Primary 1 have finished our ‘Alice in Numberland’ Maths week with some fantastic pattern work.  We coloured the Cheshire Cat with new patterns and designed new top hats for the Mad Hatter. We had such a lot of fun and fantastic learning this Maths Week. #MWSREN @AttainRen

Primary 4 have been working hard learning and practising their new spelling scheme.  There are so many different activities to try!  Continue reading New spelling →

Primary 1’s Maths Week homework is amazing! We found so many pairs of household items, hearts around the home, hundreds of clocks and hats galore. Thank you for all your hard work, the children have loved Alice in Numberland Week! #MWSREN @AttainRen

P3 made some fantastic and terrifying monsters as part of Maths Week. We counted how many arms, legs, eyes etc our monsters had! Then we decided to use our knowledge of adjectives to write descriptions about our Monsters! Have a look!

Our chosen Disney film for Maths Week was Monsters Inc! We have had such a fun week using our monster themed Maths activities and challenges! We focused on revision of the concepts of odd and even, numbers to 100 and  number bonds to 20. Have a look at us in action!

Mickey’s 90 and we have been learning through the context of Toy Story this Week.

We have been learning about estimation through helping Little Bo Peep find her lost sheep.

We have been learning about the language of chance and probability through our favourite toy story characters.

We have been sorting toy story characters in different ways including making a block graph and using a Venn diagram.

Children have been learning about money through the RBS Money Sense ‘How we use money’ workshop.  We learned the differences between needs and wants, and talked about decisions as to whether we spend, save or donate our money.

Some of us chose to design and  make Hamm piggy banks during active maths this week.

We have been involved in learning with Primary 7 in the hall today and we were able to use our prior learning on data handling and money.

We had a very successful trip to Elderslie shops supported by several parent helpers.  Thanks for taking time to join us and support the childrens’ learning. The weather was kind to us… as were the staff and customers in the shops we descended on! We worked with a partner to spot different kinds of shops in our community and products within the shops.  We each had £1 to spend and as you can imagine most of us chose our favourite sweets and juice.  Some of us got change and some of us had difficult decisions as to what we could afford with our money.  However each class had a pupil who had over 60p change- so they will be able to save it for another day.

Primary 1  engaged with the outdoors again today when we collected materials to create our own playing card pattern. This was influenced by the soldier playing cards from Alice in Wonderland.

Primary 1’s Role Play area is based on the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. We sorted the tableware into the correct colours.

Primary 1 had visitors from RBS today, learning about ‘needs and wants’. Thanks to our visitors.

We also sequenced daily routines with a partner relating this to our Alice in Wonderland. #whiterabbit   #MWSREN @AttainRen
