This week we have been learning about tattie howking! We made brilliant pictures to share in the Harvest Service. We weaved baskets using strips of paper and then painted potatoes to put in them. We have been practising for the Harvest Service. We hope you enjoyed it.

In Literacy, we learned about the features of an imagined diary entry. We found out that we needed to include Dear Diary, an introduction, what happened (in chronological order), an ending and Love from….  We pretended we were tattie pickers and wrote in our diaries about our day. We used a tick sheet to make sure we included all the things we needed to. We also had to try and use openers, connectives, describing words and how we felt. We underlined examples of each these things in a coloured pencil. We decided this was a helpful way of checking that we had included the things we needed to.

In Numeracy, we were adding and subtracting multiples of 10 (and 100 for some) to 3-digit numbers. Some children were working on place value riddles.

In Maths, we drew a bar chart to show the results of our survey about P3’s favourite colours in French!

In Science, we made a pairs game with the 5 food groups and examples of each of them. You had to match a food with the food group it comes from. We worked in pairs.

In PE, we learnt how to hold a hockey stick and how to pass the ball by ‘pushing’ it with the stick.

We enjoyed the Butterfly Hunt on Thursday. Joe and Perla were the only children in P3 to find any butterflies. Well done to you two.

Happy Tattie Holidays, everyone.
