P3/4 Reflection

In Primary 3/4 we have been very busy this September. We have been learning lots and been having lots of fun.

In maths we have been learning lots more about addition and now subtraction. Active maths has helped with the sums we find a little bit more difficult.

We all have successfully completed our first report writing piece. It was very ingesting to learn about report writing. We have all created our own report on Mummification, which we hope you will enjoy reading during parents night.

In PE we are coming to the end of Gymnastics, however we are loving musical theatre with Greig. We are in the middle of a dance routine to the Lion King which looks amazing already.

We have now started Roots of Empathy in our class. During this we have a real baby come to visit us with Mrs Le Blond, we get to learn so much from the baby.

October will be another very busy month for us all and Miss Verrecchia has a lot planned with Halloween art etc.

Thank you  for reading.

Primary 3/4

We have all settled into Primary 3/4 really well and are now getting used to our new routines.

We are all very excited about our new topic this term, The Ancient Egyptians. Already we have been researching the pyramids and even built our own 3D pyramid. We loved recreating and designing our own death masks which are displayed on our topic wall.

In literacy we have been revising our phonemes and common words. The reading tent and blow up doughnut has been so much fun, it helps us with our reading.

In maths we have been working hard on revision with place value and addition. The line up game is really helping reinforce this, plus we get to win prizes.

We are all working really hard and excited for what this year is going to bring as Miss Verrecchia has a lot of things planned for us all.

Reflective Friday Primary 3

This month has been very busy for Primary 3.

We really enjoyed Global Play Day and had a great time using our imagination and sharing with our peers.

This month we have said goodbye to Mrs Gardener but we have welcomed Miss Shreenan into our class. Miss Shreenan will be in our class for 6 weeks and we are really enjoying our lessons so far with her.

This month we have been introduced to Developing The Young Workforce programme, where we had to discuss the definition of Aspiration and share our aspiration. We really enjoyed writing about what we would like to be when we grow up.

In numeracy we have been learning more about multiplications and data handling.

In writing we have been working a lot on Acrostic Poems and now working on report writing.

In ICT we can now send, receive and reply back to emails. We have successfully signed into glow and can assess our emails. Next months we are looking at sending attachments and even creating power points.

In our topic Minibeasts, we have been learning more about life cycles and their habitats.

In This Is Our Faith we are preparing for our First Friday mass. This will be our first school mass with the new priest Father Brown, we are excited that our class will be the first to celebrate with Farther Brown.

This month we were learning about Chinese New Year , which is the year of the Pig. We did a lot of research on the history of Chinese New Year and took part in a lot of Art.

We are looking forward to this month a head as it will be another busy month for Primary 3, we have Fair-trade fortnight, World Book Day, Lent and Science week, just to name a few.

Primary 3 Reflective December

During the month of December we have been very busy again . We enjoyed painting our own Christmas plates for the Christmas fayre . We designed and created our own plates, it was so much fun.

This was our very last nativity and what a great show it was. We had been practising our songs so we hope you all enjoyed ‘The Wriggly Nativity’.

Our classroom is all decorated for  Christmas activities. We have created our own Elf, written a letter to Santa and even had an Elf visit us with Santa for our own Christmas party.

We are all looking forward to Christmas and we wish everyone a Happy Holy Christmas from Primary 3.

Primary 3 have been very busy this month and have been doing very exciting things.

We have been on some visits to our local library where we get a story and can even take books home with us. We also had a wonderful visit to Cineworld at Silverburn to see Fantastic Mr Fox.

As part of Book Week Scotland we enjoyed having the pupils of Mossend Primary read to us in the dinner hall.We even created our own imaginative story based on The Magic Pebble.

Miss Gorman has been in our class working with us. We have been learning more about 2D and 3D shapes, subtraction and fractions. In  art we have all become illuststrators which has been so much fun.

We are all so excited for you all to come and watch the P1,P1/2 and P3 “Wriggley Nativity ” which we have been practising VERY hard.
