Bonjour et bon Mercredi! We made it to Wednesday and that means today we have our Teams catch up chat! It was lovely to see and hear from so many of you last week and Mr Woodward was impressed he finally got the whiteboard working so you could all have a play about and write messages and attempt to play noughts and crosses against each other! Maybe a noughts and crosses tournament is in order? The chat will be at 10am, looking forward to seeing you all there!

For today’s Garden Week idea why not try creating your own version of a sensory path in your garden? (Depending on the weather, maybe if it rains it’s an indoor activity?) Outline a path in your garden if you can, then using whatever you have that you will be able to walk on barefoot set out your path. Have a go at walking along your sensory path and try to describe using a few adjectives how it feels in each section. Get other members of your family to try it too and see if they felt the same things you did!

Writing:

Don’t Press the Button

Imagine yourself on a spaceship and there is a button that makes anything you can think of. What would you make using the button and what would you use it for? Describe the spaceship you are on, describe what the button looks like and describe what you make with your button. Make sure to have a beginning, middle and end to your story with 1 problem you need to solve using the thing you make with the button.

The Empty Palace

You are the son or daughter of a king and queen. One day you wake up and the whole palace is empty. How do you feel being in an empty palace? Your mission in your story is to investigate and track down everyone in the palace. How did they disappear, what happened to them and how do you get them back?

Sands of Akwa

You have landed on a strange planet looking for some special treasure. What does the planet look like, who is with you and what are you looking for? While looking for the treasure you meet some people who try to help you, and some people who want to stop you. Who are these different people? Your story should start when you land on the planet, you meet the different characters and our adventure should take you to your treasure.

Tom Thumb and the Football Team

Tom Thumb spends part of the story stuck indoors when all he wants to do is go outside. Think of an adventure you would like to have in your local area once you are allowed outside again and write about it. Where would you go, what would you do, who would you be with? How does it feel being stuck indoors and how does it feel to finally be allowed outside again?

Stinky Street

In Stinky Street Franklin is trying to stop the sale of his house so he doesn’t have to move away from where he lives. Imagine that Franklin actually wanted to move. Where would he move to, what does his new house look like? What kinds of things are near his new house and who does he meet? Describe the excitement of moving to a new house and of meeting new people and exploring a new area.

Maths: Today we are looking at weight and converting weight from grams to kilograms. To change between grams and kilograms you have to remember that there are 1,000 grams (g) in 1 kilogram (kg). So 1,000g = 1kg, 2,000g = 2kg etc.

Converting g to kg and kg to g

Hello Primary 3! We hope you’ve had a lovely and well rested time over the weekend and you managed to make the most of it. Thank you so much for all the work you’ve sent us, for all the messages and interactions we’ve had from you, it has been wonderful to see how hard you’ve been working so thank you!

Please see here for the new Home Learning Grid:

Learning-Grid-May-June.pdf

This should see you up until the Summer Holidays, should we need it to last this long. The grid includes things you would have been learning in class had we still been there. We will continue to post daily Numeracy, Literacy, RRS and extra tasks, however, the activities on the grid can be done in jotters, on paper, or as you see fit. Please complete what you can of it and do what fits with your schedule and family life. There is no expectation that every single activity is completed or indeed that the ones completed are shared with us. We are happy to see your work should you wish to record it for us and send it. Please remember we are always on hand to help out if you need any reassurance or have any questions.  Thank you P3! We hope you enjoy the activities.

Rights Respecting Schools Article of the week: Article 15 Freedom of Association with a focus on setting up or joining groups.

• During these times it can be difficult to stay in touch with other young people and groups that we are part of. Make a list of 5 children that you would like to get in contact with. Write them a letter or video call them this week to find out how their week has been.
• Think about a group or club you are part of. Create a poster or leaflet to encourage other people to join. Make sure to list all of the reasons why it is a good idea to join this group.
• The word ‘association’ is interesting. You have perhaps heard of the Football Association (FA) or the Automobile Association (AA) Look up the meaning of ASSOCIATION and explain to somebody in your home what it means.
• How does the following short clip relate to article 15. Can we learn anything from it? Article 15

This week is National Children’s Gardening week which means, should the weather be good, there is plenty of things for you to do outside or inside to get into nature and gardening! Some of the ideas mean having seeds to plant but there are plenty that you can do without having access to seeds too, including colouring and some recipes you could try out! This website has many ideas for things to try and we will be highlighting one of our favourite ideas each day: https://www.childrensgardeningweek.co.uk/fun-things-to-do/

For today why not try making stone garden markers so that when you can grow your own plants you can leave your marker where different plants are?

And some problem solving for this morning:

Reading: Read the second half of your book if you haven’t done so already. A reminder of the books you should be reading:

Level 6 – Don’t Press the Button

Level 7 (Blue Group) – The Empty Palace

Bonjour et happy vendredi Primary 3! The weather has been lovely to finish the week off and I hope that for your long weekend the weather continues to stay bright and beautiful and you can all get out in your gardens or take a safe and socially distant walk around some of your favourite walking spots!

Remember that Monday is a holiday so no work will be posted and we don’t expect you to do anything work related at all, enjoy the extra day and we will look forward to hearing all about your long weekend next week when we get back!

If the weather does turn bad, or if you find yourself with some extra time on your hands and you’re feeling creative, why not try this painting and drawing activity. First take a paper and a paintbrush and a paint colour of your choice. Then just let your brush wander over the paper and for even more randomness don’t look at the paper when you are putting paint on it. Then use the random patterns you’ve made to create a picture using coloured pens/ pencils/ crayons/ different paints? The great thing is this will be different every time! Here is a few examples courtesy of Art Angel:

Mental Maths today are as follows, remember to time yourselves to see if you can beat your time taken to complete! Answers will be posted in Teams Files later on in the day.

 

 

Your new challenge this week is based on the ‘transport’ aspect of technology you chose to learn about. We will be beginning with learning about the Steam Engine and James Watt’s part in improving this.  Link to Pdf is below, and has been uploaded to Teams files. Please let us know if there are any problems accessing this.

Happy Wednesday Primary 3, we hope you have been having a great week so far, we have loved seeing all of your great work and the activities you have been up to. We have had pictures, paintings, videos, even a short clip of Carson doing a backflip! We are loving your creativity and it is so impressive to see how much you are doing with your time away from doing work, well done everyone!

Today we are having our check-in at 10am, we hope to speak to you all as it has become the highlight of our week getting to chat to you all and find out what you’ve been up to!

Today we have a challenge to set you all in light of not having the Olympics and Paralympics this year. The challenge is to keep active however you can and to keep a record of your activities on this website: https://www.getset.co.uk/travel-tokyo. You will need to find your school and then record what you’ve done and how long you did it for and there are possible prizes up for grabs!

Your maths today is all about looking at the area of a shape. The area is the space inside a shape. So imagine that all shapes are made up of little squares, to find the area you count all the squares. When writing your answers for the area of a shape you write it as cm² – the small 2 means ‘squared’. There will be shapes in future activities that don’t have squares drawn on and then you need to use multiplication, however we will worry about that when we get there! I will also put up an area instructional video in Teams to help you! Choose your own challenge level:

Good morning Primary 3, we hope you are well and we are excited to share some work and some of the VE celebrations pictures we have received yesterday. It is always so uplifting to see the work you’ve been doing and we would love to post every single thing you’ve sent to us, however unfortunately we cannot upload everything due to blog upload restrictions. Here is a selection of photos, including Thomas and his family’s VE celebrations which looked like so much fun and Poppy creating her potato space art, it’s out of this world!

 

We would also like to remind you that tomorrow at 10am we will be having our Teams check-in. We thought to change the time to the morning and see how it goes, if the afternoon suits people better we will return to the afternoon and if the morning is better we can keep it to then? We are looking forward to chatting with you all and seeing how you are getting on, we miss you all!

We would also ask your parents if it would be possible for them to follow this link and complete this short survey from West Lothian Council, this would be much appreciated!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbFJeYSKfoo

Can you go into the garden and make the numbers from natural things you can find outside or things you can find around the home, eg. twigs, grass, cocktail sticks, crayons, wool? The numbers are all made from straight lines. See how far you can go with your numbers.

Reading today is a written task. There are two in the Teams assignments because we had a holiday, however, posted below is just one of the activities so that we don’t take up too much room on the Blog. Please message if you can’t access Teams and would like the other one to go with your book.

Good morning boys and girls! Well, it is now May! Can anyone remember how to say “the first” in French? Let’s see who remembers and can tell us!

Today is Friday, so that means you have to make sure you get some free time today!  We have a special job for you today. Your special job is to make sure all of the adults at home have some free time to themselves today, because they have been working just as hard as you this week! Especially helping us with our class chats on Wednesday! Can you do that!?

Today we have a little Friday challenge to keep you busy next week. It is about the Hubble space telescope and we hope you enjoy learning about it. It was Hubble’s birthday last week. Can anyone find out what age Hubble is? There are a few links for you to investigate to help you with your research.

Link to Pdf and screenshot of challenge:

Critical Skills Challenge Hubble

We also have a little mental Maths test for you to complete. I will upload the answers later on in the day for you to check your work. You can choose whether to do Number 2 or Number 16 this week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please remember it is a holiday for you next Monday and Tuesday, so there will be no new work posted for you on these days. If you are treating it like a normal day, there are plenty of activities for you to work on, in your learning grid and on Education City.

We will speak to you again on Wednesday, where we will have another class check-in online at 1:30pm. If you are free it would be lovely to welcome you and hear your news. Remember to join with microphones and videos off. We are really looking forward to it!

Thank you all for such a productive week and we hope you all have a fantastic weekend.

Bonjour primary 3! Aujourd’hui c’est Mercredi vingt neuf Avril, we’re nearly into May!
