There are lots of Numeracy websites and resources that can be accessed at home at that can help improve mental agility. Having quick and accurate recall of Multiplication and Division facts is vital within P7. We have to apply this knowledge within a range of Mathematical contexts and so if this knowledge isn’t quickly accessed it can cause some barriers to new areas of learning. Likewise, having confident number bond knowledge is such an advantage. Practise makes perfect, boys and girls! 🙂

I’m pleased to say that Aimee is our most recent Student of the Week! She is relentless in her pursuit of high standards and adopts a pro-active approach within all tasks. Please read the lovely things that her classmates have to say about her on our window…

I will be issuing the specific success criteria soon in terms of volume, body language etc, but in the  meantime get researching, boys and girls. Who will you choose?! Some people have already mentioned Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and Maya Angelou….

Parents and carers, it would be amazing if you could support the children in this task and encourage them to push and extend themselves even further. 🙂

Today P7 completed their first poem in their new unit of study. We will be building up our skills in applying figurative language (such as simile, metaphor and personification) and will also be looking to be innovative with structure and style. We’ll post more soon!

We have been working hard to improve our Multiplication knowledge as we know that quick, independent recall of this is absolutely vital across MANY different areas of Numeracy and Maths and is such a key building block for us. Some of us came into P7 without having this information at our fingertips and so we tested ourselves in a speed test back in August to see what areas needed development. After Multiplication being prioritised for homework since August, we then undertook another speed test today to see how we’ve progressed. Please take time to ask your child how they got on and if they have any other further development needs in this area. We’ll support this in class too.

Many thanks,

Miss Mac.

Congratulations to the boys in girl in P7 who worked hard throughout their three whole day Bikeability sessions. Tday on the roads near the school they executed some excellent right hand and left hand turns. We’re proud of you and send thanks to the ER team for assisting us! (photos by Oliver)

Today we tackled the latest Deputy First Minister’s Challenge! It called for us to reason logically when working through the stages of the problem. We had to pay very close attention to the wording of the question! Well done, guys!
