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.
A huge well done to Primary 5’s who have created fabulous 70’s posters as their homework task this term. They showcase your learning of the 70’s and will make a fabulous display!
Primary 5’s enjoyed taking part in the Lidl Health Factor on Tuesday. On the Lidl Bus they chose 3 different fruits to put in their smoothies and found out that they should only have 200ml of fruit juice or smoothie a day as fruit contains natural sugars. The children also took part in racing games measuring their heart rate before and after the races. We also learnt that we should be doing an hour of exercise a day and eating healthy foods such as fruit and vegetables. Remember to use your £2 voucher to buy some fruit or vegetables and your recipe books to cook some delicious and healthy food!
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.

Primary 5 were inspired by some of Ed Moses’ artwork today. The children created their own paintings after looking at some of Ed Moses’ work. They used pieces of cardboard to create the lines in their paintings.
A special thank you to Kayley who researched and shared the artist as part of her 1970’s topic research.

Primary 5 worked in groups today to research some recipes for the Ready, Steady Cook challenge. Groups focussed on recipes with potatoes and onions as part of the ingredients to make sure we were using what we had grown in the garden. Keep following the blog to find out which recipe is chosen through a vote and what the final dish looks like!
