Check out what 3c have been doing!

Science Centre

Primary 3c have had a really busy last few weeks with different outings around our Local area and a trip to the Science Centre. Have a look at the pictures below. First of all we went into the Planetarium and learned all about Space, the constellations and the planets. Then we got a chance to explore each different floor of the Science Centre. Here were some of our favourite parts:

Sophie said: “My favourite part was the Planetarium because I liked seeing Space.”

Eesa said: “I liked the Planetarium because of the stars and I liked seeing the different animals which were in the shapes of the stars.”

Lewis said: “My favourite part was the upside down house. It was a house that you went into and it made you feel all funny and dizzy because it was upside down”.

Celeste said: “I liked the games especially the Multi-tasking game where you had to press the green buttons as soon as they changed colour. It was quite hard because you had to concentrate on lots of different things.”

Coding

We have been using lots of different digital technology this week! We have been coding using beebots and probots. Have a look at our pictures below:

 

We have also been using a coding programme on the Chromebooks which we have loved! We are becoming so good at it. Here are some of the things we enjoyed about it.

Isabella said: “I like being able to try and get the beebot to a destination.”

Gabriel M said “I like the games you can play when coding”.

Martha said ” I like using electronics to learn.”

Ellie said ” I enjoy using lots of different shapes with the probots. I had to try a few times before I worked out how to do it.”

Seonaidh said: “I thought the Beebots were really fun and they taught us how to independently find the treasure on the map by programming the beebot.”

PE and French 

Today in PE we took our learning outdoors and made the most of the nice weather. We combined PE and French and played games using French instruction.

Digital Technology Week 

P3c were lucky enough to learn about how people use technology in the wider environment. We used ozbots which were mini robots. We designed pathways for the ozbot to follow.

Local Area Topic 

As part of of our Local Area topic, we have been enjoying the outdoors and conducting a traffic survey of the different vehicles which pass our school. We then created this information into graphs.

Library Visit 

We walked to Giffnock Library and were lucky enough to find out about the different ways we can use the library and each selected a book to take back to class. We found out about the history of the library and had a look through some books about the history of the local area.

 Science Centre Trip

A reminder that we will be going to Glasgow Science Centre next Tuesday (5th June). Children can bring a packed lunch if they wish or order a baguette from the school which we will bring with us.

Eastwood House

This afternoon as part of our Outdoor learning, we went to Eastwood House to learn more about our Local Area which is our topic. We found out about the history of Eastwood House and then did a quiz about what we learned.

VR Headsets

During Digital Technology Week we have been using a range of technology to enhance our learning experiences. Have a look at us trying out the VR headsets.

Local Area topic 

We have been using the Chromebooks to find out about local businesses in our area and why they are important to the local community. Then we created some information leaflets about a local business.

We also designed our own business which we thought the community needed. We had to think of a name for the business, what it would sell or provide and explain why it would be important.

P3c enjoying tennis!

Tennis Fun

Primary 3c had a fantastic morning practising their tennis skills through a range of activities.

At this station we were working with our partners using sticky bats and foam balls.

At this station we were controlling the tennis balls simultaneously. We had to use teamwork and coordination skills.

Then we practised hitting the ball with tennis rackets while our partners threw the ball to us.

This group were using foam bats to practise their skills with their partners.

We also enjoyed practising our times tables through multiplication snap!

We have been working together in small groups to discuss the importance of our rights and responsibilities which we have been learning about in our topic!

    

 

 

 

Primary 3c

Have a look below at what Primary 3c have been working on in class this week.

The Celts

As part of our Celts topic, children have been learning about different aspects of Celtic life. We combined art, technology and social studies through designing Celtic jewellery with clay! We moulded it into the shape we wanted and then created designs with a pencil. Next week we will paint our Celtic jewellery!

   

PE

We have been enjoying developing our teamwork skills during PE and today were playing a game called Diamond Football. Have a look below:

 

Artwork:

We have now completed our Steven Brown inspired artwork using a range of different medias. Have a look at our wonderful work that is now displayed on our art wall in class:

Writing:

This week we have been learning how to write a comic strip. We focused on using exciting adjectives and using pictures and words which would make it interesting for our reader. We presented our comic strip to the class. Have a look at some of our star writers work this week which is displayed on our writing wall of fame:

Reminder:

A friendly reminder that next Thursday Celts projects are due in to class. We will begin presenting these to the class on Friday. We are super impressed with what we have seen so far. Thank you!

RE

In RE we have been focusing on the theme of Catholic Education Week- Serving the Common Good. We have been learning about how we can all work together to do this and created leaflets and posters about ways in which we can do this in our own lives.

Music 

Our Music specialist has been busy working with us again. We have been listening to the story of Peter and the Wolf and identifying the different instruments we hear in the story.

Science 

In Science we have been learning about germs and diseases. We enjoyed carrying out an experiment on a potato in which we predicted and then tested where most germs would grow on a potato which had been outside, in a control bag, on the floor or which had touched our hands. The conclusion we found was that most germs grew on the potato which had been on the ground outside however our hands and the floor also had lots of germs!

Outdoor Learning

We have been learning about different angles in numeracy and have learned to identify a right, straight, obtuse and acute angle. For outdoor learning we had to create numbers using sticks and identify with the cubes the angles in each number.

Art 

We have been learning about the work of a Scottish artist called Steven Brown. After learning about his life and his work we have been replicating his work. Have a look at some of the amazing giraffes that we produced using coloured pencil. Next we will be drawing Highland cows and using oil pastels as our media.
