Today we went out to the Quad to practice our times tables. We worked in pairs on our trickiest table and had to check each others work.
Then we thought about the symmetry in butterflies and draw some and took pictures to show our work.
Goodbye Mr McDermott
Our lovely Education Officer is leaving to take up a new post. The boys and girls in The Hive always enjoyed his visits so we made him a card and he popped down to see us on Wednesday. Good luck in your new job Mr McDermott! We’ll miss you.
Numicon Numeracy in The Hive
Mrs Grieve has been on a course all about Numicon which is a fantastic Maths resource. The children really benefitted from this and we all explored the Numicons. We looked at number bonds to 10, as well as ways that they could help us learn some of our times tables. Then we decided to carry on our learning with the Numicon using paints!
P3 Fractions
We have been learning how to place fractions on a number line. We started placing in halves then moved onto quarters. Some of us managed in thirds.
Pupil Voice in The Hive
Jess Hepburn from the ASN Team was in to chat to some of our children in The Hive. They had a lovely time together, telling Jess all about what they like about school, what they think the new school should have in it and how The Hive helps them with their learning.
P5\4 working hard!
Who says you can’t get lots done when it is a short week? Primary 5/4 say you can 🙂
We have been busy with the following:-
– Continuing to build on our knowledge of Explanation texts.
– Continuing to explore Measurement where we have been measuring both in and outside of the classroom (looking at cm, mm and metres so far!)
– We have started learning about our new learning context (Oceans and Climate Change).
– We have been using our mapping skills to identify the location of the continents and the oceans.
– In Science, we started looking at The Water Cycle which we found really interesting.
– Finally, one of the pupils became our teacher and taught us some Spanish numbers (what a treat with her own PowerPoint too)
Phew – it sure has been busy but lots of fun and enjoyable learning.
Have a lovely Thursday off, Miss Baldacci.
P5/4 are hard at work!
Please have a look at the pictures to see what we have been up to this week 🙂
We have started learning about a new type of writing – an explanation text. We have been learning about what features must be included to make this writing successful. We have also started looking at Measure for Maths. We have started by looking at all the different ways we can measure something and have started making conversions between measurements.
For P.E, we have been learning the importance of teamwork through rounders – we have been enjoying it!
I hope all the families from primary 5/4 have a relaxing and safe long weekend,
Miss Baldacci.
