We had a busy morning today learning about commas and using them to separate a list. We also practised spelling words with our ‘ea’ sound by using different apps on the iPads.

A Busy Time in P3c.2
We have had a busy couple of weeks in P3c, learning lots of new things and having fun along the way.

We have enjoyed practising our gymnastics skills in the gym hall. We especially liked jumping off the horse!
In maths we have been practising many skills such as fractions, our 3 times table, time and following directions.
We we have also been enjoying learning about onomatopoeia. We had to try and search for them in this poem called The Sound Collector.
We we have also been taking part in outdoor learning with Mrs Duffy. Last week we made some bird feeders using Cheerios and pipe cleaners.
Coding
We have been learning about angles and direction. We have been learning how to create a set of directions using code on the computer. We all really enjoyed using this website, why not try giving it a go at home?

Exploring Germs
Over the last few weeks 3c.2 have been learning about germs. Today we looked at how germs would look under a microscope and then tried to replicate them using play dough. We also used a special machine to show us the importance of washing our hands properly. We put a special glitter bug cream on our hands and then we washed them. When we put our hands under the lamp it showed us where the bugs were still living on our hands. We were really shocked by how many germs were still there after washing! We then learned how to wash our hands properly and tried again. This time we were much more successful at getting rid of the germs.
We learned that we should sing happy birthday twice through when washing our hands to make sure we washed them for long enough. Some of us gave it a go!
Money Fun
We had a special visitor from a charity called Money Advice Scotland. We took part in a fun quiz about money, ordered all of the coins and notes and then had to match our shopping items to how much money we had. We really enjoyed our visit ☺️
Maths Week part 2
We had great fun taking part in our maths scavenger hunt. We had to find lots things in our environment such as something spherical, something which tells the time, a number in the teens and something symmetrical. We had to take a picture of each thing we found using the iPads.
Maths Week part 1
We have been enjoying exploring how maths is used in our every day life. We have been speaking about the importance of our number facts. We decided to practise these by making a number house. Each window had a question and underneath you find the answer.
Music with Mrs Lyall
We had great fun at music this morning. We played two games to help us learn our new rhythms, ta and te te. We learned that both ta and tete are worth one beat. Try challenging us by asking us to tap the rhythms.
Autumn Is Here
P3c. 1 and P3c.2 had a great time working together yesterday exploring the outdoors. We searched for different shapes and colours of leaves to create some animal portraits. We had to use our creativity to try and piece them together. We think they look great, can you work out what we designed?
In the afternoon, we extended our learning by creating some amazing autumn poems using similes. We worked together in our classes to come up with some fantastic similes about autumn leaves and then in pairs we wrote our own simile poem. We are really proud of all our hard work!
Team work makes the dream work
We worked really hard hard as part of a team to make an amazing house using our construction straws.
