Month: October 2019

This week the children have been studying famous Victorian inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell, James Watt and Kirkpatrick  MacMillian. The children learned about inventions and advancements in technology and transport during the Victorian era and how they have benefitted society. All children worked very well with a partner and were able to research information and create a poster about an inventor. Just a reminder that the homework project for the class showcase is due in November. Children have been tasked to create their own invention using recycled materials. 

During Maths week Scotland, Primary 6 were visited by a nurse who showed them how she uses maths in her job everyday. The children learned how nurses use numbers to determine the condition of their patients and what care they require. We also had a visit from East Renfrewshire Money Management who taught the children about saving money and how much it costs to have a car, a house and go on holiday.

 

We had a Kahoot maths challenge where the children teamed up with Primary 6a. The questions in the challenge covered maths topics we have looked at this year and revision from last year.  Well done to all for participating and congratulations to those who made the final and our winners Yasmine and Kayla.

The children also had the chance to create their own maths games. Number guess who was a hit.
