Another group of children enjoyed a trip to Specsavers this week!
The class completed their solo talks this week and they were all fantastic! The children really enjoyed the experience of performing and being part of an audience, well done!
This week some of the children in the class went on a trip to Specsavers to find out about the role of an optician. (Another group of children will be going on Monday!)
We have been continuing with the topic of measure this week in maths, exploring and experimenting with volume and capacity. The children learned about the units we use to measure volume, reading scales and estimating the volume different containers hold.
This week the children have been practising their drama skills using our RME topic of Buddhism. We listened to the story of ‘The Buddha’ and acted out the story in groups.
We have also been learning about measure in maths this week. The children carried out lots of practical activities. They were investigating how far their toy cars could travel, measuring classroom objects and putting them in order and matching different objects to what measuring instrument they would use.
This week we had talks from two doctors and St.Andrew’s Ambulance service who gave the children the opportunity to learn the lifesaving skill of CPR.
Primary 3.10 have been learning about adjectives, nouns and verbs this week. The children did some fishing, using magnets, to find either an adjective, verb or noun and write a sentence which included the word they found. They were also looking for these different words in newspapers and cut them out!
We have also been exploring germs (how easy it is for them to spread and what we can do to stop them spreading). We carried out an experiment using glitter to see how germs can spread. There was a discussion afterwards about how we need to make sure we wash our hands properly. The children completed a step by step guide on how to wash your hands!
Primary 3.10 are carrying out their very own litter campaign! We did some litter picking this week and investigated the different material people are littering the playground with which lead to a discussion about the different bins we can use to put litter in.
