Science

We have started learning about magnets in Science this week. We know that magnets have a North Pole and a South Pole. Magnets can attract other materials and they can also repel material. When magnets attract other materials they are drawn close to them.

We had lots of fun using the different magnets around the classroom to see which materials were magnetic.

We carried out an investigation in the class to test the magnetism of different objects. First we predicted if the material was going to attract or repel the magnet. Then we tested the object with a magnet to see if our predictions were right.

WB 29th May 2019

In numeracy we have been learning about time. We have been learning to tell the time using o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past on analogue and digital clocks. We are coming to the end of our topic of time so we decided to take our learning outdoors for some revision.

We used chalk to draw our clock faces and found natural materials from the playground to make the clock hands. We had lots of fun working together to make our clocks and then competing against one another in a head to head game of “stop the clock”.

We have also been learning about drama techniques this week. We have started learning about freeze frames. We know that in a freeze frame we are not allowed to talk so we have to make sure we are making use of our facial expressions and body language to show the image.

In literacy we have been looking at setting. We have been listening to some descriptions of settings from our favourite books in the class library. On Thursday we had a discussion about what makes a good description of a setting and the most popular answer was adjectives. We then looked at some different pictures of settings that we might use to write our own stories and worked together to record as many adjectives as we could to describe the pictures.

Solo Talks

Just before the holidays primary 3a completed their solo talks on The Rainforest. I was blown away with the time and effort that had been spent creating these talks. They were amazing! As a class we listened to each other’s talks and gave comments and questions at the end of each one. Here are some pictures of us in action.

Google Drive

If any of the pupils have used a digital device to make their presentation for the Rainforest then please upload it to their google drive so that it can be accessed from school. Instructions to do this are below.

Search for google drive on the internet. If you are using a tablet, mobile or ipad you can dowload an app for google drive.
Once you are on the link www.google.com/drive it will ask you to log in.
Log in using pupils glow email address which is what they use to get onto the class chromebooks, although you need to add @er.glow.scot to the end. For example ‘gw17surnamethenfirst@er.glow.scot’. Their password is the same one that they use to get onto the schools chromebooks.
Then once logged on click the button on the top left hand corner that says ‘new +’. You then select upload file and can choose from your documents which file you want to upload.
Once the file is uploaded it should appear in ‘My Drive’. This can then be accessed by the pupils from school.

You can also access google drive from the tab on pupils Glow homepage. To access glow you:

Search for ‘glow rm unify’ on google.
Log in using glow username e.g. ‘gw17surnamefirstname@glow’. Password is the same as what pupils use in school.
Once accessed it will take you to your childs GLOW homepage which should look like the picture below.
From there you can access any of the websites and resources we use in school, including google drive.

If you have any further questions please ask Miss McFlynn 🙂 Hope this helps!
