I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains. MNU 1-20a
I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria. MNU 1-20b
Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale. MTH 1-21a
We have been organising information in tables using tally marks.
We displayed information in pictograms, bar graphs, Venn and Carroll diagrams.
We also use spreadsheets to help us make bar graphs on the computer.

We had a tennis coach teaching us some skills. After a warm up we had to hide a ball behind our back then hold it out in our left or right hand. Our partner had to hit it as quickly as they could. We then got to use a racket to hit the ball to our partner.
Zoe – Tennis was my favourite sport this week. I liked hitting the ball with the racket. My partner threw the ball. I had to catch it and hit it back.
Isla – I liked it when we had to bounce and hit the ball. We had to keep the score in our head.
I am developing an awareness of the ways in which followers of world religions celebrate different times of year and can relate these to my own life and community. RME 1-06b
We have been learning about the Christian festival of Harvest and also the Jewish festival of Sukkot. We designed and made our own Sukkahs.
I collected sticks and used them for the roof because they used natural materials.
We worked together.
I had to work out how to make it stand up.
I used strong card to make the walls.
We left a hole in the roof so you could see the sky.
We used dolls furniture and lights to decorate our Sukkah.
The roof rolls back to show the sky.
Jewish people like to thank God for looking after them.
Sukkot is celebrated in the Autumn, it is similar to the Christian festival of Harvest.
It is a time to remember the time the Jewish people spent in the wilderness, being lead by Moses, when they escaped from Egypt.
To remember and celebrate Sukkot, Jews build a sukkah.
A sukkah is a special hut with a wooden frame. The roof is made from branches and leaves because the stars can still be seen through them.
It is nicely decorated with candles and fruit. People like to hang fruits from the roof and hang pictures and decorations on the walls.
During the Sukkot celebrations Jews like to spend as much time as they can in their sukkah. They will eat, sing, tell stories and even sleep in their Sukkah.
Primary 3.2 wrote a book called ‘The Day the Pencils Quit.’ As we had been using punctuation to help us read with expression, we invited P1 to hear our story. We used expression to read a page each.
Primary 1 then sang us some songs they had been learning.
Over the past few weeks we have been using punctuation to aid our expression when reading aloud. We worked in groups to identify and highlight all the punctuation from pages in the book – ‘The Day the Crayons Quit.’ We worked out what all the punctuation meant and we each took turns to read a section out loud. We were given 2 stars and a wish by the rest of the class and we had to work on improving our wish the following week.
Alex – We had to speak loudly if the word was in capital letters and even louder if it was underlined too.
Albie – When there is an exclamation mark it means you speak louder too.
Erin – You pause when there is a full stop and it’s only a short pause for a comma.
Fern – You are asking a question when there’s a question mark so your voice goes up.
Thewhole class then made a book called ‘The Day the Pencils Quit.’ We wrote a letter to Mrs Wight pretending to be a pencil that was not happy and was complaining to her. We used all the punctuation we had learned in our reading to make our pencils sound very grumpy. There were lots of different complaints from all the different coloured pencils.
Our aim was to use a variety of punctuation in our reading and we were all successful at this.
It was open hour when we were redrafting our letter so some visitors got to read them. If you visit our class everyone is more than welcome to read our completed book.
We have been solving problems by making a model or drawing a diagram.
We had to work out how many cows and hens there would be if there were 4 heads and 12 legs. Some of us drew cows and hens on our whiteboards to help and some groups used art straws and made models.
We measured the height of everyone in the class then compared our heights with Flat Stanley. Most of us were taller than Flat Stanley. Flat Stanley is 122cm tall. We drew around Andrew as he is the same height as Flat Stanley. We turned Andrew’s outline into Flat Stanley. We made a painting of Erin who is the same height as Flat Stanley, one of Natasha, who is shorter than Flat Stanley and one of Jessica, who is taller than Flat Stanley.
