Trip to the Science Centre

It took longer than expected to get there, but get there we did!

The children had a blast. Enjoy the photos!

Fractions

We've been learning all about fractions. Primary 3 have been exploring halves, quarters and thirds by splitting shapes, and sharing out items. Primary 4 have been exploring fractions with larger denominators, and have been getting to grips with equivalents.

P4 made fraction kites. 

Those boys... can't take a decent picture! :) However... P4 were able to identify that the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction (or piece of cake!).

P3 finding a quarter of a number.

Equivalents are great fun!

 We moved from splitting playdough cakes into halves, quarters and thirds to identifying and writing the fractions we could see on the sheet. P3 have worked very hard!

The children have enjoyed learning all about Scottish castles. We learned about who lives inside a castle, and we learned about the structure and defense of castles. The children worked in groups to design and build a castle, before visiting Stirling castle.
