We have been outside this week using sticks and stones to help with our understanding of numbers. We used sticks for tens and stones for units and it helped us add some big numbers together !

Maths Week
We’ve been having a marvellous week this week thinking about maths and how we use it every day.
We were really lucky to have Mrs Jamil in visiting us today and talking about her career as an engineer. We learned a lot about what she does and how she uses maths every day. There were lots of questions and we are really grateful to Mrs Jamil for giving her time to share with us the importance of maths in her career.
Planting Plants
This afternoon we replanted some herbs into new pots. Mrs Gordon has a plant theatre to display them in, in our school garden.
We had to put some compost into the bottom of the pots. Then we placed the plants inside the pot. We had to be careful that we didn’t damage the roots.
Next we put more compost into the pots and then watered the plants as they looked very thirsty.
One Planet Picnic
Today we had our One Planet Picnic. We were all able to sit outside on the grass with our picnic blankets and our teddy bears. It was great fun.
We were thinking about and trying to raise awareness of using local produce grown in Scotland as well as highlighting how much food we waste and how much rubbish we collect.
Here are some photos of us enjoying our picnic.
Technology Challenge
In groups, we were given the challenge of designing and creating a maze. Mrs James showed us some examples and we tried to complete two on the interactive whiteboard.
We had to include a Start, a Finish and Dead Ends. In our groups we planned our maze on a piece of paper and then we used art straws to make our own on sugar paper.
When we had finished we went on a journey around the classroom to look at all of the different designs. We then peer assessed each maze by giving a star or a wish to each group.
