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.

 

 

This has been a week filled with Halloween fun throughout. We started off with creating acrostic Halloween poems which the pupils worked really hard on by adding lots of spooky describing words . We then had lots of fun reading our Halloween book and using that to create another piece of writing.

Towards the end of the week the pupils also created their own piece of Halloween art. They all worked really hard to create their folding pumpkin.

This week has been a great week back for primary 3b! We started off with some outdoor learning incorporating the maths the pupils have been learning into a fun game called ‘What’s the place value’

The pupils then had a lot of fun in science with Mrs Reid. They made paper planes and even got to have a go at making them fly.

 

 

This week the pupils have also had their online music class. The focus of this was on rhythm and keeping the beat.

Towards the end of the week the pupils created cards with their own prayer of thanks to Mary which they all decorated and then placed on our alter in class.

Primary 3b have had another excellent week of learning this week.  The pupils are really working hard especially in literacy and numeracy and are really starting to apply a growth mindset to their learning.

We are finishing of our fitness block in PE and the pupils have been working hard on improving cardiovascular fitness and working on different anaerobic exercises through fun circuits and some relay races.

Since it’s the month of October we have been celebrating Mary. The pupils put together a jigsaw puzzle to help them remember the Hail Mary prayer .

Finally a big well done to the pupils who won an award this week 🙂

 

This week primary 3 have been having lots of fun with maths activities both indoors and outdoors for maths week!  We started the week with some problem solving games and activities.

We have also been doing lots of outdoor learning. Using chalk we worked on our strategies and problem solving skills playing knots and crosses.

Next we had a look at measure and went outside with the metre sticks to see what we could find that was 1 metre long or high. The pupils also expanded their learning by estimating how many metres things were with their knowledge of 1 metre and then used the metre sticks to check their estimations.

We have had a great week so far and are looking forward to continuing with more outdoor learning tomorrow!

We’ve had another busy week in school for primary 3 b with lot’s of fun and learning. We started of the week doing some fun activities in maths learning all about money and counting out different amounts.

We also worked really hard in our literacy this week using spider-grams to create notes on our guinea pig reports.

At the end of the week we had some fun outside in the sunshine signing our songs that we learned in last weeks music lesson!

Congratulations also to this weeks growth mindset award winners who have worked really hard on having a positive attitude to learning.

Primary 3b have had another busy week of learning this week . We started of the beginning of the week with some outdoor PE, the pupils worked on their fitness by creating some fitness routines.

 

 

We then had our very first virtual music lesson with Mrs Kerry. Our focus was keeping a steady beat and we had so much fun with all the games and activities!

In our maths this week we were learning about right angles. The pupils made their own right angle checkers and explored the classroom to find as many right angles as possible

This year, all homework can be accessed through Google Classroom.  If you are unsure how to access Google Classroom have a look at the video below (posted March).  Homework will usually include the following tasks:

• Spelling – each night, pupils can choose between Literacy Planet or a multi sensory task.
  • Literacy Planet can be accessed through Glow and login details can be found in pupils’ homework folders.  Once logged in, pupils should click ‘Tasks’, find the tasks dated that week and choose a few games to play.  They don’t need to play every game.
  • Examples of multi sensory activities can be found on Google Classroom.  Pupils should choose one activity and complete this for that day’s spelling words.  The list of spelling words for the week can be found in a Google Doc on Google Classroom.  The activities could be completed on the Google Doc with the list or in the homework jotter which will be sent out.

•  Maths – a numeracy task will be set up each week which could include:
  • Hit the Button.  A link to Hit the Button will be posted in Google Classroom along with which options they should choose e.g. number bonds, multiplication tables, etc.  After playing a few games, pupils should record their score that day in the Google Doc posted on Google Classroom.
  • Daily six.  This quiz will be posted on Google Classroom for pupils to complete.

• Reading – we are unable to send books home at the moment therefore, pupils should choose any book and try to read for 10 minutes each night.

I hope this helps.  If you have any questions or do not have access to a device please just let us know.

Thanks
