This week we have been learning different ways to add money.
We have to learnt add using partitioning, a blank numberline and rounding.
With a blank numberline, we break up the smaller amount into easier chunks.
P2 worked with the P7 children to make dinosaurs using different skills. The P7 children gave us instructions on how to make the dinosaurs. We worked together, we followed instructions and we used good listening skills to make this a success.
Aaron said, ‘it was fun working with a buddy’. Max said, ‘I loved making dinosaurs with Harris and Matthew. Kimberley said, ‘I like using my cutting skills.’ MacKenzie said, ‘I liked cutting and sticking’. McKenzie said, ‘I like working with my buddy.’ Tyler said, ‘I liked gluing.’
Miss Tuke came into class and shared with us a stem activity with Fred the worm.
McKenzie Hilditch told us all about how he won a lot of medals for Taekwondo.
Well done McKenzie!
We are enjoying our daily mile.
We have enjoyed adding and subtracting numbers and skip counting in twos.
We made up our class charter for P2.
On Tuesday 4th October all pupils from P5-7 attended a Food Careers Event being held in Livingston. The event had lots of stalls from different food industries for the pupils to visit. Some stalls shared information about different companies and possible careers. Some stalls gave pupils the opportunity to try to identify foods, smell coffee beans or have a shot at some Silver Service. The favourite stalls were definitely the ones where pupils got to try some food. There was a stall that encouraged healthy eating by making smoothies but to blend the smoothie they had to pedal on a bike. Another stall showed them how to make some fancy white chocolate and a special jelly which all tasted lovely! The event was a great way for pupils to see the range of careers out there linked to the food industry from farmers, butchers, chemists (flavourings), nutritionists (humans and animals), web designers and so much more.
On Wednesday 5th October a team of seven P7 boys headed to Dechmont Law in Livingston. They were joining other pupils from across the council to compete in a cross-country event. The team consisted of Harris, Jason, Rafael, John, Noah, Scott and Adam. They had to run a 1.1km course that involved flat and hilly ground. The boys did the school proud and represented Greenrigg well.
FUN FOOTBALL NIGHT
A huge thanks to Sibbalds for the donation of our superb trophy and medals for our football fun night . Also to all our parents, old and new, who came and supported our night at Greenrigg park and played football.
We all had an amazing time and the final was a huge success between the oldies and the school football club, who won the trophy . This is on display in our cabinet at Mrs Millar’s office .
What a superb community spirit we have! With lots of support from family’s donations, we have been able to buy our football club new strips. This could not be possible without the help of Mr W Swan and our parents. Our strips are ordered and with the money we had left over we bought lots of super toys for us in the playground. We also bought 2 new sets of goals,football socks,balls,whistles, a football bag,bicycle helmets for our scooters and a brilliant air pump . We will post pictures off our new strip when it arrives.
