P3/4 Reflection

Leave a comment

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.

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.

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.

So far in Primary Three we have been continuing to work hard.  This month we have been busy with art making our autumn wreaths and autumn tree paintings.  We are loving our knights and castles topic and we have been studying the  shields and swords that Lucia brought in for us to look at.  We are looking forward to our library visit next month as we all love to read.  We have now moved on to addition in maths. This is more challenging but still good fun.  Every Friday all the Primary Threes work hard to get full marks on their spelling tests.  Our fitness levels have also improved thanks to Ferri Fitness taking us for a session of PE every week.

P6/7b reflective Friday April

Leave a comment

We are now a couple of weeks back from the Easter holidays. We all had a really good time and we are now all back to normal.

Some pupils from the P6/7s celebrated the sacrament of Confirmation. This was a  very special night for all of us especially Daniel who joined us from another school. Bishop Toal and Father Grant led us and everybody joined in the hymns and that was really special for us.

Recently the P6s finished Goodnight Mr Tom and some of the P7s finished The Boy In Striped Pyjamas.  We all agree that both books were really good. We also watched the film version of the book. Some of the people had  imagined what the characters would look like so they were able to compare this with the dramatised version.

In maths we have been learning all about fractions and we are now growing in our confidence as to how to understand them fully.

Over all we are excited for our last term and the last one for all the p7s in Holy Family
