P3/4 Maths Week Scotland
We have been using lots of different resources to practise place value.
We have:
- built place value castles and challenged to write the value of our castle in digits and words.
- used construction material to create structures with each colour being a different value. We then had to add 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and/or 100.
- used place value tubs to create numbers with peas and then write the number we created in digits and words.
- used number cards to write the number and then add on 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and/or 100.

P3/4 French: Numbers
We played different games to revise numbers in French today – lotto, say the number and guess which number I am. Lots of revision and fun had!
P3/4 Teamwork
Mrs Conetta set P3/4 a team challenge today. They were only allow to balance a hula hoop on their fingers and lower it to the ground. The rules were no holding on and everyone’s fingers must be touching the hula hoop the whole time.
This activity showed the class the importance of teamwork and communication. We had some great discussion about how important it is for only 1 person to speak at a time and that we should listen carefully to others. We had examples of great leadership too, when some individuals were given a countdown…3, 2, 1, lower.
