National Numeracy Day

Leave a reply
As part of National Numeracy Day on 18th May children from P2/3, P3, P4/5, P6, P7/6 and P7 took part in an Official World Record Attempt for the most participation and views of Rolling Numbers Livestream.  We managed to break the record and 5, 362 schools took part.  Well done!
We also took part in Numbers and dancing with Katya Jones, where we learned dynamite dance moves.  We had to keep count of the steps .  It was great fun.   We ​thought about what we would like to be when we grow up and how we would use numbers in that job.  We created pictures of us doing our dream job or hobby and  how it uses numbers.
We had a great day.

P7 Prepare for Joseph

Leave a reply

In P7 this week we designed a poster that will be used to promote our upcoming performances of Joseph and the Technicoloured Dream Coat. We considered what information was required, how we would ensure we had an eye-catching layout and included photographs that grabbed the reader’s attention. If you’re lucky enough to be attending, see how many of the posters you can spot around school!

P5 Visit Sky Academy

Leave a reply

Primary 5 took an exciting trip to The Sky Academy Studios.

Each of us were given an important role (Director, Producer, Scriptwriter, Reporter, Eyewitness, Camera Operator, Editor) within our studio groups. We all worked very hard as a team, to create a fantastic news report about Fake News and how to prevent it.

It was a great opportunity to work with experts and high-tech equipment. What great fun we had!

P7 Literacy and Developing Their Reading Culture

Leave a reply

P7 loved reading the book ‘Billionaire Boy’. We wrote book reports which included paragraphs, opinions, conjunctions, and interesting adjectives.

We also put QR codes on our display, which links anyone who scans it to a video of some of the P7’s discussing their opinions about the book.

P6/7 have been working hard converting fractions and decimals to percentages, as well as finding percentages of numbers.  We were looking at real life examples and found some percentages on our milk and snack packaging.  We have also been finding fractions of different amounts.

We have been taking part in the Languagenut Competition and have been doing both French and Spanish.  We have been asked to join Sumdog’s Avatar Testing Panel to offer our thoughts and opinions about the new avatars they are creating.

P5’s Internet Safety – Social Media

Leave a reply

For Internet Safety day, Primary 5 learned the age restrictions for different social media platforms. Firstly, we named different social media platforms and guessed the age restrictions for each. Then, we revealed the true age restrictions. A lot of us were surprised by these age limits. We discussed why we think social media companies set age restrictions and came up with a lot of good reasons and thoughts.
