We used our outdoor space to help us create settings for creative writing. We talked about how we need to use our senses to help the reader visualise the setting. We used these to create our own writing.

Have a look at how we completed our work.

Here are some homework tasks to complete at home this week.

Can you write your spelling words outside using chalk, leaves or twigs?

Can you make number stories for at least three of the following numbers? Choose the ones that you think will challenge you!

9, 13, 17, 21, 28, 33, 45, 47, 59, 66, 89, 92, 101, 105, 209

Can you practice these tricky words?

• the

Can you create a song to help people remember the importance of washing their hands to help keep them safe? You could maybe film yourself singing it!

Take pictures and post them to the blog 🙂

Primary 3 have been learning about different emotions in health and well-being recently.

Yesterday, they were looking at art that showed the emotion, anger. We found that these pieces of art used a lot of red and black colours and also had lots of scribble looking lines.

We decided to create our own angry art. Have a look at how well we did and at our amazing angry faces!

Primary 3 were making tens and units in the sensory garden today!

Hasnain and Taylor even challenged themselves to make hundreds, tens and units.

here is some evidence of their great work.

Can you have a go at any of these homework tasks this week?

Can you find objects outside that have an oo sound in their name? Leave a comment on the blog of some of the things you found!

Can you make number stories with natural objects outside? this could be leaves, twigs, pebbles, conkers and many more things. Remember not to pull any twigs, leaves or flowers out of the ground as they are still growing. Take a picture of your number stoty and add it to the blog.

Can you measure the length of a wall in your house using handspans? Leave a comment to say how long the wall was.

Read for at least ten minutes a day. This could be a book, newspaper, blog, online book, magazine, comic or anything with words!

Write about your favourite game. What is it? How do you play? How many people can play? Why do you enjoy it?

Here is a look at some of the work we will be doing this term. We have had a lot of time out of routine so we need to make sure we are great at all of the things we knew before lockdown before moving on which is why there is some revision of work.

Welcome back to school everyone!

It’s been a long time since we were at school, even longer for Mrs McCafferty! So we have been taking some time to get ourselves used to our environment again and ease back into our school work with some fun activities!

It’s been so great getting to see each other again and work together after Lockdown.

Let’s have a look at some of the fun activities we have been up to since we came back to school a few weeks ago.

Lockdown Haircuts got a bit crazy!

We had fun acting out in the Sensory Garden.

Let’s hope we can have this much fun the whole year!
