Probability with P7
Primary 7 have been learning about probability and chance in maths. We did a few probability investigations and recorded our results.
Murder Mystery!
P7 have been learning about directions and bearings on a map. As part of a maths lesson we worked in groups of 2 or 3 to solve a murder mystery. It involved following clues and using a protractor to calculate bearings to identify suspects, crime scene, and weapon used. Max and Cameron worked really well and were the first to solve the mystery. The others were very close too!
P6 Maths Board games
P6 worked in groups to create their very own board games. We had to plan our games and figure out the rules. It involved using our problem solving skills. They turned out great and we all enjoyed having a go at playing them.

Our Study of China
As part of their China topic P6/7 carried out research projects on an an area of interest. The pupils worked extremely hard and produced excellent projects. Some pupils made Power Points, others made posters and Alexander even made his own video on Origami. This was great as we got to learn about some unusual and exciting things about China. Here are a few examples:
Chinese New Year poster competition
P6/7 participated in the Chinese New Year poster competition organised by the University of Strathclyde and the Scotland’s National Centre for Languages. As a result everyone received certificates for the entries and a small class book with information on the animals from the Chinese Zodiac. We are very pleased with this.
