Fantastic day with our Glasgow Counts CLoLs at the Royston Learning Hub - a busy week ahead for the GIC with two days of probationer training and in service day inputs across the city. We trained 490 staff across the two August in service days… one to beat this weekβ€½

P3 enjoyed a visit from our fantastic Mathletes who helped us learn about pattern and shape. We really enjoyed the activity that they had planned for us! @mathsweek.scot @glasgowcounts.bsky.social

P3 loved the Dance session with Megan. We learned that we apply different maths concepts when we dance. For example, counting the beats and moving in the correct direction. We also loved the warm up game creating as many numbers as we could using our body!

A very busy week here at the GIC! It was great to start off with our Numeracy CLoLs engaging in their first Core training day. Lots of resources to explore and strategies to try. #CPA
