Maths Week in P5
This week is National Maths Week and P5 have been exploring a number of different problems to get them thinking about maths a little differently.
We have been learning different strategies for problem solving such as working in teams and drawing the problem. We have also been looking at how we sometimes need to take our time to ensure we get the right result.
There are more fun activities planned in class for the rest of this week. The class are also participating in a country wide Sumdog competition and are currently in the top 300 out of several thousands of schools.

Primary 3 and The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark
This term Primary 3 have been reading the novel called The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark.
As we read the novel we have also been learning lots of things such as:
- how the author uses good description to help us get a good picture of the main character
- alliteration
- all about time
- using autumn colours.
We have also been discussing the owl’s hopes and fears and we decided to write down our own hopes and fears on the leaves of the tree in our display. We hope that as the leaves fall from the tree our fears disappear and our hopes and wishes come true.

Meldrum Finish Second in Deans Gala Day Football Tournament
Pupils from Primary 6 and Primary 7 participated in the Deans Gala Day football tournament. After hard fought games against Carmondean and Deans, the team made it through to the finals where they faced Carmondean again.
Carmondean were victorious and Meldrum took the runners up slot. I am sure you will agree it was a fantastic effort from the team. Well Done!
