This week we have been enjoying Maths Week Scotland. We have been hearing number through stories and then using the number concepts to help us better understand challenges in our own learning. For example, we read “A Million Dots” by Andrew Clements and then challenged ourselves by trying to do our own million dot wall, number ordering to a million and finding the craziest facts around one million. Some pupils enjoyed finding the roman numerals and others tried to work out what could be bought for £1,000,000.
We loved celebrating Calderwood Primary’s first birthday on Tuesday with a conga and a silent disco.
We have been working really hard on a research project on 3D shapes. Pupils have been using the assignment on teams to work to a criteria and then find a new and creative to share their learning. We are really excited to see what they come up with!
In STEM we have been exploring the respiratory system and investigating how our organs all work together.
We have been continuing to work on our Calderwood Cranium Consultants project, this week we have been using oil pastels to create artwork of neurons.
In PE we have enjoyed testing our stamina and balance and have been comparing our skills now to what we could do at the beginning of term.
