Business Success

Today, we celebrated running a successful business and making a profit. Our Sweetie Cone company was very, very popular and we sold out of all our products. We made and sold 200 Sweetie Cones! We paid back our business loan to Mrs Friel and donated money to Cancer Research UK. The project was a huge success!

Party for Miss Gallacher

It was also Miss Gallacher’s last day with us. We have loved having her in the classroom and will miss her a great deal. She will make an amazing teacher and we wish her all the very best! Good luck!

 

P5 were very busy this afternoon developing and consolidating their mental maths skills. They worked their way around five different stations and practised their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division strategies.

Charlie – It is really fun. I like how we can turn maths into something fun!

Noor – I like that we are doing maths in a fun way!
