Month: November 2020

Primary 3b have had another busy week in school with lots of fun learning and activities.

Since it is catholic education week we have been doing lots of learning around different Saints. Primary 3 were learning what a Saint is and how we can become more like Saints. The pupils then done some research to create a fact file on a chosen saint.

The pupils also had lots of fun learning french with Miss Kelly. They created their very own french games to play.

This week was also our week for our virtual music class. The pupils worked hard learning all about rhythm and different beats by clapping out rhymes and taking part in games.

 

Since November is growth mindset month , this week primary 3b have been taking part in lots of growth mindset activities through maths and steam challenges.

Throughout the week we have been working on different maths challenges. The pupils have been learning about growth mindset and how having a positive attitude to challenges can help the brain work in different ways.

The pupils also took part in a STEAM challenge to work on their science, technology, engineering, art and maths skills. They had to work collaboratively to make Rumpilstiltskein a new musical instrument using various different materials.

The pupils were also given their Read Write and count bags to use in school which will then be sent home in the next few weeks. The pupils were very excited to look at their new books and activities. They had a look at the animal book and even began to create their very own animal fact file.

We will  be sharing more about these in the next couple of weeks with ideas for lots of activities the pupils can do at home also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primary 3b have had lots of fun this week especially on outdoor learning day.  As we have been learning about Laudato Si and how we can help to look after the world , the pupils went outside to use their senses and really look at the world around them.

Using the senses of see, hear , touch and smell the pupils explored the playground to see what they could find . They then worked on using various describing words when sharing what they found.

The pupils then got to work on making posters all about recycling and putting litter in the bin in order to help the environment.

 

The pupils also had a lot of fun with their virtual music class again this week. They are learning all about rhythm and using different musical notes through lots of rhyming games and activities.
