We are going to be finding out about British engineers in our assembly on Friday. If anyone would like to take part in this challenge at home, have a look at these British Engineers and find out what they are well known for!

P1 – 3 Sponsored Walk
Some pupils in the village of Mpeni in Malawi currently have to walk 6km to get to school and walk 6km to get back from school every day, as there are not enough classrooms at our partner primary school. As such, we have decided to fundraise for additional classrooms. Each class has been participating in fundraising activities throughout the year, and we completed a sponsored walk.
On Tuesday 27th March Primary 1 – 3 classes completed a 6km sponsored walk. Thank you to Scotmid for donating water and snacks to keep us going.
We did it!! Thank you to all staff and parent helpers.
Look at our route:

Snow school spirit
Due to an amazing turnout from our school community including parents, pupils, staff and local community we will be able to open tomorrow. Everyone helped clear our school grounds by shoveling snow to ensure everyone has safe access to the building. Thank you to everyone that turned out. Fantastic community spirit!
Stockbridge Counts – Combining & partitioning & place value
OUR CURRENT FOCUS ACROSS THE SCHOOL IS COMBINING & PARTITIONING AND PLACE VALUE
From Monday 19th February to Thursday 30th March
What will this look like for my child?
Combining & partitioning and place value within Early Level (Nursery and P1, but earlier or later for some)
Make finger patterns:
- To show numbers 1 to 5 using one hand
- To show double patterns for 1 to 5 (two hands)
- To show doubles plus one patterns (two hands e.g. double 3 plus 1)
- To partition numbers (e.g. “Make 6 on your fingers. Can you make it another way?”)
- To partition 10 (e.g. 9 fingers up and 1 down shows 9 + 1 = 10
Recognise flashed patterns (domino and random)
- Explore partitions of numbers through dot patterns
Combining & partitioning and place value within First Level (P2, P3 & P4, but earlier or later for some)
Combining and partitioning
- Partition numbers up to ten into number bonds (e.g. know that 5 = 1 + 4 and so on)
- Use number bond knowledge to say what number gets us to/from a decade (e.g. 34 + ? = 40, 54 – ? = 50)
Place value
Split a number containing tens and units
- In a standard way e.g. (36 is 3 tens and 6 units)
- In a non-standard way (e.g. 36 is 2 tens and 16 units)
Demonstrate how the value of a digit depends on where it is placed e.g. the 3 in 236 means 3 tens or 30
Split a number into its place value parts e.g. 364 = 300 + 60 + 4 (numbers up to 1000)
Combining & partitioning and place value within Second Level (P5, P6 & P7, but earlier or later for some)
Combining and partitioning
- Partition 100 (e.g. 23 + ? = 100) to help with percentage calculations
- Partition 1000
Place value
- Demonstrate how the value of a digit depends on where it is placed (numbers up to 1 million)
- Split a number into its place value parts
- In the range 1 to 1000000
- For decimals up to 2 decimal places (e.g. 2.5 is 2 and 5 tenths)
- Split a decimal up in a non-standard way (e.g. 3.2 can be 2 and 12 tenths)
P2/3 Book Sale for Mpeni
Primary 2/3 hosted a very succesful book sale today.
