This week in Primary 3 we have been super busy exploring all curricular areas!<\/p>\n
Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n We have been learning how to create an interesting and capturing imaginative story.<\/p>\n ‘I recreated my favourite story and changed the beginning, middle and end. My story had a sequence of events.’ – Oscar<\/p>\n ‘We learnt about VCOP (vocabulary, connectives, openers and punctuation). VCOP makes our writing more interesting and detailed.’ – Jace<\/p>\n ‘To achieve our success criteria, we had to use capital letters, full stops and clear finger spaces.’ – Max M.<\/p>\n We have been introduced to our Handwriting jotters too! Each week, we will be practising our letter formation to ensure it is neat, on the line and clear.<\/p>\n ‘Our letters for the week were c, o, a, d, g, and q. Each letter begins with the formation of c.’ – Lilian<\/p>\n Numeracy and Mathematics\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n ‘We have been learning about the concept of time.’ – Oscar<\/p>\n ‘I know how to read the clock when it says o’clock and half past.’ – Kerr<\/p>\n ‘I practised my mental maths skills for addition by using loop cards.’ – Harrison<\/p>\n ‘During our mathematics, we have been adding two digit numbers. We have been using number talks to solve the calculations. We are learning to add the tens and units together.’ – Scarlett<\/p>\n ‘I have been practising to add and subtract near doubles. Near double is when a digit is close to a double. For example, 10 + 9 = 19, which is almost the same as 10 + 10 = 20.’ – Fara<\/p>\n Other Curricular Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n Our Social Studies concept this term will be the Stone Age. The children selected this period of time after they were provided with the relevant Experiences and Outcomes.<\/p>\n ‘In PE, we completed an obstacle course with javelin, long jump, shot putt and hurdles.’ – Adam<\/p>\n ‘In Music, we were learning how to keep the beat to different songs and rhymes.’ – Luca R.<\/p>\n ‘Bonjour! I can say ‘my name is Emelia’ in French!’. – Emelia<\/p>\n This week has been exceptionally busy exploring all curriulcar areas. We cannot wait for next week!<\/p>\n Just a little reminder, we have uploaded a SWAY about our classroom, which will provide you information of our daily school life!<\/p>\n Have a wonderful weekend everyone, you have all worked extremely hard!<\/p>\n Love Mrs Amin xxx<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week in Primary 3 we have been super busy exploring all curricular areas!
