P3/4 class blog

Apologies for not having a blog last week.  With house hobbies on a Friday afternoon it is proving difficult to fit in writing it.  We will make sure we do one before the end of term.

We need parent volunteers to walk to church with us on Friday.  If you are able to help please either message me here or write a note in your child’s home/school book.

Thank you

Mrs Collett

In ICT we have been developing our keyboard skills. We are learning how to position our fingers properly when typing. It is tricky at first but through practise it is beginning to get easier.

We are beginning to plan making our own game with magnets.  We did it in pairs.  (Jessica)

P3 can answer the question “As tu un animal” and made posters of our pet.  (Libby L)

We done Scottish dancing with Mr Potter.  (Michael)

Some of the girls did a dance at the St Andrew’s day assembly.  It was fun.  (Isla)

We have 5 different advent calendars!  One is how to say Happy Christmas in different languages, one is winter activities, another one is French, one is Rudolphs that we made and their is a Santa chocolate one. (Elijah) Every day of December we are going to learn to say Happy Christmas in a different language. (Caelen)

We wrote a letter to Santa and we decorated it.  I asked for a Rubix Cube. (Libby J)  We are sending the santa letters this weekend. (Oscar)

We done the 50 club and I was on it.  (Chloe)

We practiced our handwriting.  It was fun (Lauren )

I am a superhero this week and I am happy about it . (Hope)

We are learning about number families and I liked it! (Libby J)

 

 

Just a reminder that if pupils have not already brought in their £2 contribution for house hobbies, can they please bring it in asap.  Thank you.

Also a huge thank you to all of you who have said you are available to come in and help.  Please come in on the days you have said you can help unless you hear otherwise.  The more helpers the better!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our open afternoon.  You are welcome to come into school anytime between 2-3pm to see some of the activities we have been doing in class and share our learning.

Every Wednesday in class we are learning to tell the time.  Currently some pupils are working on quarter to and quarter past whilst others are learning to tell the time to 5 minute intervals.  Currently we are using an analogue clock but will soon be moving on to digital too.  It would help your child if they can find opportunities outwith school to tell the time to cement their knowledge and understanding.  There are also games on Education city that they can play.
