Our class trip top Lochthorn Library
We enjoyed our visit to the library and choose our own books to read.
Visitors in class –
Our school cleaning staff visited us to tell us about their jobs. We know we have responsibilities to help look after our classroom too, and make it a nice environment to play and learn in.
We are counting up to 100 days at school on ten frames on our rocket!
P3.4 Maths Games
We have been creating our own place value games and writing the game rules. We used bottle tops to represent ones, tens, hundreds and thousands.
Thank you to everyone who sent their bottle tops in to class! 😊
P3.4 Maths and ICT
One of the things we have been learning about in maths is data handling. We have each been recording how pupils travel to school over one school week, using tally marks in a daily survey. Then, during our ICT lesson, we have transferred all this data independently onto a bar chart, labelling the X and Y axis.
We have talked about the importance of collecting and recording accurate data and its many uses – especially in today’s news when we can regularly see coronavirus information shared.
