As part of our learning on ‘Water’ this term, we headed outdoors to set up our water butts. Thank you to everyone who donated milk bottles! We’re planning to regularly check the water levels, collect the water and use it to water our sunflowers. We used our collaboration and critical thinking skills.
As part of Health and Well-being week, we explored some yoga moves. We worked together. The children would like to try some more yoga in gym time. It was fun!
As part of Health and Well-being Week, we made fruit rockets to enjoy. We used our numeracy skills to share out the grapes, oranges and strawberries. We talked about the importance of healthy food choices and the importance of cleanliness when preparing and eating food. We used our creativity and communication meta skills. The fruit was delicious!
As part of our learning in our ‘Water’ topic, we planted sunflowers. We worked together, shared resources and now we’re monitoring the growth and taking turns watering the plants. We also practised our functional writing skills and wrote instructions on how to plant a sunflower. We used our collaboration, communication and creative meta skills.
As part of our learning on times tables, we played ‘Find the Factor’ games using playing cards. We used our cooperative and critical thinking meta skills.
We took the opportunity to speak about water freezing from a liquid to a solid and enjoyed a cool treat on such a beautiful afternoon.
As part of our S.T.E.M. leadership activities, we conducted an experiment to test if oil and water mix. We discovered that they don’t mix due to the molecular structure of water and oil being different. In our first attempt, bicarbonate of soda was not the right kind of activator so we repeated the experiment using alka-seltzer as the activator and it was great to see the reactions developing inside our own lava lamps! We used our collaboration, communication and creativity skills. We’re going to share our learning with other children in the school during Fun Friday time and conducting the experiment with them.
Hi,
Welcome to Term 4!
Please click on the link below to view the Curriculum Information for Term 4.
At the end of Term 3, we had a lovely surprise! The service users at E.T. and Taing House have been busy making beautiful bunnies for the class. Mrs Friendlander delivered them. As a thank you, we made Easter cards. We’ve had so much fun visiting and keeping in touch with the staff and service users. It’s great to be a part of the wider community. 
We hope to visit again in Term 4.
As part of our learning in our Numeracy Project on ‘Time – Calendars’, the whole class achieved their targets and joined the ‘100 Club’ and we celebrated by doing a conga through the school. Primary 3 joined us, as well as some of the canteen ladies. It was fun!
