Our P7s have arrived safely at Benmore and are enjoying their first day!

We kicked off the new topic today at our Numeracy Assembly – Combining and Partitioning Numbers.

This is all about splitting numbers up and building numbers in different ways. We will be doing a lot of work on Place Value with this, focusing on Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Ones ( previously known as units) and more!

Here are some useful websites for you to explore at home:

Place value games

Partitioning Games

Building 10 app available to download

Useful free apps:

number pieces

Number bonds to 10

Maths slide – hundreds, tens and ones

Place value fish

Enjoy!

Whoooo Hooo the wait is over! 🎉

The pupils have enjoyed their first play on the Trim Trail today and it was brilliant.

We have been amazed by the pupils´ patience, thank you!

The Trim Trail is to be used and enjoyed by the pupils at Tollcross.

⚠️All children using the playground out of school opening hours must be supervised by an appropriate adult. ⚠️

After a whole school vote, it has been decided we will be watching Toy Story at our movie night next Friday.

Please come along wearing your Pyjamas!

There will be a raffle and lots of snacks and treats.

Hope to see you there 😎

All of the classes started their new Tollcross Counts topic this week – Sequencing and Ordering Numbers.

Lots of impressive ideas and maths vocabulary being used in the Numeracy Assembly yesterday. #madmathsskillz

Some games and activities for home:

Door numbers can be used to play a few games whilst out and about- trying to guess the next door, noticing odd and even patterns.

Money can also be used to order the value of coins or even order the prices from your shopping.

You could create sequences using numbers at home – ages, birthdays, favourite numbers, heights etc.

You could play the supermarket memory game ‘I went to the supermarket and I bought…’ but include numbers of items that have to be in order lowest to highest or highest to lowest.

Online ordering & sequencing games

This topic fits well with measure. This could be ordering different food items at home for weight or even putting household objects into size order ascending and descending.

Enjoy!

P7 were outstanding at the JGHS Christmas concert last night. They looked super smart and were excellent representatives of the school.

They sang some tricky songs with enthusiasm and a smile, so proud!
