Whole School Reading Challenge Grid – Give it a go!
Scottish Book Week 13th – 17th November
Royal Mile Primary will be taking part in Scottish Book Week (13th – 17th November). We will have fun and exciting activities for the whole school and in the classes during the week and we are hoping that you and your children will be able to join us in our reading week at home.
We will be launching Book Bugs P1 -3 on Friday 17th November and a separate invite will be sent from the class teachers with a time to join the class.
We will have book competitions that the children can take part in and win a book prize. This year we have a Draw Your Favourite Character from a Book competition for Nursery, P1 and P2. We have quizzes for P3-4 and P5-7 and a chance everyday to guess who was caught reading in school. There will be a reading challenge grid on the School classes Blog and we hope that you will help the children complete some of these challenges and send in either the challenge or pictures that we can share their achievements.
Staff will be reading in different classes over the week and sharing their love of reading.
The challenge in class this year is for children to agree a Recipe for Reading in Royal Mile Primary so please discuss with your children at home what they enjoy about reading and what makes them want to read. We will compile all the ideas and use that to encourage more great reading in school.
We are passionate about creating a Royal Mile Primary Reading Community and hope that you can share sometime with your children next week to read with them or even tell them about your favourite book as a child.
LETS GET READING!
Thank you.

Mental Agility Second level
Hi and welcome to the second section of our MENTAL AGILITY rainbow this term!
Until Christmas our school will focus on ADDITION and SUBTRACTION!
Please find attached activities children work on in class.
We would really appreciate your support in practising them at home too!
One of our main aims is for children to be competent with numbers.
Pupils are introduced to a new mathematical concept through the use of concrete resources (e.g. fruit, Dienes blocks etc). When they are comfortable solving problems with physical aids, they are given problems with pictures – usually pictorial representations of the concrete objects they were using.
Then they are asked to solve problems where they only have the abstract i.e. numbers or other symbols. Building these steps across a lesson can help pupils better understand the relationship between numbers and the real world, and therefore helps secure their understanding of the mathematical concept they are learning.
Most Second level learners are ready to move on from concrete materials and focus on pictorial and abstract methods. An increasing understanding of number allows transitioning through the approaches.
It is vital to have a variety of strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems.
Here are some examples:
At second level learners will also work with numbers up to/beyond one Million, decimal, percentages and fractions as well as negative numbers:
