Everyone enjoyed the Numeracy & Maths Open Morning on Monday, pupils, parents, carers & staff alike. Here are a few pictures to prove it!
Maths & Numeracy Open Morning
We had lots of parents and carers visiting Stoneyburn Primary school this morning to see some of the ways we teach Maths & Numeracy in school. We were delighted with the number of visitors we had at today and the children loved showing their families the Maths activities in their classrooms. For those of you who didn’t manage to make it along or for anyone who would like to have another look at the parent presentation from the beginning of the session, you can click on this link to have a look.Open morning presentation If you have any comments on the session this morning, we’d love to hear from you on here as we plan to run more sessions like this in the future so we’d like to improve them in any way we can!

Stoneyburn Netball Team
A great first netball meet tonight after school. Fab wee team. We’re all excited about our first competition of the year on Wednesday. Team kits organised, permission slips for the competition will go home tomorrow- Go Stoneyburn go!!
Spelling with playdough!
Some of the Primary 2s were working with Mrs Gardinier this week and were going over the sounds we know from Colourful Consonants and Vowel House. We were spelling words using playdough and using the right colours for the right letters- it was lots of fun and we were very good at spelling the words- next week we will be challenging ourselves to spell more difficult words but we’d still like to use the playdough! 
Number Hunt with P1s and P2s
Mrs Gardinier took some Primary 1s and Primary 2s out around the school grounds this morning. We had a card that gave us things to look for and the number of each thing we had to find. We had to find 1 flower, 2 sticks, 3 leaves, 4 stones and 5 nuts or seeds. We worked in teams of two and three to find the objects and then check our cards at the end to make sure we had everything. We had to practice our counting and organise the things we had in our baskets in to groups when we were checking things off on our list. It was a sunny morning and we had a great time- as you can see form our pictures!
A busy week in Primary 3/4
This week we have been reading more of our class novel- The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark. For technology, we made our own owls with wings that flap- we used split pins to attach the wings to the body and they could move.
We have also done some work on Wallace and Bruce and we were looking at their Coats of Arms and we’re colouring in shields in the correct colours.
We have had visitors in our classroom this week- Mrs Gibson joined us for writing on Wednesday and Mrs Gardinier was with us on Friday morning. We were doing LEGO Maths with her and we were adding the dots on pieces together to reach target numbers. We worked on our own and in teams to find the answers.
