P7a and P7d enjoy the sunny outdoors!

P7a & d had a fantastic afternoon enhancing their numeracy and literacy skills using the outdoor environment.

Well done everyone! What a fantastic afternoon šŸ™‚

Miss Gavin & Mr McKay

P5c handle data outdoors!

We have been learning all about data handling.Ā  Having discussed the variety of ways used to represent data, we can interpret and draw conclusions from the information displayed.

Today, we worked collaboratively in groups of four, to gather and present data.Ā  We used this data, outdoors, to create graphs using outdoor materials.

What great fun we had! Look at our amazing pictures.

Well done Primary 5c! You did an amazing job today.

Have a happy October break to you and your families šŸ™‚

Data Handling

Primary 4a have been developing their maths skills in STEM this week. They have been discussing inheritance and comparing generations of families. They collected data on a fictional family and presented it neatly into a tally chart. They then used the data to create a bar chart and extended themselves even further by learning to create bar charts using excel! Well done P4a!

Here are some pictures of them collecting data for a survey of their own choice which they will use to create written and electronic bar charts independently.

Measurement

Primary 4a are learning to estimate the length of objects and then select the most suitable instruments to measure them. They applied the skills they had learned in the classroom to the outdoors. They worked in a team to discuss the best possible strategy to measure larger objects in the playground and Chestnut Garden.

The also used non standard units to measure the girth of trees and can explain the advantages and disadvantages of using standard and noon standard units of measurement.

Chloe, Kulsoom and Sara are working together to discuss the best way to measure the width of the plant pot/

This team are discussing how close their estimates of the length of the wall are to what they measured. They were very close!

The boys agreed that using a measuring tape was the best tool for this job!

Measurement

P4b have been learning about estimating and measure in Maths. We used our knowledge of everyday objects and our eye for detail to estimate the length of items of our choice. We measured the items and recorded and compared the results.

We then used some different measuring instruments to measure larger objects and distance outside. Our estimates improved with practice!

We estimated that Mr McGarvey would be 2m but he was 1m 12cm!
