We have been learning about the plants in the rainforest and we are carrying out an experiment to investigate what plants need to grow.
We watched a video and then designed an experiment to grow cress in different conditions. Each group had 4 pots to plant and then we will vary the conditions for each pot – sunlight and water, no sunlight and no water, sunlight and no water, and water but no sunlight. We drew a labelled diagram and wrote our own hypothesises.
Today we have been revising lots about place value through active station.
After the 150th Anniversary Launch event, we have several jumpers and cardigans in P3/4 with no owner or no names on the labels. We would love to reunite them with their owner!
2x M&S 7-8 jumpers with the school badge and anniversary dates
1x M&S 7-8 cardigan
1x Asda George 6-7 cardigan
1x Asda George 10-11 cardigan
We have been working hard on place value. Today we completed a table top challenge to partition numbers. We using Base 10 to explore the column value e.g. 157= 1 hundred, 5 tens, 7 units and the quantity value e.g. 100, 50 and 7.
Our 5 week homework block has now finished.
Mr Harper and his colleague visited us from East Ayrshire Council and talked to us about littering, dog fouling and fly-tipping.
We were surprised to know that a banana takes 2 years to decompose and nappies take up to 500 years!
P3/4 scanned QR codes to access different websites on our iPads to find out information about rainforest plants.
Things we learnt:
Our morning starters change weekly and we have been focusing on the alphabet. Each table has a different activity and then they rotate each day so everyone gets a chance to explore each activity.
We have been ordering the alphabet in small letters, in capital letters, matching the small letter to capital letters and identifying the letters before and after.
Primary 3/4 successfully all logged onto the laptops using their usernames and passwords!
We have been learning to use the trackpad on the laptop. We practised our clicking and dragging skills in Paint. We also learnt how to use the shape, colour and paint pot tools as well. Here are some examples of what some pupils created – great work!
