Literacy
Room 13 are absolutely loving having Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone read to them during snack time. They have recently completed a piece of writing where they were tasked to write a character description for Rubeus Hagrid. Their writing was full of interesting adjectives and many supported their descriptions with evidence from the story – amazing job!
The boys and girls are now in the process of using everything they have learned during our topic time to plan and write an information report on Ancient Egypt.
Numeracy
This term Room 13 have been working on mental addition and have just started mental subtraction. Many in the class are now making valuable links between the two operations. For example:
if 35 + 6 = 41 then 41 – 6 = 35
Look out for work coming soon on ‘Fact Families’
IDL
Room 13 have really enjoyed their topic on Ancient Egypt. To conclude the topic, the class will be turning their information reports into their own individual paper books!
From now until the end of term, Primary 3’s new topic will be “Christmas Around the World” which will tie in with RME.
I.C.T/Technology
Room 13 have been busy learning about the different functions on Chromebooks and IPads. Last week the children took part in an IPad photo challenge where they learned how to photograph and delete images. This week the children will be working on Chromebook’s to learn how to reply to an email and send an image as an attachment.
DESERT ISLAND
Last month, Room 13 were introduced to a fun ‘brain break’ activity called ‘Desert Island’ and they are loving the challenge! I will let the children explain the rest…
