National Numeracy Day- Maths Trail

Maths looked a little different in P7 last week. As part of National Numeracy Day we looked  some STEAM clips which demonstrated how Maths is so important in the World of Work. We heard from Scientists, Data Analysts, Builders, Bankers, Chefs and Engineers. Who knew Maths would touch upon so many different career paths! We then made our  Numeracy lesson a little more active by going outside and starting a Maths Trail. It got very competitive as each group used their mental maths strategies to solve each problem. To finish off the week the class came up with some amazing designs crossing over curricular outcomes with both  Art and Technology.

Lockdown Painted Stones

A massive ‘THANK YOU’ to our secret helpers who came in to the school playground last Friday to cement down the beautiful painted stones which our pupils and their families did during Lockdown.  We were delighted to see the finished result and are sure that you will agree that they have done a fantastic job. On behalf of everyone at East Calder Primary School THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Your help is much appreciated 🙂

Here are some of the photos of our COVID Snake which can be found in the P1-2 playground.

 

 

Child Led Learning – STEAM

I was very impressed by the kindness, creativity and artistic skill of two busy girls in the playground this morning before the start of the school day. Both girls (P3 and P4) worked together to make patterns and jewellery designs using stones from our playground.

What a great start to the day girls!
