Month: December 2018

As a special end of term treat  P5/6 took part in some baking today. Everyone worked well in their groups, weighing and measuring out all the ingredients. The pupils enjoyed the experience – especially getting to eat them after all their hard work!

We had fun selling all these stress balls and Christmas crackers at the fayre.

This week we did a lot of maths and we looked at Bob Ross, which we might do in the future.

Primary 6/7 have been doing a new thing with “Around the World” when we use it to practise our mental maths.

Primary 4 have been quite excited all week and have come to school every day with tales of what their “Elf” has been up to at home. They are looking forward to their Christmas party next week and tomorrow we will create the party plan for P4.

Today was our last session with Karen from NYCoS. The pupils gave their best effort in singing and joined in with the musical games with gusto and enthusiasm.

In maths this week we have been working on subtraction with exchanging/ borrowing. We have used the multi link cubes to help pupils visualise how this happens before we will move onto the written format next week. Pupils initially found this quite challenging but are now growing in confidence.

Last week we had written letters to invite a visitor into class to share their knowledge of Malawi. Our visitor came on Tuesday and pupils had prepared lots of relevant question to find out more about the country. We learnt lots of useful information and saw some great photographs of the area.

Today we created some fantastic Winter tree collage pictures which will make an excellent display outside class. Next week will also be the final week of our topic comparing Scotland and Malawi so we will be reviewing what we have learnt so far before completing it.
