Hard at Work
During Maths Week Scotland, Primary 7 continued to work hard on increasing their mental agility skills and sharing their different strategies with one another when solving calculations.
Primary 7 were lucky enough to have a visit from Monica and Gillian from Barnardos today where they learned how the brain develops and works emotionally. She taught the children about the five simple things that feed a healthy brain. The children learned skills to use when working with their Primary 1 Buddies.
Hard at Work in Primary 7
Primary 7 focused on pattern when creating their line drawings in Art and Design. They are continuing to build on skills they learned from Mrs Galloway in Primary 6.
They also have been working on Sumdog, an individualised ICT programme to help to raise attainment in Maths. The children have access at home also.
The children passed on their knowledge and helped mentor the Primary 1 children on good social skills and interacting kindly with others. This is all part of their Pope Franics Faith Award.
