P2 Getting to Know 3D Shapes
P2 have been learning about the properties of 3D shapes. They have been working hard to identify and describe some common 3D shapes. Here they are matching their shapes to their names and descriptions.
Izak 9 in P6
Primary six took part in an active maths workshop with ‘Izac 9’. This is a versatile maths resource that challenges pupils to solve problems across various concepts. It also encourages team work and cooperation. Pupils in room 14 gave it a big thumbs up.
Exploring Patterns through play
P1a enjoyed exploring patterns using their choice of resources.
Comparing Costs
Primary 5 were successful learners last week as they used their class iPads to support their learning in numeracy. The class were set an online shopping challenge comparing the costs of either a new football kit or outfit for a party from two different shops. Some of the children were surprised at how much a new football kit would cost! The children were successful in comparing the costs from two different shops and deciding which shop would be the best value for money.
P5, 6 and 7 Pupils Pilot Izak 9
P6 were first to find out what’s in the box! A set of 9 cubes with different colours, shapes and numbers on each face of the cube. Animated characters, Abacus and Helix set the pupils some challenging maths tasks on the screen and the pupils are encouraged to plan, do, review and make sense of the tasks as a team.
The teams worked really hard together and enjoyed finding different ways to solve the problems set. The tasks generated a lot of discussion and excitement, especially when completed!
P5 had great fun putting Izak 9 through its paces. Delighted faces when problems were solved!
Some P7 pupils stayed after school to try out the resource. They tried out some more challenging tasks involving fractions and precentages. Well done!
Thank you to Franz for giving up his time today to show us this fantastic resource.

P1b use the Beebots
Today p1b made a map of the school and navigated our little Beebot to different places. We used our knowledge of counting to 10 and positional language to help us control the Beebot. We really enjoyed this activity and can’t wait to do it again! 
P4/5 Rounding Fun
