Burn’s Supper
Primary 3/4 had a Burn’s Supper to celebrate Rabbie Burn’s Day. Some of us loved the haggis, neeps and tatties although some have still to be convinced. Â Some Scottish dance music in the background and the scene was set. As you can see from the faces a great time was had by all.
Class Assembly 28th February 2014
On Friday the boys and girls took part in a class learning assembly. We told the whole school about our work learning about Scotland’s cities. Everyone learned lots and the boys and girls had great fun showing off.
Did you know Scotland only has seven cities.
Did  you know that Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland or that Inverness is Scotland’s newest city.
Place Value
We have been learning about the value of where the digit is in the number, such as units, tens and hundreds. For example, if you have a number like 453, the place value of number 5 is tens, the place value of number 3 is ones and the place value of number 4 is hundreds.
We used our white boards to show our understanding and played games such as bingo, dominoes, matching and even a game of countdown.
Numbers Around Us
Numbers are always all around us. We work with numbers, and we deal with numbers on a day to day basis. We have been learning about numbers and were very good at spotting numbers in our classroom and thinking about where we might see them at home or in the environment. Some suggestions were front doors, telephones, clocks, shops and road signs. We took a camera around the school looking for numbers.
Rights Respecting
As part of a whole school project we have been learning about the Rights of the child. We have introduced the children to their rights by helping them to consider the difference between a WANT and a NEED. The basic needs that should be met so children and young people grow up to reach their full potential.
We have learned that along with rights come responsibilities. In Primary 3/4 we have been spending time learning about Article 15 – You have the right to choose your own friends and join or set up groups, as long as it isn’t harmful to others.
We also discussed the right to play. We talked about the types of toys we had to play with and the toys children from other countries had. We then made our own moving butterfly.
Planning the year
In Mathematics we have been learning about ‘Planning the Year’, learning about the days of the week, the months of the year, the seasons and how to use a calendar to plan and identify special events which happen throughout the year. Events such as Christmas, Easter and of course our birthdays!!
