As you will be aware our Power Off and Learn Outdoors (P.O.L.O) Days are running on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
Primary 4 – 7 should come to school tomorrow ( Tuesday) dressed for all the fun in their outdoor clothes appropriate for the weather, no school uniform please.
Today we’ve had a fantastic time raising money for Sports Relief. All the money raised goes towards helping others – half the money stays in the UK and the other half goes towards helping people in other countries around the world.

This week in Maths we have been learning about Fractions, particularly equivalent fractions. Some equivalent fractions we learned are: one half is the same as two quarters, one third is the same as two sixths and one fifth is the same as two tenths.
We had great fun making pizzas to show equivalent fractions.
“I enjoyed making pizzas for fractions – they looked so delicious when they were cooked.” – Ryan
“I had fun making the pizzas, it helped me to learn more about fractions.” – Innaya
This week has been very busy in Primary 4/5. Read some of our comments to see what we have been up to.
“I enjoyed starting our new reading book – Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My favourite part so far has been learning about the characters.” – Ross
“This week I enjoyed making fractions with pancakes in Maths. I enjoyed this because we got to eat them at the end and they were very tasty!” – Kieran
“This week I enjoyed playing with the different magnets and finding out which metals are magnetic. We tested different magnets to see which one was the strongest. The strongest one was the wand magnet.” – Darby
“Next week I am looking forward to creating a fraction pizza using halves, quarters and thirds.” – Anthony
“I was so happy when Iona returned to school yesterday. It was great to see her so happy to be back in class!” – Nicole
Welcome back Iona, it’s great to have you again! 😀
Today we have been learning about Fractions. We used pancakes to show halves and quarters. We made half of the pancake with jam, a quarter of the pancake with chocolate spread and the final quarter was plain.
I enjoyed making fraction pancakes, it was so much fun and I couldn’t wait to eat it!” – Megan
“We learned that one half is the same as two quarters. I liked the chocolate part best!” – Innaya
“I enjoyed halving and quartering the pancake, I especially enjoyed eating it!” – Anthony
“Today I enjoyed colouring halves and quarters because I enjoyed choosing the colours. I enjoy doing fractions because they are fun and I feel more confident with Maths.” – Briony
