Tag: primary 3

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.

Have a lovely long weekend everyone.

Thank you for your continued hard work and support,

It’s nearly the end of the week Primary 3 and it has been a great week so far with some amazing work being sent in and we had some really good chat in our check ins yesterday and it was lovely to see how well you’re all getting on, although it did sound like some boredom was maybe setting in! So here are some examples of your great work to keep you inspired and to show off how amazing you all are!

We hope you managed to get outside and start getting into the Olympic spirit with the Get Set Tokyo activity log! In keeping with the sporty Olympic spirit Mrs Ferguson has created a great activity for you to try out at home:

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:

Mild

Spicy

Hot

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!

Phonics stories have been put into folders in Teams.

Maths – Babylonian Number system:

Watch this short clip on Youtube about Babylonian number systems of a lady talking you through how we would write the numbers.

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.

Good Morning Primary 3. Welcome back and we hope you have been having a restful couple of weeks on your Easter break. I’m wondering how many of you still have any of your chocolate eggs left!?

As much as we would love to be welcoming you back in person, we will continue to use our online classroom (the Blog and Teams) until we are told we can return to school, so it is going to be an interesting term with the topic you have chosen, “Technology in; sports, space, transport, programming and robotics.”

Reminder:

Primary 3, the majority of your work for the next 6 weeks or so will be in the form of another grid which we have attached at the end of this post. Please work through this at your own pace and preference. We may highlight and refer to some parts of this week to week that we think would be good for you to complete. Again, we will not be expecting all of your completed work to be sent to us, however if you wish to share what you have done with the rest of the class and ourselves, we are more than happy to receive copies or photos or even just a little blurb about how you are getting on. We will continue to add daily activities too, such as Maths, Reading, Spelling, Number Talks and Word Boost.

We will continue to dabble with ‘Teams’, so if you have access or have been using this before the holidays, keep your eyes peeled for new assignments, quizzes and resources on there. The main work and resources needed, however, will be duplicated on the Blog for those who do not have access to Teams.

Your first task for today to ease us back in nicely is a quick check-in. Update us on how you are feeling, ask the class a question to get a discussion started or simply share with us what you have been up to over the holidays. Do this via the posts on Teams, or even in the comments section of this Blog Post. Either way, we would love to hear from you!

Here is the link to the bulk of the activities for the next few weeks.

Learning Grid T4

(Screenshots below – Please let us know if you have problems with access to these.)

 

 

 

 

We are going to be looking at ICT and music through the use of Bandlab this term. It gives you the opportunity to create songs in a similar way to garageband which some of you may be familiar with.

Reading Books:

Group 6 (Mr Woodward’s class) – The Frog Prince

Group 7 (Miss Smith’s Blue Group) – Attack of the Buzzles

Group 8 (Mr Woodward’s class) – Attack of the Centipede

Group 10 (Miss Smith’s Red Group) – Eric’s Talking Ears

Group 11 (Mr Woodward’s Class and Miss Smiths Yellow Group)– Clever Monkey

Before you read your books – look at the front cover of your books and write at least 5 sentences predicting what will happen in your books. There should be a beginning, a problem, how the problem is fixed, and an ending. Think about characters and setting for your beginning and use the cover and the title to try and figure out what the problem in the story might be?

Band Lab

Username/ email: p3_carmondean@outlook.com

Password: p32020carmondean

Go to bandlab.com.

Click on log in and enter the email address and password.

Once logged in click on the red button in the top right corner that says +create.

It will give you a few options, click on the option that says ‘browse loops’.

Then choose a type of music and it will give you a variety of loop tracks to add to your song.

Click and drag the tracks into your song. When you want to add new tracks add them underneath tracks you already have.

Have a play around with different tracks/ genres and instruments.

Change the name of the track by clicking on ‘new project’ at the top of the page and give your song a name so you can remember it.

When you are done, click save and it will save your work.

Next time you log in click on the profile button (it looks like the shadow of a head in the top right corner) and you can find your project to keep working.

Remember that this profile is for everyone to use so please make sure you only create 1 song at a time and only save songs you are happy with.

Here are your Number Talks for today

Remember the different multiplication strategies for multiplication we have looked at: repeated addition e.g. 4×25=25+25+25+25.  Or by removing the zeroes and adding them back in e.g. 30x20 = 3 x 2 = 600. Or splitting the numbers up e.g. 36×20=30×20 + 6×20.

2 x 25                           6 x 20

 

4 x 25                           30 x 20

 

6 x 25                           36 x 20

 

8 x 25                           36 x 19

Bonjour et bon vendredi! We hope you have all had a fantastic week and are looking forward to having two weeks off for your Easter Break.

Today we would have been going to the church and learning all about the Easter story and how important Easter is to Christianity. P3W would like to entertain you by giving you our takes on the Easter story. Each story was retold and created by the pupils in their groups and their mission was to get the story told in under one minute. This proved to be very difficult as there was a lot to fit in. So here are different versions of the Easter story in under 2 minutes!

You could also try some of these Easter crafts if you have time over the holidays:

Easter Chick hand puppets

Or find a stone and decorate

Some easier art ideas from Art Angel that you can do as long as you have a paper and pencil/pen:

‘Creating something from nothing. Start by staining your paper, you can use ink or coffee/tea. Once it’s dry start to use any medium to draw into the stains on the paper. Get ideas from the shapes and colours in front of you.’

Try writing a story either on a computer or in your jotters/ on a piece of paper. As an idea for your story: You wake up on Easter to discover that you have become the Easter bunny. What would your day be like as an Easter bunny? Describe your experience and what you do. Try to include a beginning paragraph describing the characters and setting, middle paragraphs describing your problem and some action that happens, and an ending describing how you overcome your problem.

And here is some non-Easter maths problem solving for you to have a go at:

We would like thank you for all your hard work, dedication, support and enthusiasm for continuing your children’s learning, it is immensely appreciated,

Have a great Easter break,

Miss Smith and Mr Woodward

Good Morning Primary 3, hope you have all been having a fun and productive week! We hope that you spend some time relaxing and having some fun on April Fool’s Day yesterday. We have been getting some great updates on what you’ve been up to, from the work you’ve been doing to the food you’ve been making. And the food looks amazing! Here are some of the examples of some great food that has been made over the last week, it’s making us very hungry!

If you have been able to make some delicious food, could you write up a short set of instructions complete with ingredients and we could put together a P3 cookbook?

In keeping with the food theme, why not try to develop your cooking skills with Theo Michaels, a former Masterchef winner who is hosting live cooking classes on his Youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/cookwiththeo Although some ingredients might be harder to find just now I am sure that as well as the live classes the back log of cooking videos he has will give you plenty of kitchen inspiration!

Today’s arts and crafts idea comes from a Dundee based mental health charity called Art Angel. They have been doing regular projects on their social media channels. If you have the items needed please have a go.  If you don’t have all the items see if you can maybe improvise with what items you do have at home?

‘Today’s home project is mono printing. All you need is a piece of plastic (old shopping bag) and some heavy bodied paint such as acrylic. Tape the plastic down to a hard surface, we used an old cardboard box. Paint on the plastic with a brush, either one colour of a mixture of colours. Gently place a blank piece of paper down onto the painted surface, then draw onto the paper using a pen or pencil. Once the drawing is finished peel back the paper and see what you’ve created. It may take a few goes to get the textures you would like, but just experiment and have fun.’

If you get the chance to get outside over the coming weeks, there are live football coaching sessions as well as some challenges that you might be able to take part in. Ask your parents to sign up for you and you will get access to these sessions: yfs.news/keepscotlandactivereg
