Pupils v Staff Netball!

Every Thursday, Miss Clerkson and Miss Allan run an after-school netball club for P5-P7 pupils. The children have really developed their confidence and skills over the course of the year and have enjoyed some success at recent netball competitions.

Today, their practice session took an unexpected twist, when it was gatecrashed by a group of very competitive teachers!

The boys and girls in the team had been keen to pit their skills against the teachers, and everybody had a great time at this afternoon’s session!

The scoreboard might show that the teachers were very successful, but there may have been (more than) a little bit of cheating happening!

After School Family Learning Club

After school yesterday, we were joined by some parents and children for the first session of our After School Family Learning Club.

Mrs McCulloch, Miss Allan, Miss Duncan and Miss Findlay worked with our parents and pupils on ‘Number Talks’, which is a new numeracy initiative being taken forward in our school.

The pupils and their parents worked together on a variety of calculations, investigating and learning new ways of working with numbers.

We have seen a big improvement in the ability of our children to solve calculations using efficient strategies since introducing Number Talks in our classes across the school. Many of our pupils are now much more confident in their understanding of number and their ability to tackle difficult calculations using a variety of strategies.

Keep it up everyone!
