Maths Week Scotland STEM Challenge

The theme of Maths Week Scotland this year is ‘Maths Tales.’ The Mad Hatter set us a challenge to work with our partners to plan, design and create a hat using specific resources. We enjoyed solving problems, working together and being creative to design our wonderful hats!

Forest school

Another wonderful day at the forest for P2. This week we worked on different knots as part of our Make Your mark achievements.

We were working on larksfoot, over hand and half stitch. Pupils worked in pairs to practise the knots.

Being able to tie a knot is a life long skill and everyone displayed resilience as they worked towards tying heir knots. Well done everyone!
