We took our paired reading outside today to enjoy in the sun. We had great fun and asked each other questions about our book. In Maths we have been learning about fractions and have had lots of fun while doing it.

P2B’s Monday
We had such a busy day today. We celebrated William’s fantastic achievement where he received a medal for a running race. He said he loved doing it. We continued to learn about division by sharing out dolly mixtures. Miss Baldacci let us eat them afterwards. After break we learned our new sounds and went outside to practise our words using the chalk. We then spent some time in a shaded area outside where we came up with some fantastic sentences which included our spelling words. Miss Baldacci banned the openers ‘I’ and ‘the’ so we used some other super openers. Logan also treated us to her solo talk today on Germany and let us try some tasty bread, thanks Logan!
Sharing Sweets in Maths!
Who knew we could learn so much in Maths by using sweets? We have been learning about sharing an amount equally amongst others in Maths and know that sometimes we will have some leftover which is called a remainder. Miss Baldacci had sweets that she needed help sharing out equally.
P3a Scavenger Hunt
P3a have been learning about measure in maths and had great fun on Friday doing a scavenger hunt. We had to find different items such as something that is approximately 10cm and something that would fall the slowest. We love learning outside!!
Measurement in P1G
In primary 1 we have been measuring using non-standard units.
We have been growing some very tall sunflowers and wanted to measure how tall they were! Aaron’s was the tallest flower at 40 cubes tall! 
Making Connections with Maths in P2B
Look at the fantastic job Anna did today when learning more about money. Her task was to use as few coins as possible. She made the connection with money and her number bonds and used this to help her complete the task.
Maths in P2B
Here we are making a number of different prices using a variety of coins. We were using all sorts of ways to make the amount given and really thought outside the box to challenge ourselves.
A busy couple of days in P1G
Primary 1G have had a busy start to the week!
On Monday we enjoyed ‘painting’ our phonics outside on the playground with soapy water.
Today we have been learning how to sort items into different criteria – we each made a critter and sorted them into categories. In our maths work we have been busy exploring 3D shapes. This afternoon we had a visit from John who helped us to plant some flowers in the planters outside our classroom. We also created our ouwn snail collages in the style of Matisse.
Money Strategies in P2B
Today we were challenging ourselves to come up with different ways of making a price as we know that we don’t always have the exact coins or change available. We really thought outside the box and used our number bonds and counting skills to come up with lots of different combinations. Miss Baldacci is going to challenge us even more tomorrow.
Money, Money, Money!
We have been learning lots about money. We have learned how to sort money from smallest to largest, what each coin represents, we have used coins to pay for things and are beginning to work further on understanding that we can use different combinations of coins to pay for things. As you can see, we learn in lots of different ways during Maths in P2B including playing team games, ICT, a teacher led station and our Role Play corner. We have different activities to try each day which we really enjoy 😄
