P2-3 Reading Event

We are looking forward to welcoming our parents/carers to our Primary 2 & 3 Reading Event on Thursday 21st November at 9.00am. Please access the hall via the doors from the quad playground. After a short presentation in the hall with Mrs Donnelly, parents/carers will join their child in their classroom to participate with some literacy activities. Primary 2-3 children will be gifted with their ‘Read, Write and Count Bag’ on Thursday also. We hope they enjoy reading the stories and playing the games at home.

Outdoor Learning in Primary 2

In Primary 2M and 2W we have been learning how to subtract. We have been using lots of different methods to help us do this. Yesterday we decided to take our subtraction outdoors and see how we could use the environment to help us show our learning. We had lots of fun using our number skills.

It was a chilly morning so we had to make sure we were wrapped up. We even managed to use natural materials and the weather to help us create our own subtraction sums!

P4S Maths Week Scotland

This week we have been introduced to lots of different strategies we can use to learn our times tables. These include Hit the Button, multiplication dominoes, dice, basketball and the game of pairs. Hopefully they will help us with our learning and speed of recall of our tables.

This week in P3/2C

It has been a very busy few weeks in P3/2C. We have been learning lots about our new topic Food and Farming. We even paired up with a farm in Stafford shire and had a Skype chat with Katie the farmer where she answered our questions and showed us around the farm. She even sent us the winning rosettes that her Border Leicester sheep won.

It is also maths week this week and we have been taking part in many different activities to support our addition skills. What a fab and very busy week.

P4S Numeracy

We have been learning to use different strategies to develop our recall and accuracy of our times tables. We take part in lots of different activities to help us speed up. We all work on different times tables and sometimes link them to division facts too.

P4S Maths Week Day 4

Today we were looking at how we visualise numbers. We had a sheet with lots of different pictures of numbers and we had to write what numbers they represented. The first ones were easy but they got harder and harder. We had to use our times tables to work some of the numbers out.
