Primary 3 homework 8

Our School Trip

Primary 3 went to the Peoples Palace in Glasgow. Some of us had been before and some of us had not. We had our lunch in the Winter Gardens. We had a look around and then we went to a workshop. The workshop talked about our topic inventions. We had lots of fun.

Here are some of the things we learned and liked:

 

Caiden- I learned in the olden days there were no planes. They went on holiday by boat.

Ewan- I learned that in the olden days they said ‘Doon the Waater’ when they were going on holiday.

Dionne- I enjoyed our workshop with Laura.

Rhys- I learned that a hairdryer looked funny in the olden days.

Niamh- I learned that old houses were very different.

Craig- I learned that telephones are really good.

Riley- I hated the smell of the old soap you had to use in the steamie.

Conor- I enjoyed when we were at the steamie.

Rebecca- In the olden days a baby had to sit in the drawer.

Jason- I think it was really squashed in a single end (one bedroomed house).

Hugh- I liked the old jail.

Mya- I liked the little house and the steamie.

Cameron- All the hoovers in the olden days look very different.

Lewis- I bet it was horrible sharing your bath with your brothers and sisters.

Olivia- I loved it when we got to do all the fun activities.

Andrew- I enjoyed going to the toy shop.

Aiden- I learned that you wear funny hats when you get married.

Ryan- In the steamie everybody had to wash there stuff at the same place.

Jay- I liked when we got to play with the inventions.

Daniel- I know that cameras were really old. I know that you had to hold the camera down look and look through the top to take a picture.

We made some healthy Halloween snacks as part of our health topic. We looked online and picked our favourites to make! We had lots of fun and they were very yummy!

 

Inventions Topic

 

Last week we did a lot of work for our new topic. We looked at a camera that was 50 years old. We matched things that were old and new. We also researched when things were invented.

 

Ewan also brought in an old telephone that belonged to his granddad. It was a great phone to look at!

 

Here are some of our thoughts on the topic: 

Caiden- I thought our topic was good.

 

Niamh- My favourite station was the IPad station. I found out when IPads were invented.

 

Daniel- I liked the IPads because I got to see lots of different years.

 

Craig- I liked being on the Ipads too.

 

Andrew- My favourite station was the sorting station. We had to put everything in the correct order.

 

Nieve- My favourite station was the match station because I got to learn was from the olden days and what is new.

 

Conor- I liked looking at the old camera because it looked like it was 50 years old.

 

Rhys- I liked the camera because you could draw a picture of it and we looked at all the details on it.

 

Ryan- I liked the sorting area because we started sorting all the olden days ones first.

 

Riley- My favourite when we got to compare the old camera and the IPad.

In literacy we have all been learning trickier books. We have been learning about lines of symmetry in maths. It was a bit confusing but now we get it!

 

Our new topic is Inventions. We have talked about important things we need everyday. This week we will be doing a no electricity challenge and we will be looking at an old camera.

 

In P.E. we have been learning about co-ordination. We got to play elephant football which was really fun.

 

Thank you for reading our post,

Primary 3.

Zebras and Loins

This week we got a new reading book.

It is called The Hailstorm. We think this means that two girls are left outside in the hailstorm. We know there are two girls because they are on the front cover. They could be the main characters. We will read this book and find out what happens.

Primary 3 have another teacher in their class. Her name is Miss Kerr and she is here to see how we learn in Chryston. She is coming back in November to help us some more.

we think Miss Kerr is good and nice and amazing!

This week in literacy we have been learning how to fill in missing words in sentences. We found the words in our books using the page number Miss Peattie told us to use. We thought that missing sentences were quite hard to start with but it got easier because we practiced. We were also writing three part stories. This means you need a beginning, a middle and an end.

For writing we had to write an application to be a Chryston Superhero. We do lots of things everyday that make us superheroes. We watched a video by The Kid President that talked about how we are a superhero and used this to help us. He said we could inspire others and we know we do that for the P1’s in the school.

     

This week in maths we have been making number lines. We have beeb looking at the position of numbers in a number line. We can could up and back from 100. We have been looking at numbers written as words now.

 

Ryan- “We learned our ten times table using the X in our sum”.

Rhys- “We learned a lot about number lines.”

Andrew- “I can change number words to a number.”

Niamh- “I liked sticking together our number lines.”

Caiden- “I liked learning some new times tables.”

Dionne- “I liked getting to do our Big Maths Beat That.”

Riley- “We made little windows that tell you the number word and the number.’
