Maths in an Everyday Context P6

We know how important it is to use our Numeracy skills in an everyday context and with our current topic of Money we have had plenty of opportunity to link our learning to the real world. The class have brought in a whole range of shopping receipts and we have used this to not only devise our own set of questions,so also linking to our literacy outcomes but also  answering our peers questions using all 4 operations. We also had the opportunity to demonstrate our skills further as P6 both collected and counted the Children In Need Donations. We had a group of bankers that did an amazing job! I think we can all see how important Numeracy is in our everday life and just how many times we use Maths perhaps without even realising it!

Book Week in P7B

Primary 7 celebrated book week through various activities. We looked at comprehension and how this is important to understanding the text. We were very grateful to accept a book about the Queens Jubilee and we made book covers for the school competition. We were surprised by a secret reader who read a very interesting chapter from the book she brought – we tried to predict what would happen next…

We finished the week by reading to our buddies and ended up reading in some unusual places…

Happy Book Week!

A busy Book Week in P5!

Primary 5 have had a busy week celebrating Book Week Scotland this week. We began by writing reviews of our favourite books and sharing these with the rest of the class. We joined an Authors Live event where we took part in a draw-along session with author and illustrator Emily Mackenzie to recreate her character Granville, who features in ‘There’s Broccoli in my Ice Cream’- great fun! On Thursday we joined a live Giglets session where we heard the story of Tommy Foghorn and had an opportunity to hear from the illustrator and ask him questions. We also enjoyed creating animal-themed book covers for our school competition and received our Queen’s Jubilee commemorative books from Mrs Robertson. We enjoyed stories from two Secret Readers and made bookmarks with our P3 Reading buddies. A fantastic celebration of books and reading!

We love Book Week!

A very big thank you to all our visitors who have joined us this week to celebrate Book Week Scotland 2022.

It was wonderful to have you all in our library to share the books in the Book  bags with Primary 1, 2 and 3 learners.

All pupils also received their copy of the book ‘Queen Elizabeth’ which celebrates the 70 year reign of the late Queen.

And not forgetting a huge thank you to those parents and carers who volunteered to be secret readers. Classes really enjoy having visitors. It is much appreciated.

We hope you have all enjoyed sharing a story together this week.. remember if you have been reading in some really unusual places we would love to see a photo!

Happy Reading everyone!

Book Week Primary 1

What a busy Book Week Primary 1 have had!  It was great to meet so many parents in the library on Monday and receive Book Bags.  In class we have read each story and made bats, our own sea creature book and chosen clothes to dress for different weathers.

We were also surprised 3 times with secret readers and loved the stories.  We had a bookmark competition in class and are waiting to hear who our winners are.

Please remember to return reading books on Thursdays to ensure everyone can take one home the following week.

P3a Book Week

During book week we took part in lots of great activities. We received visits from several secret readers. We went to the library and got our Read, Write, Count bags and a book from the Queen.  We also listened to stories and read with each other.  We took part in the Book Week bookmark competition by drawing our favourite animals character from a book. It has been a brilliant week.

Primary 2: Book Week

Primary two had a fantastic time celebrating book week. We loved our secret reader visits and enjoyed listening to lots of stories. We also designed our own book covers and shared these with the class. On Wednesday we enjoyed reading with with our friends and families and received our read, write, count bags.

Book Week in P2/1

P2/1 have had a super Book Week. We’ve really enjoyed receiving our Bookbug bags (in P1) and our Read Write and Count bags (in P2). We were excited to have our parents and carers join us the school library! We loved hearing Mrs Robertson read us a story (and we also loved the juice and biscuits).
‘Scaredy Bat’ by Jonathan Meres inspired us to make our own bats. We like how they hang upside down on our washing line.

‘The Perfect Fit’ by Naomi Jones has lots of  different 2d shapes. We made 2d shape pictures with our partners.


We had lots of fun meeting our ‘secret readers’! Thank you so much to the parents who came into our class and read to us. We loved listening to some of our favourite stories and some new ones too.

Maths and Book Week in The Hive

This week is Scottish book week.  We discussed our favourite types of books and a common theme was Space! In Maths this week we have been learning about money.  We have been recognising and adding the value of coins, and some of us managed to work out change too!  We linked our maths with our book week chats and tried to work out how much it would cost us to go into Space.  We then did some role play and acted out us being in a space rocket.

 

Sportshall Athletics

On Wednesday morning, 23 of our Primary 7 pupils represented us at the West Lothian ‘East Conference’ Sportshall Athletics event. All of the children did an excellent job competing in 13 different events against 7 other schools. Everyone was a credit to our school!
