This week in Primary 4A we have been exploring numeracy tools in class. We have been looking at using tools to help count, solve calculations and order numbers.
We have been exploring Cuisenaire rods, Numicon and number lines. We have been completing daily number talks and building our bank of strategies to find the most efficient way to solve a problem. We have also been using Sumdog to practice our numeracy skills.
Primary 4 have been learning about measure in maths. This week we have been learning about volume. We have been calculating the volume by counting cubes. 
On Thursday the 25th of May Primary 4A invited their families into school to share our learning from this term. The children planned an afternoon full of activities linking to our learning in class. Adults then had to complete a Kahoot! Quiz using lots of information from the 7 different stations.
Thank you to all parents and carers who joined us.
This week Primary 4A participated in the West Lothian Sumdog contest.
We are very proud to come 10th out of the 233 classes who participated.
Well done Primary 4A!
Yesterday we cleaned out our gerbilarium. Before we cleaned out their cage we needed to put them in their exercise balls. Pepper was very good and likes going in her exercise ball. Salt however didn’t want to get in her ball. Daniel and Leah had to use her favourite tube to put her into her ball. It took lots of teamwork. Once they were out of the cage team 2 cleaned it out.
It was really fun to clean out our gerbils. We need to do this every week. We work in teams of 4.
Now that our gerbils have been in class for a few days we have started putting our hands in with some treats. Salt and Pepper both took a small treat from us today.
Salt and Pepper have been settling into our class this week. Salt is very confident and loves to watch us learn. Pepper can be a little more nervous so we are helping her adjust to our classroom by sitting with her quietly and offering her some treats.
Primary 4A are learning about the environment in class. Recently we have been celebrating Earth Day. We made posters with clear messages about helping the environment.
Here are our winning posters.
Primary 4A have been preparing for the arrival of our class gerbils.
We have been doing research in class and using our notes to create Power Points about caring for gerbils. We have been thinking about names for our 2 new gerbils and after creating a list of our favourites we used Microsoft forms to vote for our winning names.
Here are our responses:
The winning names were Salt and Pepper. We cannot wait to meet Salt and Pepper when they come to school on Tuesday after the long weekend.
Yesterday our Primary 6 pupils from both classes attended an Active Schools event with other cluster Primary schools. After walking the 1.2km course the girls were first to run. Jaymin ran a very competitive race and came in second overall. The boys were last to race and Coben and Jake ran well to earn second and third place. Our boys won overall boys team. All winners will have the opportunity to attend another event at the beginning of next session.
We are very proud of all of the Primary 6 pupils who took part yesterday. Every runner took part with enthusiasm and demonstrated excellent sportsmanship towards their fellow competitors.
