Good luck to all of our National 5 Maths pupils with their exam tomorrow!!

A big thank you to author Kjartan Poskitt who sent our S1 pupils signed bookmarks after seeing their World Book Day 2022 activities inspired by his book series ‘Murderous Maths’. What a lovely surprise!

Our pi day staff coffee morning raised £157.12 for SCIAF! Thank you to all staff who participated and gave generously!

Miss Milligan and Miss McIntyre’s class created ‘pi chains’ where each colour represents a certain number. As well as posters and pi skylines (pi lines) where the height of each building represents a digit of pi!

Mr O’Donnell’s class practiced reciting pi to as many digits as possible whilst balancing a ‘pi pole’!

Miss Clelland’s class experimented with ‘light trail photography’ by drawing the digits of pi using torches. Activity inspired by Chris Smith @aap03102 on twitter!
