Good morning everyone and welcome back to a new term. I hope you were all able to have some time out to have lots of fun over the last few weeks!

Although we are not together in our classroom, we are going to continue our learning but just in a different way. Each day I will upload some activities for you. You can try some of them or all of them. It’s important to remember that all you can do is try your best so don’t worry if you can’t do everything, you are all doing great just by giving this new way of learning a go!

Last week Primary 2/3 went to the National Museum of Scotland. We took part in an Ancient Egypt workshop and had the opportunity to explore the Egypt gallery. Have a look!

Primary 2/3 have loved learning about how and why the pyramids were built as part of our Ancient Egypt IDL. The children had the opportunity to build pyramid using different resources. We had to think carefully when we were building to make sure that each layer was smaller than the one before. This helped to create out pyramid shapes!

Primary 4 enjoyed their recent visit to Jupiter Art Land. They looked at different sculptures that used both natural and man made materials before having the opportunity to create their own interpretation of Charles Jencks sculpture ‘Cells of Life’. Thanks to Ms Brolls for organising a fantastic trip!

This week Primary 4 have been exploring different strategies for division. We looked at using concrete materials such as cubes and counters to explore arrays, equal groups and repeated subtraction. We then  began to draw pictorial representations on our whiteboards.

We have also been looking at the inverse rule to help us understand the links between division and multiplication.

Have a look at division in action!
