I – Doubling With Pim Without Crossing 10 (Step 3): I can double 2 digit numbers.
Remember to partition the 2 digit number first. Double the tens and double the units. Put them back together again.

Remember to find the number and say which number comes next when you count (or, add one to the units digit).

Hello everyone,
Today we would have had a Burns Supper in nursery to celebrate Robert Burn’s Birthday!
Robert Burns lived along time ago and is famous for his Scottish Poems and Songs. Here is a clip of someone sharing their Burns Day.
Perhaps your family is planning to have haggis, neaps and tatties for your tea today. If you have a Burns Supper at home we would love for you to share a photo on your ILD or school twitter @abbotswell.
I have a funny Scottish Song for you today, see if you can sing-a-long.
Stay Safe

It is already Week 3 of home learning! The past three weeks have been challenging, but very rewarding, to see primary 7 make so much progress from their own resilience and independence has been fantastic. A massive thank you to everyone at home for supporting P7 with their learning and providing them with lots of additional life skills that they will be learning during this time.
Reflecting on the feedback from the class last week, P7 are enjoying CLIC, writing, spelling, but would like more practical activities perhaps away from the screen. So, this week many of our learning activities involve outdoor learning, expressive arts and life skills. All to encourage time away from the screen.
Here is to another brilliant week! Primary 7’s positivity and desire to make progress with their learning is super! Keep this up p7!
Below is our Week 3 Home Learning Overview Grids. As always any questions or concerns please get in touch.

Best Start Grant
The Best Start Grant is made up of three possible payments. It provides parents or carers who get certain benefits or tax credits with financial support during the key early years of a child’s life.
- the Pregnancy and Baby Payment – a one-off payment of £600 for a first child or £300 for a second or later child. It can be paid during pregnancy or until the baby is six months old in most cases. It could help you pay for maternity clothes, a cot or a pram
- the Early Learning Payment – a one-off payment of £250 if your child is between two and three and a half years old. It could help you pay for day trips, books or toys for home learning
- the School Age Payment – a one-off payment of £250 if your child is around school starting age. It could help you pay for a new school bag, school trips or after school activities.
The three payments are grants, not loans, so you don’t have to pay them back. You can decide how you want to spend the money.
When you need to apply for the School Age Payment depends on when your child was born:
| Your child’s date of birth | When you can apply |
|---|---|
| Between 1 March 2014 and 28 February 2015 | Last date for applications was 29 February 2020 |
| Between 1 March 2015 and 29 February 2016 | Between 1 June 2020 and 28 February 2021 |
| Between 1 March 2016 and 28 February 2017 | Between 1 June 2021 and 28 February 2022 |
You cannot apply outwith these dates.
You cannot apply for the School Age Payment for a child born before 1st March 2014.
If you get the School Age Payment, you’ll get £250 for each child you can get the payment for.

This week primary 2 have been learning about 3D shapes!
They were challenged to create a 3D junk model and to have a think about the shapes they used to build it.
We saw some amazing creations and are so excited to share some of them!
Well done Primary 2!
