I am so proud that we have won a Sumdog certificate for our school and the fact that it is for accuracy is even better! 👏👏⭐️ Continue to make Sumdog a part of your everyday maths routine and i’m sure we will all see the results.

I thought you all deserved a school trip! Head over to the virtual classroom and  into the STEM page for week 3. Activity 1 is a virtual reality task where you can choose some really amazing things to look at.

Remember the new way to access the virtual classroom is from your glow launchpad. It won’t be in the same page as your blog tile, you have to click the little building on the left hand side of the page and this will take you to the North Lanarkshire council page. You will find the multicoloured virtual classroom tile on this page.

Look at my instructional picture below.

Let me know where you go!

Below is a powerpoint all about mental health. It’s important to take time for ourselves and to be able to talk to people about our feelings. There are a few tasks to complete at the end of the powerpoint.

1. Continuing with our work on Money and in a slight change from problem solving on a Wednesday, I have a PowerPoint for you to read through. Now due to the current situation how we pay for items has changed slightly as we’re encouraged to pay using the contactless method of payment.
