At gym this week P3/4 worked in pairs to practise counterbalances and in groups at fitness stations. Our focus is to develop agility, balance, coordination and strength.

Primary 3/4 were learning how to measure classroom objects in milimetres and centimetres.  We compared our answers and learned that 1cm = 10mm.  Next, we are going to learn how to measure in metres.

In maths we have started a new topic, Measure.

What did you learn on Monday?

Sara: “We were learning about measure length.”

Mia: “I learned that we could measure lots of stuff. Some are hard some are easy.”

Something very important in this topic is using a ruler properly. Can you remember the rules for using a ruler?

Milosz: “That you don’t start at the beginning you start at the zero on the ruler.”

Louise: “Always put the zero at the start.”

The class worked in small groups to create an animal height chart.

Alan: “1 person held the start, 1 person was gluing in the animals, 1 person was drawing the line and the last person was holding the end.”

Chelsea: “We drew the chalk where the animal was.”

Leon: “We used a measuring tape to see where the animal was because the height was on the picture.”

I’m as tall as a…

Sara: “rhino”
Chelsea: “penguin”

Alexander: “the penguin.”

Leon: “just at the rhino”

Dominik: “the rhino”

Kian: “a was over the penguin”
Emily: “I was as tall as a penguin.”

This afternoon whilst their parents were discussing the Sacraments, children from P2/3, P3/4 and P4/5 helped to create some beautiful artwork that will be displayed in the Church.
