P5 participated in Maths week with outdoor learning and a visit from Andrew our visiting IT specialist. P5 took their place value topic outside and enjoyed team games that consolidated their understanding of numbers up to 10,000. In their IT lesson Andrew taught the class how to create their own maths game on Keynote.

As this week is Maths Week Scotland, we took the opportunity to learn maths in different ways. The theme is “Wild Maths” so most of our lessons took place outside.

On Monday we went into the playground and created our own place value charts with chalk. We then used natural resources to represent numbers using the chart, whilst also working on our rounding skills.

On Wednesday we also headed into the playground with rulers and meter sticks. We were finding objects in the playground to measure and then working out their perimeter.

Well done primary 6 for your effort in maths this week!👏🌱

This week P3 enjoyed celebrating Math Week Scotland by participating in various activities linking with our in class learning and outdoor learning.

P3 have been looking at shape and symmetry this week and enjoyed making natural symmetrical pictures with The Green Team. #Article24

They also looked at the artist Kandinsky and created their own compositions using 2D shape, line and contrasting colours. #Article31

Finally P3 consolidated their learning of greater than, less than and equal to by using natural resources to compare objects.

This week is maths week in Scotland and to celebrate P2 have been engaging in lots of fun number games, tuff tray activities and and exciting outdoor learning lesson lead by The Green Team. Take a look at some of our highlights this week! #article29

The theme this year was ‘Wild Maths’ and we took this opportunity to get outdoors! 🌳 🍃

First, we were learning how to measure in cm/mm. We did a scavenger hunt in the playground, looking for items of specific sizes and lengths. We were also developing our digital skills by documenting our findings using the iPad to create a photo log. 📸 📏

We were also lucky enough to have Margon from the Green Team visit us! She brought a whole host of natural goodies that we had to organise from largest to smallest, count using tally marks and sort into different categories.

What a fun week of Wild Maths!

Article 31

P3 have been learning about greater than, less than, and equal to symbols in numeracy and used concrete materials to support their understanding. #Article28

P3 worked on coordination and team work skills in PE and worked hard to improve their skills and resilience. #Article24

To finish the week, P3 had a final practise of this week’s spelling words before testing their spelling!

This week P6 have had an excellent week of learning. We have focussed on the plot of narrative writing, powers of 10 and we have started our new spelling words. 

During the “Our Prehistoric World” topic we learnt about Early Humans in the Stone Age. We created our own cave paintings, our own Stone Age tools and we sorted Stone Age objects and animals into categories. We compared life back then to now and realised how much the world has changed. Great learning P6, keep it up!👏
