Is there any better maths lesson than one you can eat at the end?
This week we have been learning all about division.
We have shared sweets into equal groups and we have also used our sweets to learn about remainders.
We have linked multiplication and division and participated in lots of practical activities.
Today, P5/6 were learning about instructional writing. They helped Miss Moore make some tasty treats to celebrate Pancake Tuesday and then wrote their own recipe to try at home! Who knew literacy could be so tasty?
Year 5/6 have been progressing well with their Mandarin lessons each week with Ren. Last week they learnt all about Chinese food and the importance of chopsticks to the Chinese culture. They even had a go trying to use chopsticks themselves!
Every Thursday, pupils will be increasing their problem solving skills through Investigative Maths. We started last week with the 'Magic V's'. The rules: the numbers 1 to 5 had to be put into the V shape so that the two arms of the V have the same total - without using the same number twice. This was extended to using the numbers 2-6. Lots of different strategies and methods were put into action during this lesson and all the boys and girls showed great determination!
Year 4, 5, 6 and 7 all had a ball on their end of year trip to Arena 7.
We played bowls and a game of laser tag which was a first for many and proved very enjoyable!
The day was finished with a delicious lunch.
The children represented Artigarvan PS so well as always.
Have a lovely summer everyone!
A number of children have been working on progressing their phonics and reading skills through Headsprout, an online reading programme. Gerry, the headsprout leader has commented on the fantastic progress made by all of the children. The children were congratulated in assembly and presented with a certificate and a prize. Well done everyone!
In our school the children have many opportunities to play a range of musical instruments. Darren came to school to distribute certificates to children who have achieved awards in playing the chanter. Well done to all of the children for their hard work and dedication.
Today Year 5/6 had a little party to say a huge THANK YOU to Baby Ralph and Victoria for visiting our class since September. We loved watching Baby Ralph grow and develop and we have learnt lots of new things. We hope Baby Ralph will visit Artigarvan P.S sometime again in the future. Thank you from us all!
We have been having so much fun learning all about capacity this week. We have done lots of practical activities indoors and outdoors every day this week. Including board games, sorting and ordering, estimating and measuring, capacity puddles and interactive games. Just look at what we’ve been doing :)
As a special treat for being such a fantastic class P5/6 went on an egg hunt this afternoon.
It was great fun!
