Today P1 put their skills in to practise that they observed in the bank. We loved using our skills as a cashier to sort coins using the real sorting trays. Our smartboard game helped us to count accurately. We know what different amounts look like in pounds and pence. P1 have been working so hard to get better at addition because we want to be as fast as the cashiers! Super job P1!
Today was a super day for all of the infants here at Ravenswood. We braved the elements and marched up to Cumbernauld Town Centre to visit the Royal Bank of Scotland. Everyone was so nice and helpful teaching us how to be excellent cashiers and telling us what we can do to be super savers.
We checked the money carefully and used our skills in a real bank. We have our own bank now in school so we will be experts! After our visit to the bank we stopped by Tesco. We were looking for different items on our shopping list and comparing Fairtrade items to their regular counterparts. P1 and P1/2 found the Fairtrade symbol independently as we searched for bananas, coffee and chocolate. What a busy day! Tomorrow we are analysing our results. Keep checking our posts to find out more.
Primary 5 have been learning about current accounts and savings accounts. They came up with some great questions around bank accounts and shared them with their class.
Today we started Maths week with great success. We all are able to sort coins, identify coins and know what features are on bank notes. Miss Hawthorn can’t wait to see our own note designs.

Primary 1 had a very busy day back at school. Everyone enjoyed the Easter holidays and shared their exciting news to the class with talking Ted. I loved reading their news all about their time off. After break P1 enjoyed using analogue clocks to learn about time. We are experts at working together and reading o’clock times.
After lunch we practised our spelling outside. It was a beautiful day and we used chalk to reinforce our common words. It was lovely seeing our playground come alive with colourful learning by all of our P1 learners. Great job everyone!
As it was so nice we had an active treat to finish our day. We played on the pirate ship and climbed on the trim trail. Many learners challenged themselves to climb on parts of the trim trail that they had never been on before. We are growing and learning every day. Keep it up P1, soon you will be able to complete it all!
Primary 4 and Primary 5 were fantastic as they performed a show with an extra special message for the school, parents, carers, family and friends. Both classes have been working extra hard and their efforts were well received by all. The staging, costumes, acting and singing were tremendous.
Here is a short clip showcasing the talents of our learners. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate on this cold but beautifully sunny day. Happy Easter!
It has been another busy week in Ravenswood, especially when we consider the ongoing CEM testing that is taking place for P2-P7. Primary 2 had a very busy afternoon making a beautiful card for Mrs Kiernan as she left our school to work in Banton. As a special treat we worked in the area choosing different literacy, construction and play activities. What fun!
Our buddies were so excited to welcome through the Ravenswood Primary doors our new P1’s for session 2015-16. Â A morning of fun was planned by Miss Hawthorn, Miss Purdon and Mrs Simpson that included some new additions to Ravenswood….the little chicks.
After listening to all of the interesting information and after having a closer look at the little chicks, the buddies helped their new friends to decorate their very own chick. Some well deserved play was earned by all. It was such a fantastic day for going outside and playing on our pirate ship and with our playground squad games.
It was great to see so many boys and girls attend our transition day. We hope to see you all again soon for some more fun in the sun!
