Sumdog’s National Numeracy Contest is almost here! It starts tomorrow at 8am, and finishes at 8pm on May 14.
Here are some things to keep in mind during the contest:
- Students can play at any time.
- For the score to count, the National Numeracy Contest activity must be showing in the green panel on the left of the student’s screen when they click to start each game.
- Their scores are based on correct answers.
- A class’s score is the average of the scores from all students from that class who take part.
- To appear on the leaderboard, at least 10 students from a class need to play.
- As some students have limited computer access, every student is limited to 1000 contest questions. However, their free logins let them keep playing other activities afterwards.
Good Luck!
P4 – P7 Get Glowing!
Primary 4-7 have been using glow to access learning online. Every child in P4-7 has a username and password that they can use to access different resources.
Each class has created a team and within the team the children can access different learning tasks in and out of school.
Miss Burton has set the children in P4-7 a free writing task and a maths question of the day. Log into your team and click on the literacy and numeracy channels to access the task. These channels can be accessed at home and at school. I look forward to reading what you come up with!
To find out more about glow click here.
If your child can not remember their glow log in, please email the school office (wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk) and we will reset it for them.

P1 Numeracy and Maths Update Sway
Primary 4 STEM Learning
Our STEM topic has had a focus on space linking to maths within daily life, seasons, time, day and night.   In Writing the pupils wrote instructions for how to make a paper plate sundial including a title, goal, materials and steps. To check if they had written a successful set of instructions the children then created the paper plate sundials by following instructions that were written by someone else rather than their own. They were then able to give feedback on what went well and what could be improved by peer assessing using the peer assessment placemats in order to link their feedback to the success criteria.
Finally, the children participated in the ‘Let’s Make a Sundial’ challenge to design and create a sundial using readily available resources.
