It has been super exciting in our class this week as we have started painting boxes so we can build our castle for out in the open area.  We were learning all about castles and identifying different parts of them.  We also discussed a coat of arms and we even designed our own one.

“This week in maths we were looking at multiplication. We were making groups of.” – Ayla

P3/4 enjoyed sorting skittles to gather and present data as one of our maths rotations along with other fun activities.

As we are now professionals at the Canadian Barn Dance and the Gay Gordons, we decided to move on to a new one which is the Virginia Reel. It is a challenging one but we are giving it our best shot.

We have also started using some new strategies in our class in order to help regulate our emotions. These are called wiggling toes and fingers and square breathing.

We can’t believe that we are in to term 3 already.

Primary 3/4 have worked really hard this week after a very well deserved break.

We are all very enthusiastic about or Scotland topic this month and can’t wait to build our castles.

Here are some pictures from our learning this week…

This month our school has a focus on all things Scottish. Each stage will have a specific topic and poem to learn.

This year the poem selected for P3 is Mince and Tatties by JK Annand and the P4 poem is The Snawman by JK Annand. (see both below)

A copy of the poem will also be sent home to allow everyone to practise as much as they can.
