We have been learning what the 10 x table is all about!
We worked with a partner to collect 10 things then we added them to what had been collected before.
We now know our 10 times table!

Blair Drummond Outreach Programme
Primary 5 would like to say a huge thank you to Stuart from Blair Drummond Safari Park who came to visit today.
Stuart delivered a fun filled and informative workshop which covered topics including animal adaptations, animal behaviour, food chains/webs, saving our animals and much more. We were fascinated when he passed around some items including a real lion skull!
It was also great to hear about the charities Blair Dummond Safari Park support though their ‘Link to the Wild’ projects.
P2J Outdoor Learning
We have been looking for and identifying minibeasts. We looked at their habitats.  Despite the cold weather we have found lots hiding in different places.
We decided to make homes for them to hibernate in.
Here they are
We made ours by the wall.
We made ours in the forest.
We made ours under the trees.
We all had lots of fun!
P3/4W Haiku Poetry
Today P3/4W were learning about Haiku poems. Haiku poetry is traditional in Japan. Each Haiku is only 3 lines. Each line follows a pattern of syllables 5-7-5.
