Halloween week

Primary 3-class blog

Numeracy
We have been learning how to count up in 100s all the way to 1000. Our learn it this week is 5 + 2 = 7 and we can write the fact family for this. In Big maths we have been doubling and halving our 10 numbers, Jenna knows that double 30 is 60.

The whole class have learned how to measure length, we have used rulers to measure length. We know that there are 100 cm in a m. We have been estimating the length of objects and checking our estimations with a ruler. An estimation is a sensible guess. We also learned how to draw a table to display our results.

Literacy
This week the Cat in the Hat group have moved to purple books, they have been learning how to write questions.
We have all been working on writing our books in our own words. We know we need to include information from the beginning, middle and end.
This weeks phoneme was ea and we worked really hard to improve the scores on our spelling challenge.

Art
This week we made 3D pumpkins. We used white paper. We painted it orange then we let it dry. Once it was dry we cut out strips. We stuck the strips together at the bottom and top to make a round shape. We added eyes and a mouth. At the top we stuck some green paper and a piece of string to hang the pumpkin. They looked great.

Music
We know how to paly to a beat with our class. We all had our own instruments and played low and high sounds. In music we have been learning the names of instruments and we met some new instruments. Some of us got to be the conductor in music which was great fun.

ICT
In ICT the Cat in the Hats used Pages to publish their literacy work. We have also been using the popplet app again so that we don’t forget how to use it.
