lauren H sharpening their skills.

All of the children said how much they enjoyed this sport. It was fun to learn all about the parts of the bows and arrows, how to load the bows, and how to stand

We have been working hard this term to improve our skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by completing a 50-a-day task. This means that we have ten minutes to accurately complete fifty calculations each day. We correct each other’s work and calculate a percentage score. If we achieve 100% three weeks in a row in any of the disciplines, we move up to the next level of difficulty.

Already there are many people who have moved up! In addition, Ben G has reached level 2. In subtraction, Skye and Dylan are on level 2. In multiplication, Skye, Carys, James, Madison, Lauren H, Hannah, Lianna, Lauren McE, Caitlin, William, Ben M, Sameera and Grace are on level 2. In division, Carys, Hannah, Caitlin, William, Ben M and Grace have reached level 2.

We celebrate others success and achievements and learn to be determined to do our best.
