Today in Forest School P4 were developing their learning on fractions, with the focus being on equivalent fractions. In pairs and groups, the children filled split hoops into different fractions and filled these with different materials. Some groups investigated filling two sixths of a hoop with different items and then moving the bamboo sticks to see that two sixths were the exact same size as one third.

Today our Primary 4 pupils went outside to continue their current maths topic of symmetry. Some children worked in groups, some in pairs and others by themselves, to create a symmetrical picture on the ground of whatever they wanted. Afterwards, the children had opportunities within the classroom to look at all the photographs and discuss just how symmetrical they were.

This was a great opportunity to extend our Primary 4 pupils' knowledge of symmetry.

Primary One have been learning all about 'People Who Help Us'. We were very lucky to get a visit from the Paramedics, Police Officers and Firefighters!

Our visitors showed us all their special equipment, their uniforms and their vehicles and spoke to us about the different jobs they do to help people.

The children really enjoyed their experiences, some of their highlights include squirting water from the hose, climbing inside the real police car, hearing the sirens and trying on some of the police equipment!

Primary One have been very busy with lots of fun Easter activities!

On Tuesday we had our egg rolling competition followed by our Easter Bunny hunt. We didn't manage to find the Easter Bunny but we did find some yummy chocolate lollies that he dropped. While we were outside hunting, The Easter Bunny sneaked into our classrooms and left another chocolate treat on our desks!!

Today we had a special Easter snack with bunny shaped sandwiches, delicious!
