Children from Other Lands

March 8, 2017 Mrs Wight

Having explored the landscape of my local area, I can describe the various ways in which land has been used. SOC 1-13a

By exploring climate zones around the world, I can compare and describe how climate affects living things. SOC 1-12b

So far this term we have been comparing our landscape and culture in Scotland with that of the Polar Lands.

We carried out research into Scottish food and drink, traditions, signs and symbols, famous people, sport, houses, schools, landscape and music.

We designed and made our own tartan kilts and pipers.

We answered different types of questions about children that live in Scotland and also about Inuit children and found some similarities and differences about the way each live.

We carried out research, and took notes about Inuit children, polar bears and penguins and we sorted our information into bullet points.

Sophia was proud to show us her penguin she had made at home and was happy to show us how we could all make one.

We are now going to learn about the Rainforest and the people that live there.

GREAT GAMES!

January 25, 2017 Mrs Wight

I can follow and understand rules and procedures, developing my ability to achieve personal goals. I recognise and can adopt different roles in a range of practical activities. HWB 1-23a

The children worked collaboratively to create there own games in the playground.

They made up rules for their games and each group had to explain them to the class, and lead the class when playing their game.

The class gave feedback after each game looking at what worked well and any improvements that could be made.

We asked the class calculations and the first one on the answer got to ask the next question.	We had to split the class into 2 groups so there weren’t too many people running to the same number.
We all started standing in a circle. Someone stood in the middle and threw the ball to each person in turn.	If someone didn’t catch the ball they had to go and do an assault course.

Lots of people dropped the ball or didn’t throw it back very well.	They had to throw another ball between 2, ten times.
We threw the ball up in the air and caught it ten times.

We saw how far we could travel balancing the ball on the bat.	You had to get the ball in the hoop.

One group made up a game of football v basketball. This was fun but quite hard.

CLOCKWORK CLASS

December 2, 2016 Mrs Wight

Primary 3.1 have been learning to tell the time on analogue and digital clocks. They are able to tell o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to times.

We worked together to make human clocks and we used them to tell the time.

The tallest person is the minute hand.	The smallest person is the hour hand.
We sat at each number on the clock.	The person that was number 12 was at the top of the clock.

When the minute hand points to the 12 it’s o’clock.	When the minute hand points to 3 its quarter past.
When the minute hand points to 6 its half past.	We held up our fingers to show what number we were.

When the minute hand points to 9 its quarter to.

TALENTED TILERS

December 2, 2016 Mrs Wight

Primary 3.1 have been exploring the properties of a range of 2D shapes and identifying 2D shapes which will tile.
They completed tiling patterns with a range and combination of 2D shapes and designed and created tiling patterns with 2D shapes.

I used squares to make a pattern. – Olivia

We practised on the computer.

Thalia – I used triangles to make my pattern.

Fraser – You have to make sure the lines join. There can’t be any gaps.

Cara – I used hexagons.

Arlo – I made a pyramid out of triangles.

Siona – The shapes all have to have straight sides.

Jamie – My pattern is made out of triangles. I had to turn the triangle round to fill each gap.

Oli – I used lots of different shapes with straight sides to make my pattern.

Joseph – You can’t tile with circles because the sides have to fit together.

Jo – You can fill in the gaps in octagons by using squares turned round.

A Petrifying Poem

December 2, 2016 Mrs Wight

Primary 3.1 have been trying to use interesting words in their writing. This week we were using alliteration to write a Halloween Horror poem. We worked in groups to use alliteration in one line of the poem. We then put all the ideas together to make a class, spooky poem.

Alliteration is when you have to use the same sound at the start of every word. – Siona

We made haunted house pictures to accompany our class poem.

We had to blend red and yellow for the sky. – Sophia
The house was hard to cut out. – Liam
It was fun printing the ghosts and drawing on funny faces. – Cara

Circuit Stamina!

October 25, 2016 Mrs Wight

Primary 3.1 have been learning how to work together to create circuits which increase stamina. We had to trust each other, be friends and decide on our rules together. Working as a team meant we had to listen to others ideas. It was important we made our circuit safe so no one could hurt themselves. We had to make it clear what each person was expected to do by demonstrating our station. As well as learning we had to make it safe, challenging and fun. We got to try out each station, gave feedback and made adjustments where necessary. We are now confident working together and can make amazing things if we work well together. Most of us were out of breath too meaning we were improving our stamina!
