3c – Class of 2015

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.

Achievements

Well Done to lots of our pupils in Primary 3c who have been awarded with certificates and medals for a variety of their hobbies outside of school! We are so proud of all of these amazing achievements!

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.

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!

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!

Primary 3c’s Class Assembly

Our Assembly

Primary 3c enjoyed presenting their class assembly to parents and other classes this morning. They shared what they had learned about the Parable of the Lost Sheep and reflected on God’s message of forgiveness. Have a look at the pictures below.

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.
