In Primary 3 this week we had lots of numeracy fun for maths week! We explored shapes in nature by walking through the playground and the woodlands. We also collected leaves from the woodlands and explored lines of symmetry creating our own symmetrical images of leaves.

We learnt about the rules schools had during the Victorian times and created our own old school rule book using tea bags to make our paper look old and stained.

We ended our exiting week with the colour run and had lots of colourful fun but are excited to relax over the September weekend.

Good Afternoon,

This week we had lots of fun!

With Mrs Grey we read The Ugly Duckling and re-created the story with our own twist.

In health and wellbeing we learned about perseverance. When you find a task challenging and you get into ‘the dip’ you have to keep focusing and not give up! We are excited to practice this in next week’s learning!

In our Victorians lessons we also learnt more about Queen Victoria and created a timeline of her life. We also made posters about different aspects of life as a Victorian child such as, the games they played, who helped them day to day, the foods they ate and the transport they used. We presented our findings to the class to show our friends our fabulous work! Pictures of some of our posters can be seen below.

Have a great weekend!

Good Afternoon,

This week in Primary 3C we have been learning about life in the Victorian times. We learnt that some children in the Victorian times weren’t able to go to school and they used to work to earn money for their families. These children could even be as young as four years old!

In our Health and Wellbeing lessons we learnt about the flexible brain. We know that having a flexible brain means you can think of different ways to solve problems, whereas stuck thinking is when your brain gets stuck on one idea. All the boys and girls in Primary 3C use their flexible brain to help them solve problems everyday in the classroom.

Finally, in numeracy we have all been learning about fact families. A fact family is like a family of numbers that belong together because they can make number sentences with each other! We have been solving our own using two addition and two subtraction facts.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
