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!!
