Last year we raised over £300 through these online sales. Many thanks for all your support and we hope you’ll enjoy doing this again this year. This money helps to fund festive fun for all the children each year, such as our Christmas parties and Christmas lunch decorations.

The Ben’s – Math through stories
Maths week Scotland took a creative literacy turn as The Bens developed their understanding of decimals, fractions & percentages through a story called ‘Pezzettino’ by Lio Lionni.
We explored the idea of the ‘part, part, whole’ model through Pezzettino’s quest to find someone he is part of, only to discover he is a whole made up of parts.
The Bens enjoyed working collaboratively in their groups to create their characters which were parts of a whole. It was joyful when they realised that they would need to collaborate with other groups to make wholes and complete the story.
We can’t wait to show everyone our very own Pezzettino inspired story soon!
