Last week Primary 2 were excited to share their learning on measure and weight with their parents. We had 4 stations set up and it was a very hands on activity for all! Well done for getting through all your tasks estimating and comparing your results. I liked my mum coming in because she helped me do my tasks (Jaxon, & Theo). I liked it because all the parents helped
Last week, Primary 4 conducted a traffic survey on Old Edinburgh Road as part of their learning in relation to Information Handling for Maths. The road doesn’t look that busy in these photos but there were actually lots of different colours of cars to count, even Flynn’s mum’s! We now know that when we are doing a survey we need to concentrate really well so that our results are accurate.
Primary 3-7 have been entered into this! It runs each day from 8am to 8pm so you can take part at home as well! Good luck everyone and enjoy!
Thanks again to everyone for buying raffles for the P7 Enterprise initiative. The sales made a profit of £97.23 after the children paid back the money borrowed to buy the prizes. Fantastic work P7!! This money will contribute towards your P7 End of Year Treat. The winner for P1-3 was Ava (P2) and the winner for P4-6 was Lucy (P6). Well done girls!! We do hope you enjoy your basket of surprises.
Over the past few weeks, our Numeracy focus has been on learning all about fractions. Today, the children created a Pic Collage with a partner from their group to show what they have learned. Here are a few examples for you to see. You can ask your child to explain such terms as an improper fraction or an equivalent fraction! I’m sure that you’ll be impressed!
There was lots of active learning in the playground as Primary 2 pupils used chalk to draw grids and find the coordinates. It helped pupils remember to start along the bottom and walk up to find their grid reference. We made it into a game and if they landed on a drawing they were frozen to the spot.
Pupils in P2 enjoyed having their parents and guardians in for the second time this year. This time our learning was about 3D shape. We built 3D shapes using lollipop sticks and marshmallows and talked about the properties of each of them. We also sorted 2D and 3D shapes. It was a fantastic turnout and thanks to everyone who came!
P2 have been working on their subtraction skills. They have been using a numberline, cubes and iPads to help them find the smaller number. Our three stations consisted of Maths workbooks, Smartboard “Building Expressions Game” on Topmarks and a dice challenge to consolidate their learning.
P7 enjoyed a carousel of learning activities to consolidate their times tables. Pupils rotated around four stations: IPads using ‘Hit the Button’ game; Times table written challenge; Snakes and Ladders multiplication game and peer assessment of each other saying their times tables. Here they are working hard:
During the 11th-17th September it was Maths Week in Scotland. Primary 2 have been learning about Planning The Year. During Maths Week they have been successful at recognising and ordering days of the week, months of the year and the seasons. Primary 2 have also been fantastic at singing the days of the week song and the months of the year song. To consolidate their learning they were doing various
