We had a very busy (and very dog-themed!) International Dog Day in Primary 3\/4, with lots of different activities throughout the day. The bairns worked so hard and did a fantastic job!<\/p>\n

We started with some dog-themed maths challenges, and they certainly weren\u2019t easy! The children really rose to the challenge, showing lots of determination and great problem-solving skills. It turns out that four paws are also very handy when you\u2019re practising your 4 times table!<\/p>\n

Next, we got creative with a dog drawing challenge. I was so impressed with the results… we definitely have a very creative bunch in Primary 3\/4! There were so many brilliant drawings, each with their own little personalities.<\/p>\n

We then moved on to our literacy learning, where we practised note-taking and identifying key words from information. The bairns then used their notes to create facts in their own words and they did not disappoint! It was lovely to see them beginning to understand that good note-taking is about picking out the important information rather than trying to copy everything.<\/p>\n

Finally, we brought all of our learning together to create some fantastic dog fact posters. The finished results were brilliant and really showed just how much learning had taken place throughout the day.<\/p>\n

A busy but great day with lots of maths, literacy, creativity and, of course, DOGS!<\/p>\n

Well done, Primary 3\/4… you were paw-some!<\/p>\n
