Primary 3 have been working hard this week exploring both 2D and 3D shape!

As part of our maths lesson we set up 4 different stations in our classroom where children could build shapes using resources such as play dough and cubes, draw  and describe shapes. Children then had to discuss  why the shapes were  different!

At the end of our lesson we had a shape quiz where p3 amazed me with how much they had remembered!

Fantastic Work Primary 3!

This maths group worked together to complete a number loop game identifying hundreds, tens and ones in different numbers.

Primary 3 took a trip outdoors last week to investigate symmetry in nature. During our morning challenges children had been creating symmetrical patterns using Numicon.

We first discussed what symmetry is and what something symmetrical would look like before heading outside. Working with a partner they were challenged to find as many symmetrical objects as they could to use in their symmetrical pictures. 

After completing the first challenge primary 3 had to form bigger groups to make their pictures larger.

Finally we decided to have a go at creating symmetrical images within our groups but we were only allowed to use our bodies. Here is how we got on…

Great Work Primary 3!
