Silly Billy

As I listen or watch, I can identify and discuss the purpose, key words and main ideas of the text, and use this information for a specific purpose. LIT 1-04a

To show my understanding across different areas of learning, I can identify and consider the purpose I am aware of and able to express my feelings and am developing the ability to talk about them. HWB 1-01a

I know that we all experience a variety of thoughts and emotions that affect how we feel and behave and I am learning ways of managing them. HWB 1-02a

I understand that there are people I can talk to and that there are a number of ways in which I can gain access to practical and emotional support to help me and others in a range of circumstances. HWB 1-03a

We read the book Silly Billy about a boy who worried about everything. His grandma told Billy about making a worry doll. He could then tell the worry doll all of his worries.

We explored some of the things we worry about and we all made worry dolls that we could tell our worries to. We also discussed who else we could tell our worries to and in class we made sure we all knew how to use our worry box. Lets hope we don’t have any more worries.

Primary 3.2 Blog

December 6, 2017 Mr Masters Leave a comment

Primary 3.2, I have really enjoyed looking through your blog and seeing all of the work that you have been doing in and out of class. I am glad that you enjoyed Try a Sport Week, it looked like you had lots of fun. The work that you did on Sukkot in Judaism looked really interesting. Your Windfarm visit also looked great and I’m glad you got to take part in some practical activities. Keep up the good work, Mr Masters.

The Windy Windfarm

I understand how technologies help provide for our needs and wants, and how they can affect the environment in which we live.

I can explore the latest technologies and consider the ways in which they have developed.

I can design and construct models and explain my solutions.

We enjoyed our visit to Whitelee Windfarm.

We found out some facts –

Murray – The blades are made in Denmark.

Calum – Whitelee is the second biggest windfarm in Europe.

Natasha – There are some poisonous snakes and other animals in the windfarm.

Andrew – One wind turbine went on fire and exploded last year.

Jessica – There are 215 wind turbines.

Isla – There are snow poles along the paths that are even taller than us.

Zoe – When we got off the school bus we were taken into a room in the visitor centre and we did some science experiments. This helped us to understand how the wind makes electricity.

Josh – Doing the science experiments was my favourite part of the trip.

Calum – When you were under the wind turbine it looked like you were falling over but it was actually the clouds moving.

Natasha -It was scary under the wind turbine.

Isla – The man took us on a walk to the wind turbine.

When we got back we made our own windmills. We had to measure and cut the wood. We made the top by cutting the shape and folding. We used a pin to attach it to the wood. We had to wear safety goggles and gloves to protect us.

Try a New Sport Week – Tennis

I am developing skills and techniques and improving my level of performance. HWB 1-22a

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.

SUKKOT and HARVEST

November 22, 2017 Mrs Wight Leave a comment

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.

I had to work out how to make it stand up.

We left a hole in the roof so you could see the sky.

We used dolls furniture and lights to decorate our Sukkah.

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.

Well done, P3.2!

November 6, 2017 Miss Johnston Leave a comment

Wow, what a great start to primary 3! I bet the primary 1 class loved hearing the story and learned a lot about punctuation too! Well done to Albie, Jessica, Zoe, and Josh for finding right angles outside our school, they really are everywhere. I can see that you are all very confident in using Microsoft Word, well done. Resizing the picture can be tricky Lauren, I’m impressed you rose to the challenge and managed to achieve the learning intention. I liked to see you all working so well together during your problem solving tasks and the Show Racism the Red Card poster activity. I’m sure Mrs Wight enjoyed reading all your letters of complaint related to the book, ‘The Day the Pencils Quit’.

Thank you, P3.2.

Sharing Our Learning

October 13, 2017 Mrs Wight Leave a comment

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.
