On Thursday we decided to take advantage of the good weather and headed outside for P.E. For the next few weeks our focus will be on target games.  Check out some of the target games we played in the playground.

P3 Homework Grid term 4 2

As you know we love using ICT when learning and today we extended our skills in calculating money problems by playing a game on top marks.

At the start of this new term in P.E. we will be focusing on the skills and abilities needed to play a game of golf. Today we learned some of the names associated with golf, how to hold a putter and use it safely and most importantly how to control the speed of the ball.

Our new topic in primary 3/4 is all about sound.

We started by looking at the mechanics of the ear, which we found really interesting.

Next we went on a sound walk around the school, recording all the noises we could hear, both loud and quiet.

We know that sound can move through the air, but we wanted to find out if it would travel through string, so we decided to carry out a little experiment using string and two cups. Check out our experiment in the pictures below.

One of the important things we found during our experiment was that the string had to be tight to work.

This week our new focus in maths has been money.

We have spent some time identifying coins and notes used in Britain and we are learning to count out the exact amount we would need to purchase an item.

Much of our learning experience has taken place through board games, ICT games and worksheets. Counting money has been tricky, but we are going to keep practising until we get it right.

What a superb bunch of cooks we had today!!

These five children chose to make toast for everyone in the class.

Here they are keeping an eye on the toast so that it doesn’t burn, buttering it to make it soft and tasty and showing off their cutting skills as they cut it ready to serve to the class.

Well done super cooks!!

In maths we have been learning about fractions and it’s been tricky.

Today however we had great fun playing a game called roll it. We threw a fraction dice and using a worksheet  we coloured in the fraction shown on the dice. It was a race to see which team would finish first!!

excitement!!

Here we are having some fun, dancing and keeping fit in the class. We were hoping for some Jump Start Johnny but instead found the skeleton dance. This brought back some memories of work we did on the Skeleton last term.

We had a super trip to Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. Have a look at all the things we got up to when we were there. See if you can spot the scary witch that we encountered at the Auld Kirk.
