We are learning about fractions.
Primary 1 pupils were finding halves of various length lines and could challenge themselves further by finding quarters. They did an amazing job!
Primary 2 pupils were finding halves and quarters of numbers-super work!

“P” made a ball and used it for a game of catch. We tried to pass the ball around as quickly as possible without dropping it. We counted as we went to see if we could beat our score.

Guess Dogo’s birthday… 🐶🎂
Children are learning about the concept of time. We have learned the days of the week and are now learning the months of the year. Today, the children guessed Dogo’s birthday.
“R” was the closest - Dogo’s birthday is 16th February 🥰

Primary 2 pupils are learning the trigraph ‘igh’. They are working hard on this sound, but a little practice at home, as well as in school, would really benefit them.

Primary 1 are learning a new letter, F and the sound it makes, f. Here is a wee video to help with the pronunciation of this:

We talked about folding paper in half, drawing one side of a shape, and cutting it out so it becomes the full shape. To extend this, pupils painted one side and folded the paper back so the paint printed onto the other side.
‘It’s symmetrical!’ CS
Here is ‘C’ doing just this.

Foodie Fractions
The Hungry Caterpillar ate lots of fruit. Today, we looked at how we could share grapes with many people. The children cut these in various ways to share for a snack.
“We could cut this way or that way. We would still get the same size piece.”

Exploring fractions 😊
How do we share amounts that are not liquids?
“Use your hands or pour it.”
“Make sure you know how much is in a full tub so you can work out halves or quarters.”
Children ordered the porridge by size, then showed their understanding by colouring the bowls on their sheet.

“E” created a lovely decoration for her room. I could see the technique she was trying to achieve. I explained the threading technique and now she’s an expert! She has shown others how to do the same.

P1/2 pupils used Kandinsky’s work to explore how shape can be used in modern art. They used this as inspiration while also incorporating their knowledge of fractions. Afterwards, they shared their masterpieces with peers and gave each other a ‘glimmer’ and a ‘goal’ for their next piece.
