Term 3 update

Wow what a busy term.  I can’t believe we are nearly at the end of term.  Here’s an update of what we have been up to.

Lerwick Up Helly Aa

The weather was kind so we managed to walk to the street to see the Jarl Squad morning procession.  We loved seeing the galley and the guizers.  In the afternoon we had a visit from the Jarl squad and even got a chance to try the helmets, axes and shields.  They were impressed with the Shields we made.

Term 3 Learning

We have been working hard all term learning about subtraction and money in maths, and we have been learning punctuate our sentences with full stops, exclamation marks and question marks.  We have done a LOT of writing.

We have done 2 different topics this term.

Topic 1 – The Senses

We learnt all about our 5 senses and finished the topic by putting our senses to the test.  Miss Watson (Foundation apprentice with UHI) also got involved by creating a fantastic feely box.  We loved all the stations but the feely box and the fidgets were the best.  The smell station was a very “smelly!”

Topic 2 – Who lived here before us

We made our second trip out this term to the museum.  We learnt about the people who have lived here before us and made timelines to show when things happened.

 

We really enjoyed our visit so we have written letters to Mari and Ellie at the museum to say thank you for the tour.

Primary 3 have worked really hard this term but we have had time for a little fun too.

Ayla and Ella worked together to create a lovely game during Fun Friday

Term 2 Class Assembly

On 31st October we not only celebrated Halloween by dressing up, we also had to lead the Assembly.  We chose to do our assembly on our learning from Term 1 – Healthy Eating.

Here are photos of us telling P1, P1/2 and P2/3 all about how to eat a healthy diet using the Eatwell Plate.

Literacy in Term 2

We are learning to add detail and description to our writing by using interesting vocabulary, including adjectives.  We have written about a haunted house and bonfire night so far.

Our class novel is The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark and this is linked to all of our Topic work  – Light and Dark.  

Reading books and pages for each week are stuck in the homework diary for the beginning of each new week.  Spelling words for the week are stuck in the homework jotter.

In grammar we are learning about alphabetical order and using  dictionaries.  In handwriting we are practising writing capital letters neatly (always starting from the top )

 

 

 

 

 

Term 1 – Healthly Eating

We have had a super busy term learning all about Healthy Eating!  We have learnt all about the Eatwell plate that helps us create a balanced diet.  We did our class assembly about this.

We wanted to taste fruit  and practised cutting it up ourselves.

We decided to work in groups to create our own fruit smoothies.  To help us understand what fruits everyone liked the best we all created class surveys and recorded the votes with  tally marks.  We then worked in groups to come up with Smoothie names and created labels.

 

We worked together to make our Smoothies.

They were delicious!

We really wanted to make an advert but just ran out of time.  Maybe we will do this later in the year!
