In terms 3 and 4, primary 1-3 have been learning a range of topics. We started the year looking at Scotland and all things Scottish. We tried a range of Scottish foods, learned different poems and sang songs with David Hunter. We then moved onto our topic of The World Around Us. This topic has allowed the class to learn about lots of different things. We started with the jungle and looking at what animals live there and their habitats. We then began to look at famous monuments and created some with a range of resources. We are currently learning about different careers and discussing what we would like to be when we are older. It has been really exciting exploring the different aspects of the world.

This term we have also been learning about data analysis and measure. We have been participating in lots of active maths and getting the chance to use the outdoors and school to measure different things. We learnt about centimetres and metres and the differences in different measurements. We will be moving onto fractions for the rest of the term and we can’t wait to do more active tasks.

During our outdoor learning sessions, we have been building our team building skills. We have been working hard at working together and as part of a group using different equipment. Mr Woods also built a fire with us one week and brought us in marshmallows. This allowed the class to learn about fire safety. We can’t wait to keep going out once a week to enjoy the sunshine!

We have been working hard through our Talk for Writing activities and have developed lovely handwriting skills and have become superstars at using adjectives in our writing. This term we will be focusing on punctuation and will have a big focus on speech.
