P6 Maths

P6 have not been set any written maths homework this week as it is the last week of term. However, pupils are encouraged to continue practising the mental maths strategies we have been using in class over the October break. Here is an overview of the strategies we use in class to help support your children at home. We have focused on addition and subtraction this term.

Club Wild – Autumn Treasure Hunt

We have been out exploring the grounds around the school looking for clues that mother nature leaves us.. telling us that change is on its way, Autumn is here!

Twigs and leaves, fruits and seeds are all falling to the ground as the stronger winds shake the trees. Birds, squirrels and other animals are busy collecting fruits and nuts to store through the winter. We didn’t see any squirrels but we know they are there. Under the pine trees we found pines cones nibbled by the squirrels as they collect the seeds.

Looking up and down we found all the things on our list. Will you find them too?

Join us for more autumn adventures soon.
