P3 Numeracy fun!

P3b and P3d are having great fun, in maths, this term.

“I liked breaking up the fractions and trying to see which ones would fit together.” (Gabriel B – 3b)

“I liked using the foam fractions because it was great fun.  I liked using the one that was like a big pizza.  Me and Matthew made houses out of them.”

(Joseph H – 3d)

“I liked making the fraction pizzas and I love playing games on the laptops.” (Emily – 3d)

  

“I liked that we could make things out of the shapes.  We made an alien pop star.” (Mia – 3b)

“I liked how we could make whatever we wanted out of the shapes. My favourite part of maths is when we use the laptops because we do a whole load of different games.  Sometimes Miss Gavin sets us games and sometimes we can choose our own.” (Sophie – 3b)

“I liked making different things out of the big shapes.  I also like playing all the games on the laptops.” (Matthew – 3d)

“I liked how we play games on the laptops because they are a lot of fun.”

(Joseph K – 3d)

“I like using the laptops because it helps me to learn big numbers when I’m playing games.” (Eve – 3b)

“I like how we are doing different tasks in small groups.  I really liked using the big shapes because it was a good way of helping me learn them. I like how Miss Gavin challenges us with different games, on the laptops, every week.”

(Penny – 3b)

“I liked using the big games. I liked making shapes with the big shapes.”

(Callum – 3b)

“I liked working with our workbooks this week.  The big numbers were very challenging. I liked the big shapes because they were nice and glittery.”

(Rachel – 3b)

“My favourite game was the dominoes because I liked how we could build them up and knock them down.  We made calculations with the spots on them.” (Maggie – 3b)

Have a look what P3c have been doing!

Digital Technology

We tried using the Virtual Reality Headsets which we have recently got in the school! We absolutely loved using them!

Maths fun

We regularly use Kahoot quizzes to help consolidate our learning in class. This group were playing a division quiz!

We also enjoyed practising our times tables through multiplication snap!

Talking and Listening 

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!

    

 

 

 

P3b Present their research projects!

Primary 3b have been very busy! Last term they learned all about The Celts.

As part of their homework research task they selected an aspect of Celtic life in the past and by using historical evidence, they produced some amazing pieces of evidence.

 

Some boys and girls choose to make Power Points about Celtic food, homes, weapons and even Law and order in Celtic times.  Some of them made models of swords, shields and roundhouses.  Others made fact files and posters.  The pupils very much enjoyed showing off their projects and worked very hard on their presenting skills.

They loved comparing aspects of Celtic life to modern day life and contributing to many discussions around this.  They found out some amazing facts and really enjoyed sharing them with the class.

P3b have done some wonderfully impressive research and investigation and they have really learned from one another’s presentations.

Well done P3b, very impressive work.

 

Designing Magnetic Games

Check out P3d’s Blog. Over the last number of weeks P3d have been investigating forces on magnetic and non-magnetic items. We worked together in small groups at a variety of Stations to learn about magnets.

From there we progressed to designing magnetic games. We had to decide on what type of game we wanted to create and then decide on the materials that would be needed. We wrote out instructions so that other groups would know how to play our games.

We are really pleased with our finished games!

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!

 

 

P3b – Science – Forces & Magnets

For the last 6 weeks, in the STEM room, P3b have been exploring forces exerted by magnets.  They have been investigating forces on magnetic and non-magnetic materials.

This week, they have been applying their knowledge of magnetic materials and in groups, they contributed to the design of a game.

First, they had to logically organise their information about magnets and magnetic materials.  Then they had to decide what materials they needed to create and design their own game.

Lastly, they wrote out instructions for their games so that they could test them all out.

They had fantastic fun working with magnets and forces and loved making their own games.

 

Have a look at what P3c have been doing this week!

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..
