A fantastic final week in P3.9.
We created logos to communicate the purpose of our littering campaign.
3.10 invited us to their Gastronomers showcase and we were treated to a piece of gingerbread.
We enjoyed learning about symmetry, shape and tiling through some Christmas themed numeracy activities.
As part of Mearns Masters we are focussing on researching and note taking using search engines and we will eventually use this information to create an information text about plastic pollution.
We discussed what makes a fact ‘trust worthy’ and how to ‘fact check’ using multiple websites. We focussed on ensuring we understood the fact and could explain it to others.
During writing we analysed an information text with a partner and highlighted the nouns. We ordered the sections of the text and created our own titles/opening statements.
In grammar this week we continued to learn about adjectives and how they can be used to describe. The children had to sort a range of adjectives into piles based on categories they came up with themselves. This promoted excellent discussion about which words ‘belong’ together. We learned about adjectives of size and shape, feelings, colour and also qualities. The next step will be using these adjectives in our work.
