The circles and the triangles have been learning about more than and less than. The crocodiles helped them to remember the correct position of the signs. It only eats big numbers. They were all very successful in this learning.
The squares have investigated 3D objects and in doing so are now able to say how many faces,edges and corners these objects have.They also made these 3D objects from nets that they cut up. Well done to Adam,Cameron C., Daisy and Grace.
Primary 4/3 worked with a partner to decide on success criteria for creating a poster. They looked at a variety of ready made posters and decided with their partner why it was successful. They then used their ideas to create a list of success criteria to use when they make their own posters.
Primary 4/3 have been enjoying learning about ‘The Skeleton’ and ‘The Organs’ in Science. Primary 4 carried out research using videos and the internet to make notes. They used their notes to create these informative and eye-catching posters on their chosen human organ. Primary 3 created these labelled diagrams to show that they know the names and position of important bones of the skeleton.
The children were given the month of March to create a picture for the school calendar. As March is associated with the wind they made individual kites using the design from their social justice pictures. We thought we would give you a preview and hope that this might encourage you to buy the calendar this year.
We worked collaboratively to research a variety of Paralympic events. We made posters which included a title, facts and interesting graphics. When we had finished, we shared our learning with the rest of the class by presenting our posters to them.
When P4 were doing bounce back they looked at social justice. They learned that social justice was about being fair and caring for all people in the world. They discussed the different groups who try to make sure that things are fair for all people. Save the Children was mentioned as well as many other charities.
In writing the children wrote thank you letters to Mrs. Strang for the work that she does for Save the Children and making things fair for children across many countries.
P4 looked at some art work that represented social justice and had an interesting discussion about how they managed this. They then used the visual elements of line, shape, colour and pattern to create their own piece of art work showing the image of a handshake.
Here are two of the letters by Ruby and Rhys.
Here is the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janiero. We discovered that it looks over the city of Rio and is 38 metres in height. It is also 28 metres from finger tip to finger tip. We worked out how many classes would need to be put on top of one another to reach it and how many classes side by side would fit into the outstretched arms.We were shocked. It did make it very real for us though, as none of us have actually seen it. It also weighs 30 tons.
