Mathematicians in P1b

Today in maths P1b put their memories to the test and were revising lots of maths concepts that we have already learned about in P1.  We remembered the names of 2D and 3D shapes, we worked on sorting and identifying coins to £2 and we measured pictures of objects carefully using paper clips. We also revised our adding, time telling and pattern work on the iPads.  It was hard work!

As well as all that – we learned something new too!  We worked on the mathematical symbols for greater than > and less than < and compared different numbers to place the greater than and less than symbols correctly.  We are getting really good at it already!

iPayimpact – Online Payment System

Many thanks to the 90+ families who have already registered for our online payment system. This is proving to be a great success, not only in Bankton, but across the James Young Cluster of schools. Very soon we will be using this system for school trips, residentials, uniform orders and tickets for school shows. P.1 – P.3 staff have reported a rapid increase in numbers of parents ordering school meals online. To help you choose something your child will like, I have also uploaded the West Lothian Visual Lunch Menu to the Useful Documents page. This visual menu was produced by Emily Sinclair, Bankton’s Support for Learning Teacher and is now used throughout West Lothian to help children with Additional Support Needs. However, it has also proved very useful for younger children, to help them choose something familiar for lunch.

Thank you once again for your support!
