Homework w/c 19th November

Children should complete Sumdog as their maths homework this week. This will provide challenge as the questions become harder as they move up the levels and get more correct.

ERC are running a Sumdog competition this week and it would be fantastic if some pupils could make it on to the leaderboard.

All pupils have logins and passwords that have been tested in school. If any child can’t remember their login details, they can copy these down and bring them home.

If any pupils are struggling to gain access to the online activities, then a chromebook will be available for them to complete their tasks at the supervised, free,  early bird club, open daily from 8am and in the family room at 3pm (a guardian should be present at this time).

Any pupils still struggling to gain access  can speak to Mrs Nelson or Mrs McBrearty to make arrangements for them.

Thank you.

Maths in context- The playground project

Primary 6 pupils developed their skills through collating all the survey results gathered during the pupil voice outdoor learning lessons.

They had to decide which of the 4 operations to use and when. They then decided as a group how to display their results. They investigated reasons that may have skewed the results and then they created a presentation that they professionally delivered to SLT. Their work is displayed in the schools STEAM room and can be viewed by all visitors, staff and pupils.

We teamed up with Primary 1 to share the skills that we have learned with them. Primary 5 taught Primary 1 how to be safe in the school grounds and how to safely  collect resources without damaging the natural area.

We worked on math skills and helped Primary 1 children to identify numbers to ,to count to10, to identify length and colours and read the words for these. We then helped them sequence resources that we had collected.

Primary 5 loved having the responsibility of helping the Primary 1 children and they had to think carefully about their own knowledge and understanding of concepts in order to explain it to another child.
