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!
P3/4 have enjoyed Book Week Scotland.
We have loved having visitors in to our classroom to read to us – thank you to P7 pupils, parents and author, Hannah Willow.
We thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘My Police on Patrol’ and meeting the kids officers with their car and police horses!
P3 pupils had a great morning with their families completing activities and receiving their Read, Write, Count bags.
P4 had fun making origami bookmarks.
The mobile library visited us this week too.

The results are in! P3/4 have come to the conclusion that plants need both light and water to grow healthily. We examined all the plants and we used our measuring skills to measure the growth of each plant.

Today during ICT, we were learning about the keys on the keyboard and basic features within Word.
Ask us about the shift key, the enter/return key and space bar.
We had to find the capital letters on the keyboard to type the alphabet in lower case, then use the shift key to make the letters capital. We also changed the font, the font size and colour of our spelling words which we typed into the document.
We learn about the products and resources we can get from the rainforests. Pupils then learnt how to create a PicCollage on the iPad to display their learning about the rainforest products and resources.
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.
