Today, P3b were putting their numeracy skills to the test outdoors.
We have been learning about putting information into carroll diagrams, venn diagrams and charts.
Today, they collected an assortment of outdoor materials, and sorted them into groups. They then put that information into a chart of their choice.
P3b have really been enjoying transferring their numeracy skills to their outdoor learning.
Well done P3b. Keep up the hard work 🙂
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Have a look at what we have been doing today. A very busy Monday in 3c!
Numeracy
Have a look at the range of activities we have been participating in this week during Numeracy. Some of us were practising our Vertical Subtraction. We have also been learning about information handling and have been creating our own bar graphs and Carroll diagrams. We have been playing games on MyCity to help us read information from tables and graphs. We have also been learning about fractions and have been finding a fraction of a number. We played pairs with fraction cards to learn in a fun way! Have a look below.
This is us enjoying playing Battle of the Giants to practise our mental maths skills.
Healthy Eating – a visit from Warburtons!
Today we were lucky enough to have Warburtons visit us. We learned all about healthy eating and the different food groups. We were taught about what we need to do before we prepare food and then we got the chance to create our own sandwich with a choice of filling! Warburtons also gave us a loaf of Warburtons bread to take home and make our own sandwiches.
World Religions Week
During the last fortnight we have been learning about Judaism. We were lucky enough to have Mrs Wolfson speak to us this afternoon about different aspects of the Jewish faith.
Special Achievement
We are so proud of Matthew Brophy in our class who has been fundraising for the Beatson Cancer Charity. Matthew managed to raise £290 by asking his friends to donate to the Beatson instead of buy him a Birthday present. What a lovely act of kindness Matthew.
Class Assembly
Please remember that this Friday at 9:15am it is our class assembly in the Junior Hall. If you are free please come and join us.
P3b have been very busy this week and last week.
Last week outdoors, we made shapes with sticks and put cubes into them, to identify angles in shapes.
This week, we made numbers with sticks, and put cubes into the numbers to show where the angles were and how many they could find.
This term, for science, P3b are working in the STEM room, exploring forces. We have been working with magnets and investigating whether or not materials are magnetic. They have been doing a lot of research and investigation.
Primary 3c have been enjoying using the laptops and have been learning how to create Powerpoint presentations which they will present to the class.
We have also had fun with our specialist music teacher this week and have been learning to identify different musical beats.
We enjoyed playing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to practise our mental maths! Shreya managed to win £1,000,000 :)! We all enjoyed taking part.
There have also been lots of recent personal achievements! Have a look below..
St Andrews Day
Primary 3C enjoyed St Andrews Day today! Many of us wore tartan and we enjoyed eating some yummy Scottish treats. Darragh kindly made his classmates some tablet and we enjoyed some shortbread.
Outdoor Learning Fun
We enjoyed taking our numeracy outside this week and continued to practise telling the time in the outdoor area!
Primary 3B had a wonderful time today during outdoor learning. They enjoyed doing numeracy problem solving activities before getting a bit muddy! 🙂
