Numeracy Day – Open Afternoon!

Parents, carers and friends joined us in class this afternoon to share what we have been learning in Numeracy and Maths. They also took part in some of our numeracy and maths activities.

Even more fun was to be had in the assembly hall, with special problem solving challenges.

After using all that brain power, our visitors really needed some refreshments, luckily Mrs Malcolm and Mrs Phillips were on hand with a supply of much needed tea, coffee and biscuits.

We hope all our visitors had a great time learning with us!

Let us know what you thought of our Numeracy Open Afternoon by leaving a comment!  Use the “How To Add A Comment” tab at the top of the page to find out how to tell us what you think.

Many more photos to follow! Keep checking for updates from class cameras.

Parental Involvement, transition

Transition Visits from Nursery

Today we had all the boys and girls who will be starting Lawmuir in August come and visit us. They had lots of fun in class, meeting some friends and even took part in a ‘Shape Treasure Hunt’. Parents enjoyed a cup of tea and a biscuit with Lucy Roy our Parent Support Worker.

Parents were also issued with an Early Numeracy Guide to help prepare for school in August.

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs!

Today we have had lots of Easter fun. Most of it has involved eggs, boiled and chocolate!

We have had lots of fun in class looking at all the decorated eggs as part of our competition, teachers found it very difficult to decide on the winning design. Some classes went outside to roll their eggs in the playground to see who could roll the farthest and we have had an Easter Egg Hunt in school, if you were lucky enough to find a paper egg hidden around school then you could trade it for a chocolate one!

 

Here are some photos of our fun filled day. Happy Easter!

Congratulations to the winner of our Easter Egg Raffle, Kyle!
