P3C have had a fantastic week!

Maths

I hope you all have a lovely October holiday!

P3C have had another great week!

Maths

This week with Miss Lamb, the class have been revising the name of 2D shapes and identifying how many sides and corners they have. We were able to use our previous learning to identify whether the corners were right, acute or obtuse angles. We came up with some silly ways to remember their names and how many sides they have.

Hexagon – the ‘x’ is also in the word six – 6 sides

Pentagon – pen for penguin – a cheeky penguin would give you a high five – 5 sides

Octagon – an octopus has eight tentacles – 8 sides

We will be working on 3D shape over the next couple of weeks. Keep your eyes peeled!

Numeracy

This week in Numeracy, pupils have been working on greater than and less than. Pupils enjoyed listening to the ‘Number Gators (Greater Than, Less Than, Symbols Song’ which helped them to remember the symbols. Pupils even created their own greater than and less than signs.

Writing

Miss Lamb was so impressed by the pupils knowledge of Safari as part of last week’s Talk homework. They children came in ready with vocabulary such as ‘camouflage’ and ‘habitat’. We read The Ugly Five by Julia Donaldson, watched some Safari video clips and then continued the story from a story starter, imagining we were on an African Safari. We had lots of wonderful ideas and thought about our senses to describe our surroundings.

Reading

This week the pupils have been working hard on their reading books. Pupils have been working on their comprehension and inference skills.

P.E.

This week in P.E. pupils have been working on their throwing and catching skills. Due to out pour of rain, pupils continued the P.E. session inside with some fun Zumba!

Space Topic

As part of World Space Week, pupils had the fantastic idea to present to the Primary 2 classes sharing all their learning on space so far. Pupils were each given a topic to research such as a planet, space history or the future of space. The P2 classes were super impressed with the knowledge the class had. Excellent work P3C, I definitely see plenty of future astronauts in our class!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Primary 3C have had another fantastic week!

Maths

The theme of Maths Week Scotland focussed on the Beauty of Maths. P3C considered where and when we use Maths in real life. They worked with Miss Lamb to create these wonderful tessellations, where 2D shapes were placed together with no overlaps or gaps. The children then chose colours to create a pattern. This involved a lot of concentration and hard work! We think they look beautiful! We got to share our learning at assembly this morning and hear what the other classes got up to.

Woodlands

As part of Maths week the pupils were challenged to look for symmetry outdoors. It was amazing to see how much symmetry is all around us. The pupils even designed their own symmetrical pictures using chalk. The pupils then took on the challenge of creating symmetrical poses with their partner.

Space

As part of our Space Topic and Maths week the pupils constructed their own 3D rockets. We began by discussing features of a rocket and even watched a clip of a rocket launching into space! The pupils were able to identify what shapes we would need to construct our rockets. Next week the pupils will launch their rockets outside to see how far they can go and measure the distance their rockets can travel.  The class were then given a construction challenge during their Soft-Start to create a rocket.

Hand writing

This week the pupils were working on joining the letters ‘LL’. The pupils were able to display beautiful hand writing – well done!

Health and Wellbeing

This week in class the class have been looking at qualities that makes a good friend. We read the book ‘The Jelly Donut Difference’ which focuses on Leah and Dexter, a brother and sister who don’t always get along, but eventually learn about kindness and generosity. The class then discussed examples of times people have been kind to them and came up with a list of different ways we can all show kindness. The pupils then created their own donut box ‘A Dozen Ways to be Kind’.

House Quiz

The pupils then took part in a house quiz as part of Maths Week. The pupils were asked challenging questions and were able to work extremely well as a team.

Literacy

Pupils have been continuing to work on their comprehension skills in literacy and working hard on their Story World books. This week we have been revising the ie, i_e, igh and y sounds. The pupils had great fun going on a word hunt around our library to try and find different words!

I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

P3C have had another excellent week!

This week the pupils have been learning the planets in order from the sun. Pupils have even created poems to help them remember.

In P.E. the pupils have been working hard on possession games and have been showing great team work.

Pupils have started Hand Writing this week and have been working on joining their letters.In Numeracy, the pupils have been working on identifying the missing number on a number line.

This week in Maths, the class worked with Miss Lamb to look at Symmetry. They had the opportunity to identify other halves of different shapes and patterns and create their own symmetrical designs. Have a look at our symmetrical art. Can you spot our lines of symmetry? We can’t wait to get these up on our classroom windows. There are lots of fun activities planned for Maths Week Scotland next week!

Miss Lamb continues to focus on Imaginative Writing. After reading ‘My Adventure Island’, and watching a video clip of a Hawaiian island, the pupils created their own stories, imagining they were on their very own tropical island! They used their senses to describe what they could see, hear, feel and touch. We aimed to add as many adjectives to our writing as possible. Some pupils even read their stories to the class!

P3C have had another great week!

This week the pupils have been looking at the planets in our solar system and have been learning about some famous astronauts. The pupils have also done some excellent imaginative writing about travelling to space.

The class have been doing some excellent work on their reading books.

The pupils created a storyboard retelling the story in their own words.

The pupils have been learning about characterisation and have created a character profile for the main character in their story book.

The pupils have then created their own mini story based on the main character.

The pupils have also been working on their comprehension.

This week P3C have been working on finding the half way point on a number line.

P3C have been working on Angles on a Tuesday and Wednesday with Miss Lamb. They have been able to identify right, acute and obtuse angles in their learning environment and in different 2D shapes. They really enjoyed finding different angles in their names. Ask them to hear their silly voices that we use to help us remember acute and obtuse!

The pupils really enjoyed their first session outside in the Woodlands. The pupils were given math challenges were they had to order, find shapes and spot different angles.

Another fantastic week, well done P3C! I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday.
