Primary 3/2 had great fun at their Christmas party.  We played pass the parcel, musical statues and had a dance competition! The boys and girls even went on a treasure hunt for gold coins.
Have a great Christmas, you have all worked very hard!

We were learning about Alexander Graham Bell who invented the first ever telephone. We learned about the liquid telephone and made our own cup and string telephone! We were able to hear our partner through the cup when the string was nice and straight. We learned that it was the sound vibrations which helped us to hear our partner.

We spoke about how much phones have developed over the years and how different the first liquid telephone is to the Iphone!

Some of us have been enjoying our spin and add game! We have to spin the wheels to pick two numbers then write out the calculation. Great work here Connor!

We have been very busy with our number work this week. We have been using cubes and counters to deepen our understanding of numbers, their place and their value. We practised using the cubes to make a calculation before writing it out. Some of us have been  working on addition with carrying. Using the cubes has helped us to see that we can exchange 10 units for 1 ten when doing our calculations!

We have been learning about halves and quarters. We really enjoyed learning how we could share our counters with two or four people, making sure that we all got the same amount!

On Friday, we had so much fun performing our talents to the rest of the class on Children in Need Day to reinact the BBC talent show. We had some people showing karate moves, dancing, gymnastics, poems and some acting! We were all so impressed by our classmates.

In health and well-being we have been learning how to cross the road safely.  We had lots of fun getting into groups to practise our STOP, LOOK, LISTEN and THINK routine!

This week we have been learning our 2 multiplication table. We had lots of fun making an array house, playing splat games and creating sets and groups of twos using cereal and Lego. In another fun game we had to try and race a partner and beat the clock.  Have a look at our learning below.

We have started a new RME topic all about the Parables of Jesus.  We listened to and discussed the story of the two builders or the wise man and the foolish man.  We talked about the message of the story and how we should always work hard in everything that we do and be kind to others.

We used different building materials and tried to build a house on cushions to be like the foolish man who took the easy way out.  We then built a house on solid foundations – it was more difficult to knock down!  We decided we would rather be like the wise man.

Primary 3 have been learning all about space.

We had great fun working collaboratively to create space shuttles.  We used different collage materials and came up with great ideas.  We presented our finished rockets to the class. In our groups we also had the challenge of creating moon fact files.

We have also been learning about the phases of the moon and created our own phases of the moon books.

Have a look below at the models we made to show that the Earth orbits the sun and the moon orbits the earth.
