Our RotaKids organised a fantastic sport themed fundraiser today for the SSPCA. Thank you for all the donations.

Both P5 classes visited Duncarron Medieval Village near Carron Valley where we had two guides lead us through a selection of Roman activities. Great day, poor weather!

#P5S and #P5UA took our Roman learning outside where we practised the Testudo - a tactic used when laying siege to enemy fortifications. We used our trays as shields to protect ourselves from tennis balls!!

As part of outdoor learning day, #P5S practised times tables and number sequences through running races and worked together to assemble a jumbled story into the correct order. We also used flash cards to order into a variety of numbers such as largest, smallest, odd, multiple of ten etc…

To celebrate Outdoor Classroom Day, Primary 2 and 3 took their numeracy learning outside this morning to practise skip counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

P5 were learning to partition numbers up to 10,000 by constructing dinosaurs made out of base 10 blocks!🦖🦕🧱

Primary 6 I took our learning outdoors today. We calculated our speed by recording how fast we ran 5 M, 10 M, 20 M and 25 M. We then used the formula Speed = Distance / Time to calculate how fast we ran per second.

Kids had a great time visiting our Valentine's Sale today at morning break - items will be on sale again tomorrow at break 😜
