We got our week off to a great start by learning some tennis skills. The skills we were focussing on this week were sending and receiving the ball as well as aiming at a target. We have some budding tennis players in P3/4. Look out Wimbledon!

Later in the day it was time for numeracy and P3/4 were busy, as always, using the manipulatives to solve division calculations as well as making equal groups to help them grasp the concept of multiplication.

A Tuesday morning is our main writing block. This week we have been learning how to create and use paragraphs in our writing. Some pupils wrote their paragraphs onto paper whilst others chose to word process their work. A great effort by everyone!

Later in the day it was time for them to consolidate their knowledge of multiplication and division by using the manipulatives to solve calculations.

Primary 3/4 were so excited to welcome our visitors into class and to share what they have been learning. We had a busy afternoon of literacy, numeracy, technology and interdisciplinary learning. Thank you to everyone who came along. We enjoyed having you!

Thursday 2nd May 2024

We started off our day by continuing to learn about multiplication and division. Today we were working on division by grouping and division with remainders. Using Numicon helped us to see how many groups made up the whole number.

We are really enjoying our new IDL topic-‘Ancient Greece’.

We have learning about Ancient Greek Temples, Greek Gods and Goddesses and we have designed Greek vases! This afternoon we were busy developing Digital Learning skills to research facts and select information about different foods.

Anyone for Tennis?

P3/4 started the day with PE and another session of Tennis.  We have been developing our hand-eye coordination.  We were discussing resilience and the importance of working together.  Excellent work P3/4!

Food Tasting Session

As part of our IDL topic we have been exploring Greek foods.  We had a small sample of  foods to see, touch and taste.  We had to describe the texture, size and shape of olives, dates, feta cheese, roasted tomatoes and salted broad beans.

Then we had the option of tasting the snacks. Delicious!

A great way to end a very busy week in Primary 3/4!

Lots of excitement in Primary 3/4 today!

We set up our Advent altar to light the first candle of Advent.  We opened our calendar and discussed the meaning of Advent and the different candles on our altar.

We discussed special advent thoughts and prayers for this special time of year.

 

What a fantastic afternoon!

It was wonderful to share our learning with some parents and carers on Thursday afternoon.  We were all very excited to share our digital skills and demonstrate some of the different ways we use our Chromebooks in class.

 

Golf skills in PE

We have been developing Golf skills in PE this term.  For our PE session today we worked in small groups to create different activity stations. It was great fun sharing our ideas and trying out some of the different activities.

It was a cold and frosty start for us as we went outside for some inspiration for our winter diamante poems. We are proud of the first draft in our snapshot jotters and we are looking forward to word processing them next week. We enjoyed sharing and performing our poems to the rest of the class.

 

 

Later in the day we were using the maths manipulatives to help us visualise the calculations and explain our thinking .

We kick started our week by learning The Canadian Barn Dance during PE. Great fun was had and it certainly woke us all up on a cold Monday morning!

Afterwards, we got warmed up for numeracy by completing one of our favourite mental maths warm ups ‘Estimystery’. We read a series of clues and use our knowledge of numbers to estimate the mystery number. We are really accurate with our estimates and can explain our thinking.

We have been busy completing our Christmas Art for the hall. We are pleased with the finished results and can’t wait to see the hall fully decorated.

Welcome to our class blog. 

Our blog is a great way to share snapshots of our learning with everyone. We hope you enjoy seeing what we have been learning.
