P3a

Last week we were lucky to get a visit from the Zoolab and met 6 different animals. We learned lots of interesting facts and got to hold or touch some of the animals.

In writing we have continued on with our recount writing which is going well. We have also been working on verb and verb tenses to help with our writing.

In maths we have been comparing angles as well as learning and using compass points.

Lastly we finished our Scottish topic by listening to traditional and modern Scottish music and talked about what we did and didn’t like about it, used the iPads to research Scottish Landmarks and created a timeline of some Scottish inventions.  We are now about to begin our new topic which is ‘The Vikings

P3a Update

P3a began the week creating a collaborative picture of Rabbie Burns which is now on our class door and has been getting lots of positive comments.

In maths we were learning to tell the time on both digital and analogue clocks.  We can now tell o’clock, quarter past and half past times.  We also had a look at identifying am and pm times.

In writing we began recount writing and wrote about our day off due to the storm.  We will continue with recount writing for the next few weeks.

As it was Chinese New Year we learned the story of Nian and about the different traditions that people follow when they celebrate.  We then looked to see what animal we were according to the Chinese calendar and discussed if we shared any of the animals traits.
