Your last ever homework of P3 can be found below 🙂
Inference Iggy
This morning when we came into class we noticed something strange had happened. All around the classroom, there were lots of clues!
I think the Riddler has been here! – Ben
We decided we should turn into detectives and solve them. We found it really fun but we had to read all of the information carefully to make our guess.
We then found out that all of our clues had been left by Inference Iggy. He is a dog who looks like a detective! He helps us to hunt for clues and is going to help us do this when we are reading lots of different texts.
Fun in the Sun
We decided to make the most of the glorious Scottish weather and take our maths outdoors. We used chalk and also searched on the banking for natural materials to make up some of our times tables. 
Some of us were sorting 3D shapes too. We had so many to look through!
We made sure we were responsible and cleaned up after ourselves at the end. We even tidied up some mess we hadn’t made. We were really sad to find lots of plastic cups and litter on the banking because we know how harmful this can be to wildlife. We brought all the plastic inside so Miss MacArthur can take it home to her recycling bin.
Food Chains
As part of our new science topic we have been learning all about food chains. We found it really interesting and couldn’t believe every food chain in the world starts with a plant! We sorted a food chain in our groups and then made some of our own. We are going to go outside to see if we can spot any animals and work out a food chain they may belong to on Thursday. Here’s hoping the sun keeps shining!
Spelling
We were given the choice about how to practise our spelling words today.
Isla chose to use lego to create her words. Can you work out what it says?
Rayna, Manya, Callum and Holly chose to play beat the teacher.
Jessica, Ella and Skye chose to use paint. They even added some tints and shades to their paint! 🙂
Ruby and Ella chose to write on the desks using chalk pens.
Harris made his words out of lego too, can you work it out?
Gymnastics Fun
On Monday we were so lucky to have a special gymnastics session by Mrs Wilson. We were learning all about balancing and keeping our body steady on lots of different bits of equipment. We had great fun!
Homework 13.5.19 – 17.5.19
What are we up to in P3a?
There are only 7 and a half weeks left until we become big P4s but we still have lots of exciting things planned for P3. Have a look at what we are getting up to!
Maths
In maths we are currently learning…
Circles: 3D shape
Triangles: 4 and 5 times table
Squares: 6 and 7 times table
Science Experiments
Last week we finished up our science topic all about sound. We made kazoos and pan pipes. We had to follow the instructions really carefully. Once we had made our kazoos, we tried to alter the pitch of the sound by moving our straws and making them bigger/smaller. We found it really fun!
I think it was a success making a kazoo. It was so fun because I had never played a kazoo before. It also got your problem to work. – Skye
We made it by getting lollipop sticks and elastic bands. We got a big elastic band and put it around the lollipop stick and then we put a ruler and cut 3cm of straw. We put it in the lollipop sticks and fastened it. – Amber
