This week, primary pupils have been celebrating maths week. It started off with a whole school assembly on Monday about the importance of maths for every job and that maths is everywhere! In class they have been busy working hard on their maths with each class producing a ‘Beauty in Maths’ display, which was the focus of maths week this year.
A huge thank you and well done to the parents (for driving) and bairns who completed the family maths challenge. You did a super job, hopefully you had fun with your families and noticed that maths is all around. Libby drew Morgan’s name out as the winner so she will get her prize when we get back after the holidays!
The Open Afternoon was a chance for parents to come in and visit classes and see the different games and resources used to teach maths. We also had out the Numeracy packs that we put home pre covid as a homework resource. We will be using them for homework next term so look out for more information about them after the holidays. We also left out leaflets on how to help your child at home with maths, the link to the leaflet can be found here where you will find other resources to support you at home.
Primary 6/7 organised a Bring and Buy sale on Thursday afternoon to coincide with the Open Afternoon. The Bring and buy sale took in over £160 and P67 are going to decide after the holidays how to spend the money and they are going to donate all of the toys and books leftover to Shoard.
