Author Visit to Moodiesburn Library

P4/5, P5 and P6 had great fun this morning on a trip to our local library. We had a special trip to see the author Robert Harris. He read us some of his fantastic books and even got some of us acting out scenes from them.

We were then able to buy one of his books and get it signed by the man himself! Some of us are really looking forward to reading his books and the release of his new book next April!

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.
