Robert, the Park Ranger informed us aboutHOLYROOD PARK

within its 650-acre (260 ha) area, was created in 1541!Arthur's Seat, the highest point in Edinburgh, is at the centre of the

park. It is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m (822 ft). It was formed by an extinct volcano (approximately

350 million years old). Did you know Arthur’s Seat used to be double its size?

Look what we have been up to during MATHS WEEK:

It took us approximately 15 minutes to walk from Royal School Primary School to the Rangers Hut. (We were a big group.)

Can you beat our time? We estimated how many star jumps etc. we could perform in 10 seconds.

P3 searched for Shape!

Some of us spotted more than 1000 cylinder during our walk.

We performed races and practised ordinal numbers.

We practised Place Value by using sticks and stones to display a number.

equals 35!We had lots of fun estimating how many steps we take to

measure 10 metres! One superstar got it spot on!

We hope you have lots of fun climbing Arthur’s Seat and playing at Holyrood Park! Can you bring back more (of your own) facts?

Some nearby sites of interest:

Arthur’s Seat How many steps will it take you to reach

the top? Create a map of Edinburgh from your view

at the top.

Holyrood Palace

Use your adding or multiplying skills to work out how many window panes there are. (E.g. if there are 10 panes in 1 window, how many will there be in 5 windows?)

St Margaret's Loch

Measure the circumference of the loch. Create a Carroll diagram about the different

animals that live in / on the loch. (e.g. Wings / No wings & White / not white.)

Scottish Parliament

What 2D shapes are the windows? Can you measure the circumference of

each pond? What is their total if added together?

Holyrood Park

Create an Outdoor Shop. Different parts of nature are worth different amount of money. (e.g. grass = 1p, stones = 2p & flowers = 5p)

Collect a group of sticks and put them in a pile. Reach in and grab some from this pile. Estimate how many you have taken. Check if you are correct.

How long does it take you to walk there? (In minutes and seconds? Only seconds?)

Queen’s Drive Make a tally chart of the number of

different vehicles passing by in 5 minutes. Convert this into a bar graph and make up

some questions for a partner to answer?

MATHS IN THE CANONGATE KIRK

() O D X + -

BY PRIMARY 6

In P6 for maths week we went to Canongate Kirk and made numeracy (Addition,subtraction,multiplacation and division) and maths (Data handling, ect.) challenges. We then returned on friday when our parents came where we parents

also helped.

these were some of our questions:

Who’s gravestone is the oldest? Answer: David Riccio 1566

Who’s gravestone is the youngest? Answer: Fiona Cowell 2016

Find Christina Robinsons grave. Note down her date of death. Answer: 29th march 1886

Find the more recent grave of the McQuarries (last person died 2016) add up the ages and dates seperately. Then take away the ages from the dates.

Answer:13,182

As you can see they are related to the gravestones and the suroundings of the Canongate Kirk.
