P3a

We had a wonderful time in PE this morning. The frame was out and everyone got the chance to see how high they could go as well as doing some

work on the ropes.

We are learning to serve underhand and return overhead shots in badminton. It’s quite tricky but we are enjoying it.

We were all very busy this afternoon making flapjacks for the coffee morning tomorrow.

Please come along and try our fabulous creations!

The children had great fun finding number patterns and creating super pattern designs on the iPad. They used their addition skills to complete a pattern worksheet, made patterned loom bands, created even more patterns with their potato printing and finally made a collage of pictures they had taken of patterns found in and around the school. Well done P3/4 you are all experts in pattern!!

 

As you know maths week has been all about pattern. Today the children started the day identifying a pattern in their spelling words. They all ended in day and started with a capital letter. Can you guess?

Later in the day we used a variety of 2d shapes to make some great patterns.  The smartboard was a favourite with the children as they explored tessellation.

We had great fun today at the start of Maths week. Lots of work on patterns and today we were looking for number patterns. We were so good at finding them that we had to resort to using something a bit  bigger than  our whiteboards!

 

However….we were very good and cleaned up all the desks!

This is our phoneme for the week. We always try to give the children a really wide range of interesting experiences to help them remember and use it.

So we got out the paint and here are the results of our creativity!

This term P3/4 will be exploring UNICEF – The Rights of the Child.  Parents beware!!

The children started by talking about what they thought represented a want and what they thought represented a need.

Next, as part of a group, they completed a sorting task of wants and needs.

Finally, they reported back to the class why they had chosen a particular area. As you can imagine this resulted in some great debates between the children!!

We thought we would take advantage of the good weather and plan a few outdoor activities, one of them being orienteering.

Thank you Stuart and Ross for coming along to teach us the basic skills required in orienteering. We had a fun day!

Primary 3/4 are delighted to announce that we had a very good election this afternoon. We now have two excellent pupil reps to sit on the Pupil Council and make sure that the thoughts and feelings of other children in P3/4 are heard.
