09/25/2023 mrsrushesb

Recently, Primary 4 got the opportunity to attend a “Roman Explorer” workshop at the Museum of Scotland. They had a tour around the Early People Gallery, exploring Roman objects and investigating what they revealed about life in a Roman home.

Home Learning

09/25/202309/25/2023 Miss Copeland

On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, school will be closed. This is due to strikes by UNISON members.

As teachers are not part of these strikes, home learning will be posted each day on your class blog at 9:00.

Below is a document explaining the format of each day.

We have aimed to support pupil routine by creating a timetable very similar to our school day. We hope by being consistent across the school, this will support families whom may be working together or sharing resources.

We look forward to welcoming you back to school on Friday, when pupils can share the learning that has been completed at home and we can celebrate their achievements.

CELEBRATING SUCCESS

09/25/202309/25/2023 Ms.Brunner

thank you for popping in! Before we start our new

MENTAL AGILITY

focus we were keen to show you how hard we worked on

across the school:

having fun with numbers to 5, 10 (and beyond)!

experimenting with Place Value arrow cards and partitioning numbers into

100s, 10s and 1s

Place Value arrow cards represent numbers in expanded notation. The cards overlap to form multi-digit numbers.

and consolidation with online games.

lots of practice with visualising and learning important principles of seeing patterns, anchoring numbers and enforce number bonds with the hands on teaching resource REKENREKS.

and Ten frames – to help develop a strong number sense! Ten frames are very useful in helping learners visualise numbers and build a good understanding of the relationships between numbers.

fun with board games and

using DIENES resources to represent 1,10,100 and 1000

allowing the learners to understand the relationship between the different columns on a place value grid:

using a variety of resources to identify, write and partition numbers up to 1 000 000 including Place value charts to help find the place value of each digit based on its position in a number.

using Place value discs including decimal numbers to tenths.

Place value disks help learners compare the value of each place, like that the tens place is ten times the ones place.

focusing on rounding to 2 decimal places.

We are excited to get started with Addition and subtraction next.
See you soon! 🙂

Primary 3, 4, 6 and 7 will visit the Museum on the Mound –

Located in the historic Bank of Scotland Head Office, this fascinating museum takes a fresh look at money – and much, much more. Art & design, technology, crime, trade and security – all feature in the story of money.

and focus on amazing workshops such as:

What is Money? – Investigate a range of extraordinary artefacts once used as money in other cultures.
Heads and Tails – Explore the design and security features of coins. Discover how they were made in medieval Scotland and strike your own.
Design Your Own Banknote – Compare and contrast banknotes past and present. Add security features to your own note using stamps and invisible ink.
Kists & Keys – Spark conversations about value, some of the benefits and risks of using cards and how to keep money safe using the Museum’s collections, including £1,000,000.
