Scottish Maths Week -P5/4
As part of Scottish Maths week we have been looking at different types of patterns.
Yesterday we looked at number visuals. We had to work out what number the number visual was. We then discussed what patterns we could see.
” I saw two groups of 4 dots and then doubled it” – Jaxon
“I saw two groups of 5 to make 10 then doubled it to see 20″ – Natalie
We then tried to make our own number visuals using the same patterns we found to help us
Today we continued to look at patterns and used Pascal’s triangle. In groups we talked about what patterns we could see straight away.
We then then had to work out what the missing numbers in Pascal’s triangle.
” I think you add the 2 numbers on the end to find each number” – Mackenzie
” The number is found by repeating the pattern – 1, 4, 4, 4, 1″ – Szymon
We worked out together that to find the missing number we have to add the 2 numbers above it.
We can’t wait to continue finding patterns this week Tomorrow we’re going to use Izak9.
P1 number scavenger hunt
We had great fun today finding numbers with matching dot patterns and ‘bunny ears’ around the shared area.

Open Evening
Thank you to the parents who came along to the open evening tonight – it was a good opportunity to see what your children are using to help them learn and also what they will be working towards in the near future. For those who couldn’t make it along, I hope you enjoy having a look at the few photos that were taken to give you an idea of the resources used in class.

This week in P7
What a busy week it has been. Firstly we were all very proud of all the Primary 7s who put themselves forward for House Captain and Head Person this week. What a hard choice the staff and pupils had choosing as the standard of their speeches was excellent.
Weare proud to announce that Karis and Arron are our Head People. We are proud to announce that Erin will be House Captain for Kelly, Eemian will be House Captain for Dardanelles and that Jenna will be House Captain for Baillie.
We have started a shared reading experience in P2 this week. The P7 are practicing expression and questioning at home with a book and then reading to a great audience.
This week we have completed our entries for the Flower Show this Saturday. The theme this year is the GalaDay. Congratulations to all P7s who have an entry going forward. What great quality of art work this year.
Primary 7 have now had two sessions of Judo with Marv on Fridays now and they are loving it. Please remember to bring in your slip for your free Judo kit.
P5/4 first 2 weeks
We have had an excellent start to the new school. We have enjoyed exploring our new classroom and getting to know each other a bit better.
We have been talking about what makes a great friend. We discussed different qualities a friend has and looked at which was most the important. For our class we decided that being honest was the most important quality. We also looked at qualities we all have in the class. We were each given a name of a classmate and in secret had to write what we thought they bought to the class. At the end, we all felt amazing as everyone had written lots of nice things about each other.
Im maths we have started looking at different strategies to add and subtract. We are using numberlines to start with and are moving on to partitioning this week. Miss Cooke has set us a range of questions through the “chilli challenge” – this means we can all challenge our learning.
In P.E we have have started to learn different skills in Netball. We focused on chest passes and looked at how to use the space to pass the ball. We have P.E on Wednesday and Thursday
We cant wait to learn more as the term progresses.
