Our Young leaders in Learning (YLL) had their first visit to another school this week.

Five P7 pupils went to Preston Street Primary to find out about how they learn Maths.

They took part in a maths lesson and also visited literacy and social studies lessons in P6 and P7 classes.

The P7s identified some similarities and differences between the schools. They gained some great ideas for new ways to learn Maths at Tollcross which we will be trying out.

We also saw their very fancy water fountain and would like one of them! 💧

Looking forward to when the YLLs from Preston Street Primary visit Tollcross on 26th of March to find out about how we teach and learn maths. 🤩

Thank you to our YLL for representing the school excellently and making us proud.

We started our new Counts topic today, Combining and Partitioning numbers.

This will focus on building up and breaking down numbers, highlighting the place value of each digit.

This video may help explain:

Place value song

We are using the language Hundreds, Tens and Ones ( rather than units)

E.g. H T O

4 3 2 this number has 4 hundreds (400), 3 tens (30) and 2 ones (2)

Some games you could play at home:

Games for 7-11 year olds

Games for everyone

Fun games

Enjoy!

Lovely to see all of the numeracy learning about Place Value today after our launch of the new Tollcross Counts Topic.

Well done Tollcross Number legends!

I have been so impressed with all the enthusiasm in PE!

We used QR codes for different levels of challenge and creativity to design personalised fitness stations. 😅

Looking forward to seeing lots of families at the Movie Night this Friday the 31st of January!

We started our new Tollcross Counts topic today, Sequencing and Ordering.

This topic looks as ordering numbers and other items, it can provide links with learning about measure.

It may be an opportunity to explore patterns in nature when you are out and about.

We watched this amazing video in assembly showing a chimp ordering numbers: Chimp vs Human
