In Numeracy, we have been looking at using the < (less than) and > (greater to) symbols. Ask your child, why we have to think about a hungry crocodile!
Pupils worked in pairs and challenged themselves by using the range of numbers they wanted to work within. They then used the lollipop less than/greater to sticks to complete the statements.
We have been learning about nouns, adjectives and verbs. Ask your child at home if they can explain what these terms mean and can they give examples.
In class, we were given 3 minutes in a team to sort the nouns, adjectives and verbs. Everyone worked hard and lots of good discussion took place.
We then used pictures as stimulus to create our own excellent sentence containing a noun, adjective and verb. Mrs Conetta was extremely impressed!
We watched a video about Alexander Graham Bell’s life. We found out interesting facts that he played the piano for his mum who was deaf and she held her hearing device up to the piano to hear/feel the vibrations. Alexander and his father were both teachers. They taught deaf people to speak.
We explored telephones through the years and then designed our own telephones.
We started our new block of PE today. We are focusing on gymnastics this term. Today we have been discussing the importance of warming up and stretching, being safe and being aware of others.
We learnt the 5 basic shapes – straight, tuck, straddle, pike and star. Everyone did such a fantastic job that we were able to try some more advanced shapes – the dish, arch, front support and back support. Pupils worked with a partner and gave each other feedback on their body positioning to help them improve.
As part of our Scottish fortnight, P3/4 are learning about different Scottish Inventors. Today we learnt about John Logie Baird who invented the first TV.
After learning about his life and creating a timeline of significant events, we worked in groups to create our own mini TVs!
