In P7 this week, one Maths group has been focusing on developing their understanding of percentages using pegboards. They were challenged to create pictures by placing coloured pegs into a board , then work out the fraction before converting their answers into decimals and percentages. Can you work out the fraction, decimal and percentage of each colour? We also discovered that on some occasions, we had to simplify the fractions.
Could all P1 children please return their home learning jotters tomorrow (Fri 15th Feb) to allow time for these to be updated for after the February break. Please still return them even if activities are not completed.
A big thank you to everyone who has returned them already today and for the effort you put into your learning activities each week.
Thank you
Mrs M 😀
Well done to Kirsty and Jack who took on the Tech Team responsibilities on Friday at assembly because P6 and P7 were at CAB.
Also to Artemis, Amy-leigh. Kallie-Marie and Jordon for taking on the responsibilities of the JR’s.
You all did a fabulous job! Maybe P5 need to take over more often!
Primary 4 and Primary 5 put on a successful Scottish Celebration last night. They performed songs and poems from several Scottish artists and made their teachers very proud.
The money that they have raised through ticket sales and selling shortbread and Irn Bru will go towards an excursion for all 3 classes. We will have to work together to figure out the amount of money we have made and take into account any expenses before discussing between our classes what we would like to do.
Here are some moments from their evening.
Our Junior Librarians asked every child and adult in the school to write or draw the title of a book that they love to read on a love heart.
They created this wall display to show how much we love books at Murrayfield.
Congratulations to Mia, 2019 East District Championship Best Girl! Excellent achievement competing against over 100 swimmers 10-11 years section.
P7, P7/6 and P6 attended a careers table talk organised by Community Action Blackburn. The pupils had the opportunity to meet and ask questions about people who work in a variety of different jobs, ranging from hairdressing, the fire bridage, health care, finance, IT, joiners, the police force, musicans, educators, WLDAS and even a Zumba instructor.

We were learning about solids, liquids and gases. We learned what each one was and then took our new knowledge on a ‘learning walk’ around the school to see if we could spot them in our environment.
Some of us were learning about subtraction. We know that subtraction is another word for taking away. We learned that when you take away the quantity you started with gets smaller!
We were using counters and ICT to help us answer some subtraction sums. We use ICT a lot in our classroom to help us with our learning.
In assembly we were talking about being active. Back in class we worked together to make a list of all of the things we could do to keep active. Then we made posters to show others what they could do.
We hope everyone has a good weekend. See you on Monday!
We’ve had another busy week in Primary 5/4. We have been practicing hard for our Scottish Celebration Evening which is on Wednesday 13th February 6-7pm. We also celebrated the Chinese New Year and did some imaginative writing. We have continued to work on our division.
This week’s raffle prize winner is… Megan!
A big thank you to our student, Miss Stewart who has been working with us for 5 weeks.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Glancy & P5/4
