After time in our literacy groups we decided to do a little game to help us work on our connectives. Primary 3 know connectives are words which join two sentences together but I challenged them to make my sentences longer by using a connective. It was their job to complete my sentence on their whiteboards. They had to work with their learning partners.

We have been working on our spelling this morning.

In the back of our literacy jotters we have our own little dictionaries where we write down any words we have spelled wrong or we need help with during our literacy tasks. In our classroom we have lots of spelling activity cards that we can do when we finish our work. This morning we decided to spend some time doing this all together. We had the choice between pyramid words, rainbow write and bubble writing.

While most of primary 3 completed this task we also had laptops set up to practice the 1200 common words on a little game called Doorway Speller. All children will be able to play this game on rotation throughout the term. If you want to play this at home I have posted the link below, it is called Speller 2.

We learned about Remembrance Day and made lots of poppy field pictures to display in our classroom.

Primary 3 were interested in the reason why we have a silence on the 11th of November so we took some time to talk about the soldiers that fought in the world wars.  We were so respectful in our discussions and throughout the 2 minute silence. Although we learned about this on the 11th it took us a while to finish off our beautiful pictures… here they are below.

Primary 3 have been working really hard in gym this term.

We shared our amazing gymnastics learning in the classroom before we went to gym today!

We watched a real gymnastics routine before talking about what we had learned so far and how we could connect all these things together to make our very own gymnastics routine. As we had looked at balances, rolls, jumps and traveling already this term with Mr McCormack we  made sure we included all of these moves in to our routines.

These are pictures of primary 3 hard at work! Look at these amazing rolls, jumps and balances!

Primary 3 have been so busy this week taking part in a Dundee wide Sum Dog competition. So far we are in 60th place. Keep going primary 3, we have one more day left!
