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

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!

    

 

 

 

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.

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.

Welcome back Primary 3c!

Primary 3c have settled quickly back into routine after the Christmas holidays! We have been enjoying getting to know our new teacher Miss Young and we congratulate Miss Harris on the birth of her new baby girl Valentina.

We enjoyed working with our music specialist today!

     

Today during our outdoor learning time we used natural materials to create our spelling words! We also did some handwriting through finding patterns in nature.

    

We have started a new social studies topic of the Celts and we are looking forward to finding out more. We have also started a new class novel ‘The Invisible Boy’.
