Primary 3/4 Weekly Round-Up – Week Three 🌟

✏️ Literacy & Spelling

This week we have been continuing our work on sentence openers and have been writing some brilliant pieces of work based on Jack and the Beanstalk. The children created imaginative texts about how to grow a magic beanstalk, where the beanstalk takes us, and how to escape a giant! For spelling, we have been focusing on words with the ‘or’ sound. Every Friday is Flashlight Friday in Primary 3/4 – our individual reading time is spent in the dark with our books and mini flashlights. P3/4 LOVE flashlight friday!

🔢 Maths

In maths, we’ve been getting familiar with Sumdog and enjoying the games as a way to practise our numeracy skills. We also recapped place value and continued our work on time, looking carefully at timetables and calendars. During our play times the children have been creating loom bands – we also took the opportunity to add some maths skills by learning how to measure the length of their creations. 
📌 Sumdog logins will go home on Monday so the children can also play and practise at home.

🌱 Our Topic – Plants

We explored photosynthesis this week and learned how plants make their own food. We also talked about the importance of plants producing oxygen and how vital this is for all living things. The children replanted their beans and planted some peas to grow their own “magic beanstalks.” It has been exciting to see how our plants are developing!

💖 Health & Wellbeing

In Health and Wellbeing, we thought about kindness and how our words can have an impact on others’ feelings, helping us to build a supportive and caring classroom community.
