We have been learning about the brain and its functions.
We made a paper maché brain and identified the different parts of the brain. We used coloured tissue paper to distinguish the different lobes and their functions.
This block of homework has now ended. The next homework block will commence on 28th April 2025.
Primary 3/4 celebrated Valentine’s Day by discussing what it feels like to fall in love with a good book. We then enjoyed reading our library books.
In hockey today, we have been consolidation our hold on the stick, our push pass, aiming towards a target and stopping the ball.
Mrs Conetta and P3/4 are looking for old newspapers to use in Science next Tuesday (18th Feb). If you have any at home and are finished with them, please send them in.
Thank you!
When we start a new topic/IDL, we like to complete a KWL (what you KNOW, what you WANT to know and what you have LEARNT).
Today, the class logged into Glow, open their emails and used the link sent by Mrs Conetta to a KWL Padlet on My Body. It is like an online post-it notice board that updates in real-time! Everyone was excited to post on the Padlet and read everyone else’s posts about the body.
We will revisit the Padlet and add what we have learnt at the end of the topic.
PE days are Wednesday and Friday.
PE kits consists of a school polo shirt/t-shirt, shorts/leggings and a CHANGE of shoes e.g. gym shoes or trainers, which are not worn outside.
PE bags can be left on your pegs and will sent home regularly.
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.
