Good Afternoon!

We’ve had another busy week in Primary 3/2

For Numeracy this week, we have been working on our subtraction skills and strategies. We like to use resources like number lines, counters and ten frames to help us. Remember there are some activities on Education City for you to have a go at at home.

We are working on the science topic of senses at the moment. This week in class, we were learning about the sense of smell. The children enjoyed doing a smell test and had some great guesses for various things. Maybe you could do this at home too.

After our 2 week focus on COP26 issues, the children are much more aware of the climate issues facing our world and are able to suggest ways we can change things to make improvements for the future. We went outside and collected natural things from the playground to make a collage heart to show that we love nature. The children have all thought about changes they can make at home to save energy or help the environment.

We finally used the cardboard boxes that you sent in. Thank you for this! The children worked together to make houses and buildings out of the boxes to create our own town. We then explored the issues of safety and looking after our community. They are looking forward to playing with them all.
