Welcome back to our blog! This week our focus has been on Book Week. Come and have a look at some of our amazing pictures of learning!
As you can tell, we were filled with excitement whilst receiving our Read, Write and Count bags.
We were learning about predictions using the three books from book week. After we read the stories, we had to confirm or reject our predictions.
‘A prediction is a sensible guess on what the book is going to be about.’ – Scarlett
‘To make a prediction, we explore the front cover and title.’ – Jace
Using the Growth Mindset book called ‘My Magic Breath’, we learnt about mindful breathing.
‘When you are stressed and worried we have learnt to take a deep breath through our mouth and nose to release tension.’ – London
‘We created paintings with our face on it to show that we will try to do magic breathing!’ – Fara
Another book we explored was ‘There is no Dragon in this Story’. After reading the story, we were provided with a STEM challenge. We have displayed that TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!
‘We had to make a house that was stable for the three little pigs. Once it was made, we had to make sure that it could not be blown away.’ – Hasan
‘Our building needed a good structure to make sure that it did not fall. We used limited resources to make our buildings. We had paper, lollipop sticks and straw.’ – Kerr and London
Blether stations!
‘At out blether stations, we had to work in teams to up-level simple sentences. To up-level the sentences we used adjectives!’ – Aria
‘I used nouns and adverbs to up-level my sentences.’ – Gurleen
We love creating Helicopter Stories using our imagination. The best part is when we get to retell our story with our peers using our voice, tone and a variety of actions.
‘We are acting out different characters from stories.’ – Max B.
We have been learning about adverbs and we created our own trees to describe how the apples are falling.
‘An adverb is describing how something happens. For example apples are falling slowly or quickly.’ – Emelia
To continue up-levelling our stories and sentences we have learnt about Onomatopoeia!
‘Onomatopoeia is words to describe a sound such as Boom, Bang, Pop and Splash!’ – Max M. and London
This week has been a fantastic week of learning. Everyone has worked extremely hard and has shown me their best listening skills. Everyone has tried to be the best that they can be! Let’s continue working super hard Primary 3a!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Love Mrs Amin ☺️ xxx
