During maths week in September  we discussed how maths can be applied outside the classroom. We brought in items from home to show how we could use our maths knowledge in real life.

Alisha – I brought in an egg timer and measuring spoons. We use these at home when cooking .

Beth M – I brought in a recipe for rice crispy cakes. We used the measurements to help us measure out the correct amount of ingredients.

Jessica – I brought in a cereal box which had information about weight on it.

Renaska  – I brought in digital scales which we use at home to measure the weight of ingredients.

Primary 4/3 worked with a partner to decide on success criteria for creating a poster. They looked at a variety of ready made posters and decided with their partner why it was successful. They then used their ideas to create a list of success criteria to use when they make their own posters.

Primary 4/3 have been enjoying learning about ‘The Skeleton’ and ‘The Organs’ in Science.  Primary 4 carried out research using videos and the internet to make notes. They used their notes to create these informative and eye-catching posters on their chosen human organ. Primary 3 created these labelled diagrams to show that they know the names and position of important bones of the skeleton.
