This term we will be working hard on all our literacy skills. Looking at our reading, handwriting, and spelling. Getting ready to transition into our next year.
Our Talk for Writing text this term is ‘Is Plastic Fantastic’. We have been beginning to do some research into pollution and ways of reducing single use plastics. The class are going to be exploring new vocabulary to do with recycling. They will then be looking at writing an informative piece of writing.
In maths we have been working on building our confidence with our number work so far this term. Looking at different strategies for answering addition and subtraction calculations. We are going to be continuing this with multiplication and division. We will also be having a focus on problem solving and building up skills in this area.
Our topic for this term is ‘Inclusion in Society’. We have begun by looking at the definition of inclusion and how we are all different in our own ways, but we are all humans the same and deserve equal opportunities. We will go onto explore different ways people can be excluded and find strategies that we could do to stop this being the case.
In Science we have started learning all about the water cycle and will go onto explore water in its different forms.
Our PE days this term are a Monday and Tuesday, where we are going to be getting ready for sport day. We have also started looking at ball skills to begin our block of basketball.

Forces
Primary 3/2 have been working with Primary 1 to explore and investigate friction and gravity. They have been developing scientific skills such as planning a fair test, using questions and ideas to create an investigation and designing and carrying out scientific investigations. They made parachutes using different sized cupcake cases, explored friction with teddy zip line races and investigated gravity and friction by rolling balls of different sizes and shapes down the hill and observing how the size and shape of a ball had an impact on the speed at which it travelled.

As part of the children’s Brave topic they made their own bows and arrows using coat hangers and then used real bows and arrows.
