We have been learning all about adding.
We have been practising adding 2 groups of things together. We have been practising our counting on strategy too. We know that this can help us get the answer faster!
We have been making addition colouring pictures and we have created butterflies with number stories. These activities were great fun!
Primary 1a have been looking at tartan patterns and learning about how some tartans help identify a family name.
We looked at the lines and the colours in a range of tartans then we created our own using rollers and paint. Some of the class also created patterns of lines using a paper weaving technique.
Check out our kilts!
A huge well done to all the pupils who took part in the Burn’s Celebration today. The singing, dancing and poetry recitals were fabulous. A special mention goes to Mrs Baird from the Nursery who piped in all guests as they were arriving and also piped in the haggis.
This week, in Primary 5, we have started working on measure.
There are loads of different things that we measure every day!
“We use volume when we measure liquids like cans of Irn Bru (330ml) and bottles of Coke (500ml).” Logan, Rebekah and Reece.
“We use length to measure things like distance and height. For example Rebekah is 1.26m and an African elephant is 3.3m” Zoe, Grace and Lewis.
“Weight is a measure of how heavy something is e.g. Fraser’s bag of crisps is 16 grams and a bag of sugar is 1kg.” Rianna, Fraser and Dylan.

P1 have been thinking about where they live. We know we live in a country called Scotland and that it is part of the UK. Primary 1a talked about about some of the things we knew about Scotland and about how some things help us to recognise countries or places.
We learned that the thistle is the national Scottish flower. Using the internet we looked at pictures of thistles and studied their features. After we had identified the different parts of the flower we then used oil pastels to create our own art work.
Look at our creations!
